Nice! Looks like a great location

Wow. That looks great man. Nice job. If I ever go 24x, I'd be mimicking this. It'll be awhile because I'm broke!

Thanks fellas...

Today, I'm terminatin' the Coil wires, albeit slow. I took the guard off the grinder to get in close with the cutting blade. KNEW it was a mistake when I did it... and caught myself putting the dam' thing down on the last grind. Nothing hysterical... just right along the thumb-nail on the right hand. 'Smarts...

Its amazing how much longer it takes to "DO" the things on the list... .

New Bad-ass Battery harness is installed... Battery is charged. Oil Filter installed, Oil filled. The Valve cover bolts for the Cantons seem to have a different thread than the #20 thread that was cut into the heads... built four new ones cut and tacked up. The Belt tensioner was taken off before I installed the engine and for whatever reason, wasn't reinstalled... bolts missing. #18 bolts don't seem to thread... so, had to table that.

Went to plumb the radiation... The tranny cooler lines were installed differently because I'm reinstalling the AC... and the lines for that are too short, so I have to pull the Radiator and Condenser back off.

And that's where I left it tonight, despite being certain that I'd fire the engine today.

Busted my hump getting everything ready to fire the engine... Finally around 5:00 it was all together, radiator filled, fuel... battery & PCM installed.

Turned the key to the first position and the electrical system came alive. But I didn't hear the whir of the fuel pump. But I turned it over anyway. And for the first time in years, the engine turned, but it didn't fire.

Alas, a buddy of mine was in the shop when I got the Racetronix kit in last year and I let him install it... .

:nod:

Anyone have any experience with the Racetronix 'direct to the Alternator' set up, in terms of common screw ups?

It's a simple install, there is the fuse, relay, ground and power from alt. You can listen touch/feel the relay for activation. Check the fuse.
There is also a ground next to the relay that needs to be solid.
Their harness is pretty nice IMO ive done several.

Yeah I looked pretty simple to me to... but... she no pumpy.

I'll go back through it tomorrow. A friend also pointed out that it could be security in this new roller. Quick question tho'... does the Racetronix bypass the in=house security?
