yes, I have all the pictures on my computer. that is not the issue. it is that all the links in my threads will show that stupid logo of theirs in a couple months and in order to fix them I have to go back through, and find the pictures and then load them for each site. no it is not...
:yellowjeep: swapped out the crank sensor and had to check with the hesco forum to figure out the air gap. gapped it to .050 and ran the wires in a better way and re wrapped the loom wires with electrical tape and fired it up. it is running like new again.
I have been checking in occasionally. but that never to be sufficiently damned photobucket fiasco has me pretty much defeated when it comes to forums. all my pictures and how to's and build threads are all going to be useless after the first of the year, so I have not felt much like posting...
I finally decided to tackle the gauges. man have I mentioned I hate wiring. well I bought this gauge package because it had this nice plug and play harness that plugged right into the stock wiring harness. I get the gauges and they sent a universal wiring harness. not happy. I called and...
I spent yesterday and today wiring the new classic dash instrument cluster for the 89. I decided to go with a gps speedometer because of the way the cruise control is wired. I will post up some pictures in a few days when I get back from my conference.

well, Chris I am sure you are a much better engineer than I am, but a 50 foot span with wood trusses is a big span. and to do that it would be a lot of weight. I am assuming therefore that you are planning to go with some form of steel truss. so in my opinion I think the strength of the steel...
well I guess I was pretty close. it was right at 100 horsepower gain at the wheels. the same guy, same dyno same time of year. so I will call this project a win now on to the gauges ggrrrrrrrrrrhhhh, I hate wiring lol.
I finally got the ol 89 over to the dyno shop yesterday. We knew we needed to swap to a cooler spark plug, but we did not know which one to choose, so we were not surprised to hear that on the first run it had some detonation at WOT. also I should have drained the fuel tank before I started this...
well, I haven't driven it much lately. I have my dyno session scheduled for the 22nd. next monday. I will probably have to pick it up tuesday, and we are apparently in monsoon season here so we will have to see.
