Hello Braintrust, I'm in the middle of cable prep for 2-way security and remote start system install and was looking for some guidance. Q1: Is a relay required to trigger the trunk release circuit? Q2: Where would the head lamp (yellow +) circuit connect to on the alarm? Q3: Are all Pins...

ILX-W670 installed this past weekend

With only one TPS Harness part (number) on the website, I'd say a qc issue. Checkout the TPS Harness image from the website, the male plug (to TPS sensor) shows GRN (sensor output) on Pin B.

Not at all (TPS end). Here's a picture of the vacuum line run (follows vapor canister line) from intake manifold to driver side fender (3-bar MAP)

I hope this helps. I just finished up my 3-bar MAP sensor install (w/ TPS harness) and can confirm that the weather pack connector (MAP sensor end) needed to be re-pinned for my application (84/85 TPS): Alky Control TPS Harness Weather Pack Connector (MAP sensor End) = Pin A (BLK +5V), Pin C...

I just installed my Powerlogger and went the AlkyControl TPS harness route: plug and and play. My original idea of having the 3-bar MAP installed near the Hobbs switch (adding a T to provide vacuum/boost source) has changed because of the length of the TPS harness. I would have preferred a...

Does your boost gauge show you vacuum while in idle?

Here's the final result (1/2" (3/4-18) inverted flare brass plugs drilled and tapped for 1/8" NPT)

No kidding. I'm attaching a "Brass Products" catalog page image which helped me get started. I just finished up my coldcase radiator install and have some pictures and info for you. The end goal is to utilize the engine oil cooling section of the radiator, so that the factory trans cooling...

@SCOOBY DOO

I hear you Chatmanboy. I'm wondering if I can use the engine oil section of my Cold-Case radiator as it will "line up" with hard transmission lines. This means I would need to find an fitting/combo that would end up being 5/16" inverted flare female to 1/2" inverted flared male. Anyone on this...

Thanks!

HotAirWH1 : Does the 86/87 driver side header fit the hot air without modification? Thanks!

Good copy

Piston to wall clearance; I'm not sure my original method of measuring was correct but I can squeeze a .036 feeler gauge between piston and wall. Cross hatch presence confirmed. With no signs of rod balance pad work having been performed, should I make plans to have the engine rebalanced...

Scooby Doo: Please take a look at my last post when you get a chance. Looking for some feedback, thanks.

Update # 3: The timing chain set was replaced, push rods rolled true, timing cover work included new oil pump gears that were replaced and a new oil pump cover was installed. .008 gasket gets me .003 clearance (plastigauge) with the gears moving easily without any effort. Are the oil cover...

Push rods, lifters and rocker assemblies organized to go back in as they went in (mell-lube). Will roll the pushrods on glass tonight. Thanks!

Good copy: New timing set on my shelf, just waiting on the damper from RA. Oil slinger on order. The lifters & cam (lifter to cam) contact surfaces show no pitting or signs of distress. Will reuse rocker assembly (new buttons?), pushrods and lifters.

Update # 2: I pulled the block and have gotten as far as removing the oil pan and timing cover. I found a sleeved cylinder (4) and a upgraded timing set with no oil slinger. Attaching pictures to show sleeved cylinder and timing sprocket wear (is the wear pattern normal?) My freshened up heads...
