I did have to cut it and extend it about an inch to get it to line up decent. I kept the stainless braid on so the extension isn't noticable.

I have a PTE 54, the fit is tight.

An easy way to check the relay is to turn the key to the run position without starting the car. Listen for the fuel pump to run (should run for about 5 seconds), if it runs the relay is working.

It could be a combination of low oil pressure and a bad fuel relay. If the fuel relay is bad the oil pressure switch is used as a backup. There may be insufficient oil pressure at idle to active the switch. So: 1) Check your fuel pump relay on the fender, if bad fix or replace 2) Check...

We did put in the old Cal Pack. Joe Lubrant put a sticker on the new chip that shows 92 octane 30lb (injectors). Dad didn't get the translator plus so we can't retard the timing. We don't have another chip to try, the one in my car is for 50lb injectors and an intercooler. I am hoping the...

I believe the MAT only makes very minor adjustments to the fueling. We put the resistor in so we could get the car running without having to find a place in the firewall to route the wires. We did not upgrade the Coil pack or ignition module. Who sells the thrasher chips for $25?

I recently helped my dad replace his 84 ecm with an 86/87. At the same time we installed the translator and 3" MAF. We used a JL 92 octane chip. We installed a resistor instead of a MAT, the computer sees the MAT as 77 degrees (verified with direct scan). After the install everything seems to...

Follow the instructions in my signature, I have a few pic's

Pics Put mine on the crossover too. Had to cut through the outer wall of the crossover to weld to the inner one. Seems to work fine. I mounted mine so it wasn't the low point on the car, it fits slightly into the lower controll arm area on the drivers side. If you want to see some pics read my...

I mounted mine on the crossover. I made a removable pipe from the wastegate to the downpipe to allow easy tranny access. Check out my signature (hope the link still works)

Check out my signature.

Electric cooling fan(s) is/are required.

External I decided to go with the external wastegate, partially due to using Lee Thompson's 3" DP and partailly due to the PT-54 hood clearance. The fit is tight with the PT-54 if you still have the hood insulation and the metal shield that bolts to the hood (mine rubbed on the heat shield). I...
