Winter is here whats everybody's project they got cooking??

[Mark T-TB]

yeah, but why isn't that driveshaft shiny?

looks like winter is done , this was the latest ,

the primary pump in the atr double pumper in the 86GN acted up last week before heading out to the Sicklerville meeting , odd because the pumps have maybe 200 miles on them and 1 day at the track
i had test switches under the hood and flipped them on and the pump came on after the secondary was running

so saturday I replaced all the factory fuel wiring with new relays in the trunk direct fed off the trunk mounted battery and triggered directly from the xfi , the secondary is also now digitally controlled
no more 27yr old wiring ,unsealed factory fuel relay , ignition switched relay power and no block ground to cause failures,
also eliminated the hobbs switched secondary pump and the two hotwire kits coming off the alternator .
and all seemed to work fine ..until yesterday
the primary pump wouldnt come on , swapped the pump feed wires and the secondary pump runs .. its not the relays or the triggers .. time to drop the tank

this could have been bad but i did have enough pump to run the times with only one of those 340lph pumps provided it was healthy , heres what i found ..

Is the wiring configured correctly or did just short out? Mark I might swap out shafts on my other car and have that one blasted and put the clean one on but for another time.

was wired properly just overheated , could have been the pump that caused it dont know . it is heavier wire than you'd have on a stock pump

all the wiring will get redone and new connectors at both sides of the hanger

for the fix i dropped a racetronix 8AN feed 6An double pumper in with a pair of reds XP+pumps so that should do for a while

Looks like a loose connection causing high resistance to heat the wire

I just did my outter dew sweeps and wow there must have been almost 3-4" of leaves and pine needles and crap in the bottom of the door blocking drain holes. Looks like I saved myself some potential rust/rot issues cleaning that stuff out. Kirbans outter sweeps are very nice. now time for a brake job. Who's ready to go
Cruise?

Got my other Spoolfool rear filler installed after dinner tonight. They always make a car look so much better. They should have came from the factory like this!

[Mark T-TB]

Impressive, Doc Nice work!

Isn't that just about Corvette weight?

[pacecarta]

found a pair of kirkey pros at the swapmeet
power driver seat..45lbs .. kirkey w/cover and mounting ...17lbs
