Just Another Rebuild

[JustAnotherVictim]

Ok back on topic. lol

Jeff from Jaws Gears let me borrow a sensor from his extra tranny so I could get my car running for the time being.
So I'm gonna search around for a few days and see if I can source one locally. If I can't I'm gonna order a new one and swap the sensors back out.
Now waiting for some hoses and I'm gonna finish hooking up the IC piping.
My friend Eric gave me a dual fan shroud so I'm gonna pop that in along with the modded dual fans I wired up.

Black guys don't smile when they take pictures, i say ced's just wearing makeup.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

There's a bylaw in the negro code book that say it's not smiling when you don't show teeth.
Plus flipping off the camera allows you to make any face you please.

Just took care of miscellaneous things on the car, everything's almost ready to go.

LOL funny

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Everything is ready to go but I have no electrical power.
Going to double check all my grounds but I'm pretty sure they're all hooked up.

I tried the manual start switch and it cranks the car but I have no ignition power. No lights or anything else that I can tell.
I was looking for a fuseable link but I don't seem to have one.

 

[buckshotglass]

Your car is waiting for mine. Sounds reasonable to me.

But you should have 100 AMP ALT fuse in its place. Check that if you are not getting ignition power....

I had a lead going to a ground. Swapped and the car started right up.
I shall detail my boosted adventure tomorrow. lol

Buck my car waits for no man.

Ths is what happens when you don't tighten the hose clamps....stop acting like Boris... lol
:biglaugh:

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I don't know what you mean. :biglaugh: It ended up not being a hose clamp.

It's leaking from below the lower timing cover. The leak is so small it's stupid.
So it's getting ripped apart again and resealed.

Looks like I may have to pull the engine again because the head will have to come off along with the oil pan from the looks of things.

So that's what my week is looking like. :dunno:
I'm actually still kinda happy because everything else worked correctly so I did something right. Just would have been nice if the leak had shown up else where.

 

[mk3forme]

whats leaking? oil?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Yessir but maybe not anymore. Ian gave me a suggestion which I will share in pictures later.

 

[mk3forme]

please do. You never know if I might have the same leak when I start my motor up for the first time.
