Haven't updated in a minute.
Good news, water pump fixed cooling issues, holds a good temp now. - Im not loving the fan thermostat kicks on, seems to be way too early. 190F~ ON 175~ off. So basically it never turns off once its running, but thats de-prioritized at the moment
I evicted the cold start injector sensor used this adapter from autometer to install my coolant 1/8 sensor
Put the headliner in and some other interior bits (Flocked dash looks pretty good). - The non sunroof headliner poses some challenges with the dome light as it is in a different spot, going to make a bracket to have to mount it.
Have i mentioned whoever worked on this car before me was some kind of animal?
Fixed the VSS (chopped the wires clean off.)
Mirror harness (chopped wires clean off.)
Mirrors are SO red compared to the burgundy looks worse than the old ones, but they are in much better shape. Gotta hold for future paint
So with being confident the car is not overheating i drove it around the block, some notes:
- Car is very unhappy when i get into boost, stumbles and falls on its face... I haven't set the distributor spark timing yet, so i need to do that soon... It could also be that my fuel pump is relayed and not using the stock wiring? Uses resistance pack? It goes full peg rich with load (boost)
- Polyurethane engine and trans mounts (specifically the sides) from BRD and i regret it.
Waytoo much NVH, going to have to swap those out for stock.
- Power steering pump still not hooked up (Avoiding because its a nightmare)
- Some horrendous clunk in the drivers side under steering with load. Something suspension, gotta be axle ,control arm balljoint tie rod end...
