so
got her all together.....everything. started up, NO LEAKS!!!! i also didnt feel comfortable not having a overflow for it as well, so i was able to cobble a couple of brass fittings and tied it into the rad overflow as well. was worried if it didnt have one in it, it would have found its weakest point at a moment that wasnt exactly convent to me either (like 1am a hour from home more then likely). i also did as everyone said on how to PROPERLY route the PVC as well. had it idling in total for about 30 mins., longest time 10 mins. i think i have all the air out of both innercooler and rad now as well. will check it in the morning.
was also able to kick the dust off the laptop and fire a datalog to don. thats when it happen. he told me both banks are way out. number 2 looked fine, but number one looked like one cylinder wasnt firing. when he told me that, i thought back to when i pulled everything apart. number 4 looked like it inhaled oil from when it was gulping oil into the blower. dumb me never checked the plugs out, and i think it may have fowled one or more plugs.
i was also telling don that this thing almost seemed like it wanted to suck another 100 bucks out of me at any cost. first one, the valve cover gaskets. bought new felpros today. $75. after getting home found some old ones that i think i had on the 302 that i saved for some reason, so the new ones can go back. second hit was the laptop. havent ran it for years and was doing funny things. i worked threw them as well and wont need a new one thank god because thats all i used it for is logging. lastly one reason why i didnt change plugs was i figured they were only 2 years old with low mileage on them. even though i thought one might be fowled, i figured i would come back to life. datalog says otherwise. i had 2 packs of plugs, but could only find one, which ment that i would have to buy four of them tomorrow. after looking around my shed, i found the other pack.
take that evil......just dont find new ideas tomorrow.
i almost forgot what this thing looked like all together.
so much for being inconspicuous about the innercooler lol.
however, after all the stuff i added and changed, i found my one little booboo
stupid fog light bucket! its resting right up against the hose. this is another reason why i went to stainless vs. rubber hose. hopefully they will get along and not battle to the death. i really dont want to cut the bucket off for that light, because if i do, that means both have to go.
oh, also for what ever reason, the headlights wont fire!!!! the only thing i did to them was unplug them when i took the header panel off, and i have power going to the ballasts, and even changing them out did nothing. oh well, i would have to say with those problems, if thats all i have with as much stuff that i changed, i would say i am doing more then good.
