It's about to Get Real...We Have Gas !!! (( 01-28-23 ))
Well, things are finally feeling real as I am pouring gas into the car for the first time in almost three years.
I also went over my start up check list and oddly enough I missed a few more things.
Somehow, I missed a few things and of course one of the most important things.
Yep, I missed the PFT tape on the NPT fitting going into the tank and thankfully Dan was over and he noticed all of the fuel on the ground.
Problem solved.
Andrew continued running test before we fired up the car and he notice that I wired the Fan relay incorrectly.
Instead of rewiring it while we were on the phone I just snipped the trigger wire and I will just manually connect it to the battery.
Here we go first start attempt in 3 years. Well it fired right up and boy did it sound terrible.
Then we started again so Andrew could remotely diagnosis the problem. He discovered the entire left "Odd" bank was not firing correctly.
We shut it down and started looking at the coil harness as that seemed to be the issue.
As you can see from the pictures the Holley plug is at the rear of the valve cover and of course it's just plug and play. Well in this case this
case we discover the issue. What we quickly discovered was the wiring was 180 degree's off. Ugh !!! Somehow number 7 is at the front of the
motor. So we called it a day and I will be calling Wiring Specialties on Monday.
I pulled the harness out and noticed they were numbered (( DA !!!! ))
Hours later .... You know right before you are supposed to be at dinner for a good friends Birthday stupid idea's run through your head.
What if I flip the coil harness around and push some of the main harness from the inside of the car into the engine bay will it actually reach.
Yep, But it's tight.
I figured I could start the car when I got home as it's already snowing and I have a 30 minute drive to the restaurant. So I will just start it when I get home.
