Default Prepping for Dr EFI (( 01-27-23 ))

Custom Funnel for Lokar Trans Dip Stick.



Cam Specs for Andrew Dr EFI



Injector Specs



Plugged everything back in and checked to see of the Handheld connected with the ECU.



I also moved the Holley ECU ground to the battery shut off post.



Last minute change up. I really didn't like the top post terminals so I quickly next day air with Amazon a set of Marine top post
terminals. These actually grip the battery post like they should.

I completely disconnected the Holley ECU.





I also cleaned out the car to make sure there was nothing in the car that wasn't needed. Low and behold I found the pedal bracket
that I ordered over a year ago. It's funny because I told Dave a Screaming Chicken the best way to find lost parts is to order a new
one. Unfortunately I was correct as I found it before I opened the box.



I put the rear view mirror with my bike stuff.



Since I am running a 4l60e I will not be using this wire.

Default 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.

Default Home from Dinner and we have an Oil Leak !!! (( 01-28-23 ))

Yep, We have an oil leak.



Thankfully I picked up the Earls "O-Ring" version a couple weeks ago.



This time I added the PFT tape before it leaked.





Looks like I have a second leak as the Oil Pressure switch at the back on the block is leaking and most likely the culprit.

Default Oil Pressure Switch is still leaking (( 01-29-23 ))

Happy Sunday Morning,

It's Sunday and I am feeling good.

Today I am going to change up my top post battery wires for the last time.



I move the ground wire that was on the top post to the side post so all the grounds are killed when I twist the switch on the battery.



I will eventually clean the wires up in the inner fender.



Something is missing.



All better





I sent Andrew a text of how nice it was running and he called me and said let's finish this thing and so here we go.

I told he we still have and oil leak so I am going back to fix it with PFT tape instead of the paste.

Default It's Sunday Morning and I am going to go start the car (( 01-29-23 ))

It's Sunday Morning and I have one goal and that is to here the car running and running correctly.

Fixed and now I am finally going to start it and hopefully it sounds better.






Time to call Andrew and give him the good news.

I thought it was because you still had the injector wires over the fuel rails instead of under...

Default Couple more small leaks (( 01-29-23 ))

Couple more small leaks.

Nothing major just needs to be tightened



Since I missed the PFT tape everywhere else I decided we needed to look at the fitting under the manifold.



Since the intake tube needs to be bead blasted and anodized black it was no big deal removing it.



Nothing to see here as it looks like I remember to do these.



Noah was supervising Mike & I



More reminder notes







At some point I will remove this fitting and put some tape on it.



That's all folks
