I have the Restomod air slim bulkhead. And fragola nylon braid AN lines with an to oring adapters.

I've remade the hose and still leaking on the inside. Will pull it off again. Replace oring again and try again before I pull the pass through to see if it's cracked.

Digital guard dawg and yes.

Biggest problem is using a factory replacement harness and the push button with so much other stuff that is different (fuse box placement, etc) made the wiring incredibly tedious.

At times I wish I had just made my own custom harness.

Huge day today.

Got a lot going this weekend. Yesterday a friend came over and we fixed a coolant leak and got the car running more consistently.

Today another friend (Big Bronco) showed and we filled diff with fluid and mounted reservoirs.


We then bled the brakes and got it off the stands. Surprised no leaks from this so far. Was expecting a lot.


Looks badass back on the ground. Sadly will have to come up a bit as the tires rub.




After that we got it out of the garage so the car could get some fresh air and see how it sounded out of the garage. Sounds awesome. (Giving my best "not bad" Obama face. Not intentional, Big Bronco snapped thag from the vid.

Still working on idle, that's about 1100 in the video. Want to get it to around 950-1000, not sure i'll get much less than that with the injectors/etc it has.

Also I have to get the cooling system bled. It cant seem to get itself regulated on temperature (90 deg day, sitting idle, it gets to 190-200 in a matter of 4-5 minutes). I think that's all part of just needed to bleed the system. No doubt the autoRad and twin fans running 90% should get it to stabilize at 190.

One interesting thing that's going on, is the clutch fully to the floor, the car wont go in gear while stopped. If i let the pedal come up slightly, it goes right in gear. No grinding, pedal feel is good, just doesn't like it when pedal is on the floor.
