Well, got the cooling system finished, just have to add coolant and watch it all leak out now. LOL :doh:

Also stripped out the OEM Ranger fuse box and underhood wiring. Rewired the harness, and cleaned it up. Still not done yet, but close.

And got all 8 EGT probes for the data logger today. Thanks Dennis Perry.

those go in place of glos? can they function as a glo also or just temp?

 

[Dalpilot]

No they are tapped into the exhaust manifold at all 8 cylinders. Just temperature probes.

OK, finished off the Cooling system, and filled it with anti-freeze. Filled the transmission with Royal Purple ATF fluid. Changed out and re-bled the brake lines with a proportioning valve and brake light switch. Ran nitrous lines up to the engine bay. Second Nitrous bottle will be at my house today, (I will not be there though), Have the Painless wiring kit ready to install for the lights and gauges, and ignition circuits. Gene is making me a mount for my alternator to mount where the AC used to be. I have a weak starter, but have another on my workbench waiting for me. Basically if I were home, and if I had my FICM back from Doug, I would be driving it this weekend.

Did I see a manual brake master cylinder? Man, oh man, are you gonna be pushing hard on that pedal.

 

[Dalpilot]

Yes you did. Only have to stop once. LOL

I'm sure you've seen this...

You should come out to the flats and see what you can do.

 

[Dalpilot]

Yeah that is Max Lagod's ride. He owns Hypermax. Good guy. I spent some time on the phone with him and the Spal guys. He's gonna go after the record again this year. I would be RPM limited at the flats. Have to change a whole bunch.

 

[Dalpilot]

Picked up a new intake manifold today, that flowed 55% more air over stock on a flow bench. SWEET!
