Stainless can be a PITA to flare, but I read where annealing helps Maybe, you could ask first what size nuts come with the part frame and rearend are looking good on your project

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thought I'd throw this little tidbit out there.
When sawing with my bandsaw, I heard a thump, thump, thought I broke some teeth, looked at the blade, and there was a build up of aluminum in the kerf. Talking to the manufactor, he had asked what lube I was using, I said none. Told me that was the problem, so now I spray the blade and problem is gone  [url=https://flic.kr/p/Jt7CQ2]20180112_123109smells like grapes

Re: PO has me PO'd
These are the two new harness, that I had to replace, they are for the LS series engines, but I have 350ci SBC
The original harness was set up for a crank trigger, so no go. Speaking to Jim at TPIS he's advised me that the new harness's will be an easier hook up. just repin for the firing order, and a step up voltage resistor. Also repin crank and cam sensors The first harness shows the connecters that go to the crank and cam sensors  [url=https://flic.kr/p/22kxwKe]20180122_180308[url=https://flic.kr/p/23yTVSN]20180119_161857

Re: PO has me PO'd
 [url=https://flic.kr/p/23UxGyo]20180131_100335I wanted to mount the isolation blocks towards the edges of the aluminum mount, but they were to short. So, I settled for one block in the middle, countersunk and full thread, using my handi-dandi counter sink tool, that has been laying in my toolbox for thirty years, cool, the way you can adjust it for depth  [url=https://flic.kr/p/K1Hq8n]20180131_163532While I was sitting there, admiring my success of the week, poofff, my florescent light above my engine bay blows out. Now, we've all dropped one and know the out come. Carefully, undoing the bulb, it slips momentarily, and clanks the motor, no explosion, great! Bring the whole unit down to change out the other bulb. Put it in, and rehang unit, that is now working, it slips out of my hand, and the whole unit crashes into my motor. I'm stunned, as there is no explosion with shards of glass all over my engine compartment as well as some obnoxious gas we are not to breathe. I packed up and ended my day as I was sure I've extended my luck Now, I can move on to the XIM box, and mount it with isolaters I got from Mcmaster-Carr

Re: PO has me PO'd
changed my mind again, and decided to stack my computers, I think this could be the last change, as I have to get on with the wiring
Mcmasters-Carr sent some U channel to be used to mount the top computer  [url=https://flic.kr/p/HjFqnS]20180324_16022

Re: PO has me PO'd
upside down, backwards,inverted, and inside out....redundant
If you design something, make sure it is easy to work on....had to add two access holes to allow use of allen wrench for tightening of mounting bolts on XFI XIM mounts on top of C channel  [url=https://flic.kr/p/238CZBu]20180406_114555

What color green is that?
Is that a factory color or aftermarket? Scott |

Re: PO has me PO'd
My perferred method of drilling holes....center punch, or transfer punch, center drill, lubrication, and then drill size.

Re: PO has me PO'd
I had seen that color before just not with the metal flake.
I will look it up. I like it. I had picked a dark jade green metallic but I like that color a little more. Scott Quote:

Re: PO has me PO'd
I found it in an old sampling color chart. In the color chart the flake does not show up as much as in the floor board pics of this thread's blazer.
It looked somewhat aftermarket not factory. Just caught my eye. Did not mean to get the topic off track. LOL Scott |
