Finished up the remote oil filter, aftermarket battery tray was warped when welded, made install a PITA. Keep the thread sealant off the first couple threads

Now I can install larger capacity oil filter

sure going to miss my tool tray, when I install my dual batteries. But, first I have to find and figure out the harness

Re: PO has me PO'd

I have everything done in the dash. I still need to install my roll bar, flooring and seats. I am going to line the floor first with FATMAT and then lay rubber flooring in rather than carpet. Once I am done with that, its just a few little things and then I will be ready for a test drive.

Thanks, but at the moment, it's daunting.....trying to get my computers and cam & crank sensors to talk to one another, I can't find a yellow wire. As Vic says " I hate it, when it goes in one color, and comes out another"

Welcome aboard, this is the best forum around. No BS, just a bunch of Motorheads helping each other out

front, I had no problems. Rear, they provided wrong fitting at the union, or 'T', so I had to cut flare, and replace with correct size nut

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

smells 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

I 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_163532

While 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

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

I had read somewhere that soap will stop aluminum from cloging up disk, don't know if it is working, but my work shop smells like Irish Spring
