Re: PO has me PO'd
What color green is that?
Is that a factory color or aftermarket? Scott |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Yes, it is a factory color, dark olive, with a small metalic flake in it, the only part of my truck with original paint

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 |

Re: PO has me PO'd
It is a micro flake, maybe called fire mist back in the day, and appears to be gold...have to look real close to see it

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 |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Jess, all I have are vortec manifolds...if you decide to change your heads, I would be more than happy to help out. Your engine looks killer with those valve covers. GMPP have dual mounting holes for vc's

Re: PO has me PO'd
The tool to compress the tangs on the terminal is a pin pusher.
Your crimpers look to be incorrect, sadly there are many kinds. If the wires pull out of the terminal after crimping, the crimper is not the right one, or the crimp was incorrect. Sorry... Ref the pic in post #2933. The crimp of the big end (closest in the pic) is in the insulation to help hold the terminal; the next one is in the bare wire and provides the electrical connection. The crimper should roll the tangs of the terminal in a bit, not just fold them over. If the crimper has U shaped patterns and not rounded W patterns, it aint right. Also, with a less expensive crimper you may need to crimp a few times on the different spots. The next bits sticking up slightly are what hold the terminal in the connector and what the pin pusher releases to allow the terminal to be removed. It might be too late, so if you soldered, make sure to try and minimize vibration, wobbling, movement, whatever at the connection. A soldered joint is brittle and more prone to failure when stressed. A soldered joint also depends on a good mechanical connection; solder is an alloy of lead and tin, neither of which are strong. Sorry if that was TMI.

My career in industrial man. was rewarding and I enjoyed going to work every day. Ya just never knew what fire you would have to put out, on any given day, and that was the interesting part, never boring. Something broke all the time in the factories I've worked at..... Pay was great, and overtime was always there. Papermills were the most fun as everything was HUGE. Pharmicueticals not so much as everything had SOP's Gotta get my spell check working again!

Using the right crimper is also key, as you state , a "W" shape is the one to use of the correct size Information is key, to a buildthread, and I hope it helps young builders in the future, past when I have long gone

Re: PO has me PO'd
Ref: post 2896. repin connecters and terminals for FAST to EFI Connections. Connectors from FAST would not fit sensors from EFI, plus terminal locations are in a differant oreintation, with information provided by EFI and the schmatic from FAST, I was able to repin the connectors to plug in to the sensors on the cam and crank with out the jumpers from EFI Connection, SOOOO, wires go in and out the same colors
Terminal release tool goes in the little rectanguler slot at the top of the connecter. First remove white lock on connector, then you are able to remove wires and metal terminals. Don't forget to rebend locking tab up Photos to follow, flickr not working, or operater error

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Doug, but the hard part for me will be having my computer talk to the system, I have no idea how to do that! Lucky for me I've had people to talk to, Jim at TPIS and the techies at FAST, and Chris at EFI Connections, they answered all my dumb questions
Hav'nt seen anyone else on these boards using FAST, so I'm on my own, just me and my computer

Re: PO has me PO'd
Just picked this up from E-bay for 25.00 or 30.00. Thanks to the heads up from long standing member John H. Great forum when guys look out for one another
[url=https://flic.kr/p/27u8n1e]20180524_121406 This thing looks brand new, date on box says 1995, so I hope it's not for a newer truck, guess I'll have to wait and see
