Ignored my wife's advances, and built a start-up tune instead. Is that dedication to the cause enough for you, Sir?!
That's because for most of us it's the other way around...the wives ignores our advances!
Another day, another wire. And another. And another. And another.
But, then there were NO MORE MUTHA FUGGIN WIRES!
That's right boys, no more wires needed to make this thing run. Still have a few things I want to play with, like a TCC switch/controller. I spent the day tracing back all of the stock G-body wiring and tying it into the late-model stuff. Things like the TCC, SES light, OBD II, etc. But, it is all in and working - fan, fuel pump, O2s, all of it. I've licensed the ECM (was from an '01 Silverado 1500 with a 5.3) and flashed the new 2 Bar tune - this thing is ready to rock.
I did steal the nut off the factory alternator and put it on this LS unit, I was amazed to see they shared the same threads. I just have a few mechanical things to do still before firing it up, but damn are we close fellas.
