BUILD THREAD Project long time coming

Have used that exact same crimper for years. Yes it works perfectly 👌

Finished engine bay wiring tonight. Alternator, injector grounds on back of heads, installed the rest of inner fender bolts. Need to grab some Adel clamps to keep the wiring tidy and supported. Have to secure the wiring down to the oxygen sensor so it doesn't burn on the header, along with the crank sensor wiring. I'm thinking another Adel clamp and use a bellhousing to block bolt. Second radiator should be here tomorrow... hopefully this one isn't damaged during shipping. Then run the main battery cable to the trunk, along with the ecm power wires.
Only other things are the exhaust, bleed the clutch again, and patch the hole in the transmission tunnel. I do need to hook up the reverse light switch but that can come later.

And a gratuitous pic, just cause. Haha. Oh, and spark plugs and wires still need to be done but I was planning on doing those dead last.

Yep, sounds about right! 🤣

Contact... only had one hiccup. I wired the fuel pump relay as though the Terminator was outputting a ground, when it actually outputs a 12v positive. Easy fix. Tomorrow I start on getting the exhaust connected.

It is strange that everything else is switched grounds. Except for that
Lol 😆

Yeah that's what messed me up. I focused on the fan outputs and then did the same for the fuel pump. Glad I didn't burn it up. 😅

It is somewhat odd. I have one pump relay powered by 12v+ and the other by 12v-.

Great to hear it running. Is the clutch working?

Didn't even try yet. I KNOW I have to bleed it more. It's running pig rich at the moment. Hasn't even made it to 160° yet. Going to try to download a tune tomorrow to help. Next step is the exhaust. Not looking forward to laying on my back for a week like a cheap corner hooker 🤣

Don't get crazy tuning it until you get it to 175+.

Do you know how to adjust the closed loop to correct the rich/lean conditions?

Have you been able to get a laptop hooked to it?
