Since you have a 400 block, make sure that you have the correct cooling passage holes in your head gaskets and heads,and make very sure that the cooling system has been well 'burped' to get all of the air out. Tim

ROTFLMAO Tim

Not a website, but best suggestion I can make is to get the book "Maximum Boost"......everything you could possibly want to know!! Tim

I can post the PCM pinout numbers if you like. I would be uncomfortable trusting wire lables/colors, and would rather trace them directly to the PCM. Tim

But it's not blown! Just a tunnel ram. Tim

Guy, I wired mine thus: Fuel pump signal from PCM to fuel pump relay 'signal' tab 4 Injector wires to 15amp fuses powered by ignition source. 1 PCM constant power to 15 amp fuse to constant power. Mine is a 94 Z28 PCm, don't know if it makes a difference. Tim

LOL LOL LOL, that cat musta been stoned!! Or maybe that was the 5mph crash test, front impact Tim

Isn't it funny how the topics of posts seem to evolve into completely different subjects. It's like a microcosm of Darwinism "and now for something completely different!......." Tim

Ryan, Sorry I don't. I will have a look and see if I still have the original bag that they came in. Otherwise, go to the parts counter and explain what you need and that it's from a mercedes and maybe they can help? I'll check around this evening. Tim

Flash, Get a pair of Mercedes radiator mounts. It's a pair of studs with a rubber insulator bonded between them. That will help a lot with removing vibrations from the pump. if you can't find them let me know. I have a set that I was going to use when I was planning a carby motor with a Holley Red. I don't need them anymore...... Tim

Your LT1 PCM harness should have 4 wires that get juice with ignition power and one wire that's hot all the time. The wires are called "Injector #10, #15" or something likie that. If you have it wired thusly, the engine will shut off with the ignition turned to "off". Tim

If you really want a decent, long lasting finish, I would highly recommend taking the body down to steel. My car had at least 4 layers of paint on it. It has taken me a very very long time, but I took it to steel with a DA sander and found several spots of rust starting. Very small spots (size of say....this , and areas of linear lines of rust that kinda look like a scratch). If I didn't get rid of these, they would have effected the final finish eventually. The roof was the most difficult/time consuming part. I have my car in primer now and it's starting to look like a car again!! You'll find the effort up front, worth it in the long run. I'm sure RacerX will agree that prep work is 95% of a good paint job. The color spray is just a way to show off your prep work!!! BTW, if your bodywork isn't perfect, I'd suggest painting the car white. It's amazing how much white will hide lazy bodywork. Tim

I ran new aluminum lines from the tank, but for the connection to the fuel rails I just cut the plastic lines off the quick release couplings and used braided SS lines with hoes clamps. The female ends of the connectors to the fuel rails are ribbed so the hose clamp solution should work well. Tim

Yeah...definitely too high, you're gonna have to drop em (prices that is) Welcome aboard!!! Tim

Dave!!!! U still alive?! Tim

Quote from FSM: " The ignition coil has a built in power transistor. The signal from teh control unit is amplified by the power transistor. This amplified signal is used to connect and disconnect the ignition coil's primary current to generate high voltage across the secondary coil, and thereby create a spark in the spark plug" Tim

Same thing for the 5 Speed. Tim

Easy on the "non-Citizens"!! I am not a citizen, but a resident alien (that phrase always cracks me up, I keep expecting to look in the mirror and see green skin and antennas coming out of my head!). I understand what you're saying though. Even though i contribute SIGNIFICANTLY to the State coffers, I have no voice (no vote), which is the most frustrating part. All I can really do is lobby my wife to vote how I would like. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Tim

You're kinda on your own, but see here: http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20108&highlight= Tim

Fiberglass doesn't rust dude.

Damn, that's how it should have come from the factory. If that were the case, I would likely be driving one right now! Tim

Hey Peanut Squirrel, what is that critter doing in your avatar? It looks like it's doing 'unspeakable' things to itself!! Tim

Amen to that Brutha!! California is full of them, so much so, that I'm thinking of bailing.....tired of fighting it!!! G.Damn liberal, left wing, bleeding heart ___>>>>>!!!! Tim
