Dan Juday Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Very cool Don! I see you got that thermostat installed properly. And I love your alternator pressure guage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 "Freshened up?!?" It looks as if you totally rebuilt the engine with new components! Was the plenum black when we saw it last at Rio Vista? BTW, I didn't ever thank you for letting me drive your car...THANK YOU! Best 11 sec car I ever drove. So smooth you'd never know it was as fast as it was. Even better that we had slowed down just before the police passed us... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanzo57 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 And I love your alternator pressure guage. I just hope it clears the shock tower! Your welcome, Davy. That was a close call. The only things new on the outside are the oil pan and a polished aluminum timing cover, and I did paint the plenum. I hope I don't have any oil leaks this time around.

Drax240z Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 So what do you guys run for alternator pressure anyway? I try to keep mine right around 14.7psi most times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-REX Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 i've found that if i boost the alternator up to around 25psi the wipers actually clean the window, the a/c fan keeps the car like a meat cooler, and my stereo could make a man deaf. but you need to run fully synthetic alternator fluid or the bearings will seize.
