240playtoy Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 After excessive study, profuse cussing then use of a multimeter and wiring diagram, connection of a few extra pink wires to switched power, she let loose a roar. Talk about putting a smile on my face. Lessons learned to date: 1. Getting sand out of engines blows. 2. My engine doesn't post oil pressure until it starts. 3. If it's pink, give it power 4. Several others I've forgotten already Thanks for the help and the forum. Good luck to all those who are still trying, and also to my sucker roomie who's putting a crate 350 into his 280z. I've now taken the lpassed him on the road to grins, smiles and squalling tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
