Ah. I'm afraid I'm not even that ambitious. Actually, I've been running one alternator unprotected, and the 175A megafuse on the Vic probably isn't going to do much if the 95A alternator shorts out!

I love these auctions. 9 dollar fuse holder and 35 dollars to ship it. I don't think so.
The only ones I can get for under 30 bucks are without covers. Damn and blast. I guess I could get one of the cheap ones and make a cover of some variety as long as it isn't metal..Last edited by 1990LTD; 10-15-2010, 11:23 PM.sigpic

3" stainless steel cherry bomb tips.
I noticed a bit of oil in my throttle body today. Must be coming from the filler neck PCV hose 'cause that's the only thing that gets in my TB besides filtered air. The system is original as far as I know, I've got the parts to replace it all (PCV valve, grommet, screen) but I can't do it with the manifold on. It'll all come together later this week I believe.sigpic

both in and out of the car, it sounds a lot better. when i first got my exhaust done the tailpipes just got bent into turndowns, not enough bumper clearance and looked like shit. for a couple of months i've been running no tips or turndowns of any kind, just shooting exhaust straight out under the car. sounded like ass in the cabin....now it's super quiet. a bit more bassy standing behind the car but i could be imagining it.sigpic

i have a garage to work in and free time tomorrow, a friend is going to let me use his and we're gonna put the ho upper intake on.
hm...I was going to save the cam/ecu/injector swap for sometime over the winter but since the car is going to be parked next year and quasi-restored, I'll just build an engine with a better intake and heads. Putting it together outside of the car and then just dropping the whole thing (probably with a better AOD than the stocker just to be on the safe side) in would be much easier and I'll end up with a better motor.
gt40 time? what motor should i start with? it'll probably have everything replaced with aftermarket eventually but something solid to start with is necessary.
throw ideas around! it's going to stay fuel injected and 302wLast edited by 1990LTD; 10-25-2010, 12:38 AM.sigpic
