i figured, but didn't want to assume. You know how that word changes if you are wrong Laughing

I'm looping the tank to itself with a T and am getting read for fresh line to the back of the car. The engine is almost converted from its FI config to carb. I still have a pile of sheet metal issues, but being able to drive it around the yard/driveway would be most useful during the wet season.

Alright... looks like all the wiring is actually where it belongs in the 72 Notch, but needs reconnected to the fuse block. I wonder if it was dropped to deal with the FI stuff?

Beige is currently on the battery charger. I'm hoping to get enough juice just to check to see if the lights/wipers/ignition works. If so, I will be transfering the engine from the blue bomb soon. I'm hoping that it will be as simple as swapping in the engine, bleeding the brakes, putting on some lenses and cleaning the interior. We will see.

If so, that was something that Tram was doing, as that car was still carbed back in 2007 when I looked at it. Cool

Let's hope so. You need a good reliable daily driver, that works. Wink

That car never had FI. It was carb'd from the factory.

Yep. See the stamped blanking plate in the trunk where the ECU would have mounted if it were an FI car?

And amongst all the stuff I took to Tram, he has the ECU and cover that came out of the car that Bob got.

Fye is not dedicated to the FI. He is dedicated to the dual Satans.

That's the plan! Evidence of life will be enough to move forward during spring break.
