Well that's one way to get that evil electronic witchcraft out of your engine , some of the work looks OK, other parts scream WTF? _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here

I just painted a pulley black a few days ago. Now I want to paint it gold, just for fun. _________________ nothing

For a real thrill, do it while the engine is running.
BTW, weren’t there factory pulleys that were yellow zinc that looked like gold? _________________ Jack Staggs

Posting a “how to” video would be good for aspiring hacks
PS: the upper pulley could be done while it’s still running _________________ Jack Staggs

Do I get to practice first, or just jump right in? The other issue is, I have absolutely zero knowledge of how to post a video. Maybe I'll ask my kid, or her friends. _________________ nothing |

I've always enjoyed seeing carburetors adapted to engines they weren't made for.
Pretty clean adaptor work too! _________________ Two Bugs-
