Thanks everybody!!  I had a great day!! But an electrical gremlin kept me down for most of it.Get out the solder!! :horse: Beat that gremlin!! Then later on it was all  :burnout:    :bigsmile:    Just one little thing after another...That's o.k. with me. It's real close. The front shocks are QA1 single adjustable,600 lb. spring. Ride is stiff but way better than the KYB's. Just started playing with it.No problems. Went out for steaks. Mmmmm, Then another cruise.    Tomarow I might drive it to the Goodguys car show about 45 min. away. The 5 speed is just the best thing ever. Back roads here I come!!    Gonna' be sweet ... too bad I gotta' sleep.  Someone pry this pistol grip out of my hand...  :smokin:
Keep at it you guys out there...  in the dirt and crap...Standing in your engine bay...with a grinder... Keep at it!

Imncarn82,


Sweet I went with the 500lbs springs in my car I may have to upgrade if it rolls too much. Did you put your adjusting knob for the shocks towards the inside of the car or to the outside?

Enjoy the show

Hey....Sorry 500 lb. springs. And they are nice. I put the adjusters to the outside...I'll spin them the next time I'm in there. I've been chasing that electrical gremlin STILL!!  No show for me Oh,well...     Next year.I need new paint anyway. So... this dang electrical thing has me  :pullinghair: :banghead:  Everytime I think I got it...It pops up again somewhere else!  I'm chasing it around from one lame connector to the next.  She's good for right now...   Out for another cruise!! :burnout: :cooldancing: :wave:

Old wiring harness/new 1 wire alternator. bad connections. Fix it.. It goes right down the line...5 mins. latr no amp guage,no charge.  Stupid stuff. Glad I didn't go...I'd have been on the side of the road for sure. I really think I got it now.Electrical bugs me.I hate it.  But I've learned more than I ever thought I would. I'm starting to understand it...slowly.     :clueless:

As my  friend from down under would say I have found most electrical problems are due to a bad “earth”, or a dirty corroded connection\ connectors.
(Did I say that correctly HemiKen?)  ;)

Good luck tracing it down and cursing that great car around.  :burnout:

Gotta' break it in.No sustained RPM's. I can do that :grinyes:   Gonna' eat....then more... :burnout: :cooldancing:
