Great work! That's a good win to end the year with.

Thanks!





Hooked up the radiator and cooling system to see how it ran when left on for more than 10 seconds. Filled with coolant and the water pump immediately started GUSHING. Luckily I had a spare with a plastic impeller so I swapped it out so I can continue checking things while I wait for a baller stewart pump to come in the mail.

Car idles fine and revs smoothly. Starts right up and even charged the completely flat battery well enough to start in its own. Next thing to do is to pull the intake and start rerouting wiring properly, install a new temp gauge adapter for my "real" temp gauge, and also figure out what sensors I have flipped around. Install the stewart pump when it comes in along with new knock sensors, then button up the front of the car and get it down on the ground to take it up and down the street!

The budget for this has gone seriously off the rails and I don't think I can reasonably expect to afford the stuff I need for comp school in March anymore.
