i know mega sqirt is on whole different level but:
when i pluged my rpm window switch in my vette. even tough i had set the reading input as 8 cyl coil on pack engine it was still reading something else. I think i ended up using the 4 cyl seting to get the same readings as my car gauge.
food for tough, best of luck.

yeah, I haven't given up hope yet...It's literally the last milestone hurdle for the car...It'll get sorted..Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate it.


In the meantime....


Front brakes arrived today. It's not often that I can just order a kit for this car..I'm really thankful for moments like these. More Techno Toy Tuning goodies.

Think they will adequately stop a 2300lb car*? :thumbsup:






*Assuming the car actually runs and drives again - I realize it's definitely pretty slow in its current state.

Here's the comparison from OEM stud length to the new ARP studs. Knurl was definitely comparable. I love how long they are too.

Looks delicious.
