It had the 91 cluster connected but the tach didn't work among other things. I start investaging more and realize non of the wires were...

    Need help with Megasquirt 331 HCI

    Well i don't know what i did but i was able to get the timing to match the car without any trigger degree. I can't for the life of me get it to idle. It surges bad. I messed with a few things in idle control and changed the Hz to a higher one and that just made it worst (a buddy with a MS said...

    Need help with Megasquirt 331 HCI

    So I'm not sure what you're asking me to do. I know the trigger offset adjust the timing to match the engine. . I"m saying the only way it matched the correct computer reading was to put a negative trigger angle which obviously isn't correct or i wouldn't get the error message. I'm tempted to...

    Nope just a regular timing light. Should i be taking the spout out when setting the timing? I've read prior that you keep it in, but my buddy swears that "follow manufacturers" means to take the spout out

    Charging Issue After Motor Swap

    So i jumped the gun with this thread. I took the alternator to two places and both said the alt is bad. Now the question is to upgrade the alt now or just get a plug a play. Both alternators are around 30 bucks at the junkyard 3G and stock. The reman at autozone or advanced are close to 100 if...

    MORE rear end noise and vibration

    Let me clarify. I DID NOT mean to say the speedometer would be OFF. MFE, no I did not eat paint chips as a kid, I did bang your Mom as kid and she was dry as *****.

    MORE rear end noise and vibration

    I ment the opposite going 60 on the speedometer(with the tires off the ground) gonna be way less (prob 30-40mph) then if the tires are on the ground because there is no weight on the vehicle and the rotational mass is way lighter.

    MORE rear end noise and vibration

    Weird issue with TFS heads

    The sparkplug should bottom out. They sell sparkplug chasers that will fix the damage threads most of the time. Just make sure the chaser is straight, using some type of lubricant and chase some then back off, then chase some more. Since your sparkplug screws in atleast a few turns I say you...

    MORE rear end noise and vibration

    Plus the speedometer will not be right with out the wheels loaded. I wanna say when the speedo reaches 30mph with the rear end off the ground is like going 50-60mph on the ground.
