Works a pain in the ass as of late - late nights, and still dealing with the clutch issue on the other car... not as easy as throwing in a competition clutch (the whole thing slid in great, done by the book, with no complications at all - except the clutch wont disengage now... needless to say there were a LOT of colourful words being thrown out there last night... last night wasn't a good one).
None the less, I tried calming down by working a bit more on the 'ho. What did I find... first, I'll be redoing the sensor location on the rad hose. I'm going to get a new pipe, and make the location at the bottom of the hose where it comes into the rad from the engine, mounting the sensor on the bottom side. I picked up another gauge just the same, and will try the new sensor. If it's still reading 142, than it's reading 142, not going to worry any more about it.
The Tach is great, works like a charm, except now it's a matter of placement, and finding a speedo that matches. If it doesn't match, than it'll just be the stock speedo with a roundel and tinted plastic put overtop to match as close as possible.
13 days until my trip back to Alberta, so I need to start kicking myself in the ass and getting it ready to head home for 3 weeks, where I do hope that the interior may just get finished finally...
As well, I've started going through the Haynes manual and rewriting a new version specific to my car. Too much has been done to try and remember it, so wiring schematics, number values, part numbers, locations, instructions on removal/inspeciton/installation of new parts need to be put down on paper. As well, it'll allow me to thin it out so that it is, like I said, specific to this car, this engine, this setup.
What more? Hmmmm... meh, that's about it. Time to go back to work.
