      Well tomorrow I am getting lots done:

      Starter is coming off and getting bench tested. Hmm reminds me I need new bolts for the vice. Old ones are too long.

      Cleaning new injectors in my Moms ultrasonic cleaner and then spraying them out and rebuilding them with their kit.

      I am drilling some holes in my stock airbox... I need more loud.

      Fuel injector harness is getting the wires lengthened... so I have enough wire for my new WeatherPack connector.

      Im also going to the parts store to get some new vacuum and fuel lines.

        So... tonight old starter got bench tested.. didn't work! I am so happy! HOORAY

        New one is really nice, came in yesterday. Intake manifold I got back too and I cleaned up the innards a little.

        Polished the throttle body inside. Rebuilt injectors. But it is weird when I blow in either end I cant hear air coming out. Worries me...

              Holes in airbox + no hood = cold air = racecar.

                  Starter on a couple hours ago... works great. I blipped the ignition and heard the engine turn... so that is good.

                  But on the electrical connections studs, that of which are copper, I didn't factor that in and stripped atleast one of them. Grrrrr.... hopefully it will be fine. And if does fail I can just take out old studs for new ones

                    first few splices! I have to get heat shrink tomorrow then I will slip that on. Hmm. What does everyone think, they aren't "cold joints" I see no crack and when I bend/play with them they dont crack or anything

                    lol and my work station

                        18 gauge.. works real well

                        The weather pack thing works good too... I am 3/4 of the way done... the wires I spliced in were long and made it easy... the other end is a total bitch.

                        My day summed up... cut my thumb bad and worked through it

                              You have way too much solder in those joints.

                                ^ I know Jaywood. I snipped them off and redid them... much better now. Though still mediocre

                                Thumb is all good today, it is a little tender but it hasnt bled at all.

                                Hmm car WILL be running tonight my friend's and I are determined to get this damn thing done
