Stolen Parts
#11
Well it starts but I have a hell of a coolant leak @ the waterneck so if it isnt raining tomorrow I will fix the leak and time it and see where it stands.Robert helped me all day today and when it wouldnt start as the TB was dry as a bone even after I relocated the FP we were scratching our heads and looking for answers.After putting 6 gallons of fuel in my "full tank" it finally fired up and started the water spray insted of the drip so I stopped there for the night. There are lots fewer wires in the Howell EFI setup and it makes for a cleaner install but now I have to buy a Chevy code scanner.I wouldnt want to have to pay full price for this kit though as I guess I was lucky getting the deal I got.

I'm just glad that you got it to start ... getting it to run smooth shouldn't be a problem. We'll fill it up with gas and run it around town with a spare gas tank in the back before Uhwarrie to see where it's true "empty" is. I don't know why it's not sucking from the bottom of the tank though Confusedcratchhe:

Hopefully weather will be good next weekend and we'll be cruising it around Uhwarrie :rebel:

Glad to see it's coming together. I'm still waiting on one seal to arrive for my tranny so I can get that project finished up. It's a ten minute fix, that is taking several days waiting on the delivery man to bring me my junk. But I'll definitely be there.

It is alive for good today thanks to some detective work by Robert scowering old Howell EFI posts online.There was one wire hooked up to the wrong side of the coil causing lots of issues and it was solved by a call to Howell and 2 min of work.Smile I then I found another water leak after I let the motor run through several heat cycles to burn the Ceramic headder paint in and it was a PITA to fix as the backing plate for the WP spit its brand new gasket out and Advance didnt have one as it only called for 1 for every EB pump ever made.The parts guy did locate the proper gasket and I got it @ Autozone but The gasket is a specific fit for a 69 Bronco and this motor came out of a 77 so WTF.Now if I can get the PS pump swapped out tomorrow then bled I will be good to go.The pump will not bleed the air out and is leaking like a old row boat so it has to go.I never had a problen with the PS pump on the Stang serp setup @ all.

I got the PS pump swapped out last night and I finished up the 2 piece Aluminum glovebox to mount my computer and the fuse holder and Diag port.Also shot some semigloss black on that ugly blue hood tonight.I only have a small leak that is pissing me off as I added a bottle of Bars stop leak and ran it for a hr to see if it would quit but it didnt.I have to drive it tomorrow again so the computer learns the A/F ratio and drops the idle a little.It is going on the trailer tomorrow nightSmile

That glove box is awesome... black hood looks a whole lot better now than blue. I'll bring a cooler of ice over tonight to pack the coolers and help load the bronco.
