Took the first couple of short rides yesterday and today. Got "sick" yesterday afternoon so I could go home and work on it. Little things are still popping up to fix like my water temp gauge which was going almost to the peg in the hot zone but it wasn’t boiling over. Checking various places with the heat gun showed seemed normal. Thought it might be the sending unit since the one I installed fit the intake (PI) but wasn’t the one which came with the kit. Yup, that was it. Now the water temp never goes over about 87c which the temp gun verifies. Didn’t have a good place to put the
oil temp sender until today. So I drilled out the center of the OP drain plug and tapped it for the
oil temp sender and now it works great to. That was kind of touchy to do with just a drill press, as there’s not much left of the drain plug after drilling enough out for the 1/8 NPT sender. Also found that I’d forgotten to bolt the driveshaft safety hoop in place. That was a nice racket! I thought I’d dropped something out of the car substantial.
Now to track down why I have no speedo or fuel level..........................
