Progress Thread Snow - 93 GT Vert. Prepping for sale

[JAA]

Only item left I believe is the ground. Im not sure where the other end of that is. I guess I can chase it, but Im pretty sure it was to the lower intake. I guess I could just bolt it to the GT40 heads?

Braided ground line..

The braided ground line that attaches to the firewall (have a new one ready to go on) but does it bolt under the rear lower intake bolt on the drivers side? I know there is a ground in the harness that gets attached to the drivers side rear head (guess it doesn't matter which hole right a long...

That is the ground for the O2 sensors. I believe it was attached to the back of the passenger head. I have mine on a bell housing bolt as I did not want it on an aluminum head.

Belt and ground done

Gonna fill the radiator and PS pump. Then I think it’s start time.

What am I forgetting?

I havnt wired the temp probe for the fan. Gonna wait till I know the car starts. Once things seem OK I’ll fit all that wiring and remaining lines proper. I’m of course speculating that the vehicle can run 5-10 min before the thermostat even opens.

I cannot remember if you completely removed the power steering pump but if you did you will want to hand prime it before you fire the car up.

Priming the PS - I def have a leak below. It seems to be coming out where the tube meets the first nut.

I’m inclined to continue to start it up and see how it goes before fixing this leak.

That's the high side so it will spray fluid all over the place. Usually its the o-ring that is bad when it leaks there.

Good thread on the o-ring ordeal. Read all the way to the end as my guess is you have the Type II and can replace the o-ring.

Quick update: LMR replied to my email, not addressing the leaking hose at all and just saying: "That rack will use any of the hoses since the main difference is the length between the years and with or without AC. The fitting where it going into the rack is going to be the same on each hose" I...

I tried a Danco #6 oring, didnt seent to help at all.

This leak has been there since I replaced the PS pump a while back. Im going to start the vehicle to test things out. Then I will need to decide whether or not to go back to the old pump or replace to the new line (which I have but never installed, didnt know I needed to).

Second pass

Those videos coming through?

Turns over, wont fire. Somewhat of a backfire out the exhaust, makes me think there is spark, but maybe no fuel pressure?

Videos work... Didn't hear much of a backfire, sounded like timing way of to me one or two miss fires not on the compression stroke in the second video

Thanks

I need to go socialize with the family. Unlikely will be able to get more of it done today.

Next up - timing videos! Unfortunate as I felt like I got the distributor in perfect. Lol

I’m assuming it’s not a problem to start with the front raised like a foot?
