    Wiring Issues - New swap, Need Help

    Got it running. It sure is fun reading off of 3 wiring diagrams at once... '86 svo harness converted to LA3 and placed in a '91 2.3 dis car. It idles very rough. Almost like a super crazy cam in a v-8. It shakes the whole car. Don't understand that... Any things i should check on that...

    wats up with my e brake?

    When you pull it out, be careful. that spring is under a whole lot of tension. There is hole to put a small drill bit or similar through to hold it so you can remove the cable with out it unwinding on ya.

    wats up with my e brake?

    So, if it is the hardware/cable (which I don't believe it is because I have inspected it and thoroughly greased, and anti seized all of the appropriate places.) how do you explain why when I backed the spring mechanism in the handle itself off a turn why it was fine, but tightened back up? It...

    wats up with my e brake?

    Hang on. If it was a cable related problem, why would it be too tight? You have officially lost me. I am sure it is the factory E-brake cable from 1991 with 110,000 miles on it. I would think the cable would stretch over time and get looser like everyone else seems to complain of.

    wats up with my e brake?

    Wow, I am having the same problem. It is so bad, it is causing the rear brakes to drag. I took the handle out, and unwound the spring one turn. It fixed it.... for a few days, then it tightened back up. There is no adjustment that I can find on the E-brake. I am going to put the handle from...

    2.3 road racers in here.

    For the 5.0L brakes, you will need 5.0L spindles, The brakes, Lines, and 5.0l Struts or shims for the 2.3L struts. Stinger's website has a write-up on the conversion. Go to the factory 5.0L Front and Rear sway bars for an inexpensive mod. These cars need Chassis stiffening, so if you can sneak...

    I will check for that Stinger. I'm pretty certain all of the red w/ green wires are interconnected. After I check, I will update. Thanks.

    Wiring Issues - New swap, Need Help

    I guess I deserved that... I did search, and I did follow Stinger's directions to the tee. Then re-re-re-re-re-re-checked all of the pin-outs. Then I went and got all of the wiring diagrams for both the LA3 equipped TC, and my '91 LX. And went through that and double checked. I wish I...

    Wiring Issues - New swap, Need Help

    I have been trying to do this swap for the last three months. I had the new motor in the car in a day, but the rest of the time, has been a wiring nightmare. We bought a break-out box for the EEC IV. This is a '91 dis car with a swap to a distributer Merkur motor. LA3 , Large Vam...

    Volvo FMIC / Ranger Rad

    The install of both was very simple. Now, I understand what most meant by saying to just doing it and find out. Even with just basic tools, I made brackets to hold the intercooler, and reused the factory radiator brackets to hold the Ranger Radiator. (I just flipped them from one side to another...

    need help bad

    Is it a double pulley for a/c? If so, pull out those other 4 bolts, and use a three jaw puller pushing against the loosened flywheel bolt. I swapped two yesterday, one a double pulley, and the other a single pulley. Neither were difficult with the three jaw puller. I hope it works out for...

    Thanks for the replies. I got a HD ranger radiator. It looks pretty big, but clears the intercooler. I need to get some ideas for mounting the radiator, and volvo intercooler. I have a few ideas of my own, but would like to see what others have done. Could some one please post pictures of...

    Volvo FMIC / Ranger Rad

    Let me apologize now, because I'm guessing that this is one of those questions that has been asked 1000 times... I just cant seem to find a decent answer for it. I'm going to do my motor swap as soon as I finish paint. (I cant wait!) I have a Volvo FMIC, and am looking into what radiator...

    Advantages of la3, large vam, and 35# injectors

    I should have searched harder, but I found that it is about a 25hp gain! I will be saving up for the la3 (or similar) and large vam... Since I already have the injectors. Thanks for the reply.

    Advantages of la3, large vam, and 35# injectors

    What kind of gain would you see with going from the small vam and smaller injectors to the la3, large vam, and 35# injectors? I've been thinking about getting them even before I swap the motor in July....
