    Everything is great in COBRA LAND! Engine pics!!!

    Nice job on the engine! In your magazine spread I noticed that they did not include any pictures of your engine bay. Looks like they'll have to come back out for a reshoot!

    Fuel Pump Wiring Question

    I am wiring in my fuel pump and found that the yellow wire in the fuel pump harness (at the pump) provides power when the ignition is switched on. It only provides 7.88 volts (not a result of a bad ground). Does anyone know where this wire traces back to and where the step down in voltage...

    what did you wire your ignition box to?

    I ran my positive wire to the terminal on the fuse block and the negative to a starter bolt. My battery is in the trunk so I only had to run 4 feet of wire rather than 8.

    Drop In Replacement Differential? Help Needed

    The powertrax will certainly be an easy install into the 8.8 and will provide you with a great deal more traction than the Tru track unit you are currently running. When you move to a locker from a limited slip set up (Tru track is just another limited slip) you will notice a huge difference in...

    Power Steering

    I just finished reattaching my p/s pump after 6 months of down time. I took the return line off and pushed it down in the engine bay so the fluid could drain into a catch pan. I then filled the pump and spun the pulley by hand until I saw clean, fresh fluid coming out of the return. I...

    Here's an easy one! (hopefully)

    I have spent hours trying to figure this one out but tonight I made it work. The schematic shows a white/pink wire from the ignition switch to the anti theft module (I don't have that so I located the terminal under the steering column) this has a white/pink and a red/light blue wire attached...

    Here's an easy one! (hopefully)

    I figured it out. The solenoid is activated by applying power to the smaller terminal on this starter. Now I am looking for the wire in the harness that has power when the starter switch is engaged. Somewhere between the switch and the White/Pink wire that was used to activate the original...

    Here's an easy one! (hopefully)

    The small wire located at about 9 O'clock in the picture is the wire that controls the solenoid. After reading the schematic in my Haynes manual it looks like the solenoid will activate the starter motor if current is applied to this terminal. My question is... is this correct or does that...

    Here's an easy one! (hopefully)

    Is the terminal on the starter solenoid (M11000 A50) that controls the starter positively charged until the starter switch is engaged thereby triggering the starter motor or is it open waiting for a positive charge to engage the starter? I ask only because I don't have time to enroll in tech...

    Need new driveshaft, what to get?

    Even though I am running an aluminum driveshaft I never bought into the "extra salvaged horsepower derived from spinning a lighter mass" argument as it relates to driveshafts. Even if it saved you 5 extra horsepower you'd still have trouble putting it all down to the ground with the combo...

    Wiring Questions

    When Hissin 50 says "Good Luck!" you know you're in for some fun. To make matters more complicated I'm running an AOD (not AODE).

    Wiring Questions

    Thanks Mike! That's what I had in mind but I like to confirm electrical work. It's been so long since I disassembled everything that I've forgotten exactly where everything goes besides I've put in too much time on this project to see it go up in a puff of smoke! Anyone else remember where...

    Wiring Questions

    It's time to get this engine running! I am working on the wiring for my starter and my alternator. The battery has been moved to the trunk and I have removed the wiring harness on the passenger side that connects to the computer (I'm running a carbed application here). I am planning on...

    200 amp alternator wire

    Once you determine the gauge and length of your wire go down to Napa Auto parts. They'll cut the wire to length and crimp on the connectors you select. I just replaced all of my wires during the engine swap and only made one trip to the parts store.

    Engine is in! AKA Help I have clearance problems!

    Thanks guys. I too would like to know if the booster is smaller. I was able to gain clearance by laying a 1/2 inch socket extension across the booster where my problem area was and tapping it with a 5 lb hammer. It made just enough room for the engine to torque over. Hopefully I didn't...

    Engine is in! AKA Help I have clearance problems!

    No sub frame connectors yet but I imagine that I will need them once I start leaning on the engine a bit. For now I am cutting and welding the X frame to fit. Here's a pic of the valve cover after I had it clearanced for the alternator. My buddy is a whiz with aluminum so the end result was...
