got done soldering all the new wires and routing them through the core support, what a pain but it looks just as good as before but should function alot better. got it powered up last night for the first time, check engine light came on then went out when voltage hit 12.5v (normal) so all is looking good so far. wish i could throw up some pics but still dont have the camera back. more updates soon.

well, im an ass. ive been tuning (chasing) a random bucking issue for weeks now, couldnt figure it out, idle was -21.4 hg vacuum so i ruled out a vacuum leak. but this morning i went out to drive the car to work and the hood was up so i went to close it, looked down at a vacuum cap thats been on there for months, pulled it off, and it was split down the side. it must be enough to hold vac @ idle, but as soon as im on the throttle. it must open up, so i temporarily cut a hose stuffed a bolt in one end slid it on there and drove to work. the lil bastard drove like a damn champ, almost brought a tear to my eye :heart:

edit, ill probably be able to tune it worth a damn now! :laughing:
