Re: My 86 build
more wiring!....got the tranny cooler wired up with the t-start and relay, fuel pump wired up and working, oil pressure sending unit wired up...I still have a few more things to wire up like the brake switch and neutral safety switch, also the radiator fans as soon as I get the front ned back on...hopefully the tranny fittings will show this week so I can finnish the cooler lines and add some fluid...I had the motor cranking over and getting very excited to hear this thing run....

Re: My 86 build
here's a pic just after I shut it off!....yeah it runs!!...so effin excited!.....I just primed the pump and was checking for leaks, and hit the key just to "see", and it fired right up and idled away....still need to get a MAF, and I'm waiting on the water pump...but I'll get the front end back on, and drop the rad in, and wire the fans up, and hopefully run it some more to get the bugs out....
