Yeah i could have put the lines on wrong. When i hooked them up i thought it was a bit weird as one is longer than the other and I had to stretch one to get it on and the other onen has plenty of slack so could be wrong way around.

sounds like you have, hope all goes well for you

First time I have looked at this build, bloody good job matey.

I agree with you about getting OLD too, I felt terrible when I was putting the new brakes on my car, had forgotten how cold and hard concrete floors were on the poor OLD body. :D

Well i have fuel injector pulse so next thing to check is if I have spark.
Papa yes its a drag getting old I was out in the shed checking for pulse it was 1 degree in the shed hence why I am doing one thing at a time. Have you had the joy of not being able to see whay you are doing can't focus up close etc.

Cheers

hello ive been watching your build and some others im planning on doing a dohc turbo conversion on my el xr6 and was just wonder if the wiring was a hard job? and on other builds people changed the engine mounts but on yours you didn't you just cut the front of the sump was there anything else to change to fit the engine in? just don't want to have to fiddle around and mess around with everything.

Yes, I wear glasses. I have 2 pair, one for close ups and the other for everything else. I have diabetes too and that can play havoc also with your vision. :(

Hi

Yes wiring was a big job and if you have read the thread lately you will have noticed I am sytill working on it for some reason I don't have power at the coils more work to do. I cut the sump because I did not want to cut the crossmember. If you cut the crossmember it would make it very hard to get it engineered.

Papa yes its a drag getting old yeah i have two pairs as well but sometimes if you need that special; focal length AAAHHH diabetes for me too great isn't it.
