P0202 injector circuit, p0300, knock sensor back side, both right wheel bearings and a flat tire code.

Im no expert on waveforms, but I don't think that big erratic spike on that injector is ideal.

Oh I fucked it right up but I planned on replacing it anyway. Wires broke pretty close to it but I got it to make somewhat of a connection for a second just by wiggling it. I don't have any ev1 connectors around tho so it'll have to wait and see if I can find one tomorrow in town

I have at least 3 SC balancers. Want a l32 with a bad piston to play with?
I mean if you really wanna get rid of it but I've got three l36s in the corner and I think i pulled the one I slapped a piston in in time to save it since the bearings all still feel good.

You got a somewhat modest pulley laying around? I've got some 60# injectors I may as well throw in it while I'm at it

All of my pulleys are smooth flow mps systems, so you'd have to buy a hub. I think I have some bigger ones. Maybe a 3.6 or 3.4.

I think with where I'm at on it I can probably justify buying a hub :rofl: 3.6 or 3.4 is probably about right unless I throw a bunch of stuff at it? I figure throw some e85 in it and keep timing reasonable, might as well put the 1.9s in it while I've got it apart and see how the trans takes it all

Just substitute a pair of metropack 280 terminals... fill it with RTV and shove them on the tabs, let cure.

Oh I mean it kind of seems like something you would do kind of sort of definitely
Not on somethin that I want to work right but somethin I just had to get moving definitely 😂

I'm definitely already tryin to talk myself out of pulling the pulley off with a 3 jaw after seeing what zzp wants for their stupid puller

Glad I poked around on the wiring before I pulled the intake off of it Car runs perfect now for less than what it costs to eat lunch and the check engine lights off too. Fires right off and purrs and just floats down my shitty dirt road.

I think I'm gonna keep it since I already started making plans so I'm gonna get a set of wheel adapters to use a nice new set of black 17s I've been sitting on forever and figure out what I've got laying around for tires that'll fit, knock a cheap eBay screen in the dash and get the windows tinted, maybe even subs later fuck it.

Now I just need to get it to the lift at work and check out the wheel bearing codes and take a look underneath it

I've had a set of these 17 inch wheels brand new laying around for probably at least 5 years in a screwed up 5x100 bolt pattern, Im never gonna find another home for them without getting absolutely shafted so I ordered adapters to make them fit this car. I'll do them right and check them for proper torque to try and avoid problems but it's cool to finally have somethin to throw them on.

Also gives me an excuse to put the 275s on the back of the Camaro so I can take the 235 50s on it for the front of this car and then I think I have some 215 55s in my pile that'll be fine for the rear and still keep me at the right height.

Probably get with my tint guy soon as well. Just those two things shoulde asthetically help this thing out a lot.

had a few decent offers on the car as it sits but for as good as it runs and what I've got in it I think it's gonna be around for a while.

Windshield and tint are set up for whenever my guy gets time to do it or probably more likely when I get around to taking it up to him. Between that and the other stuff I've got coming for it I've basically doubled what I've got into the car. Still less than half of what I can get out of it though so I'm feeling pretty good about it and I'm pretty excited to see it start coming together.

Never really thought I'd be into playin with an old grandpa car but here I am doin it anyway 😂

Let it sit out in the cold the last few days but I need to move it tomorrow so I figured I'd give it a spin and see if I needed to break out the jump pack. I'm pretty shocked the keyless entry and seat heater even work. I don't know what it is about this thing but i can't wait to start doin somethin with it.

I do have another 67mm and 60 lb injectors...probably be just as easy to booger a t4 flange in the crossover and stick some elbows together as it would be to tear all this shit off and put it back together. 10 psi some corn and shove it right into the intake would probably be enough to make some glitter in the trans.
