This Morning 5:45am -- 20 miles west of Blythe CA -- Gensis Solar site -- 101*



Checking out my parts from the coater -- Before --



After --

More crappy welding for you to look at -- one of these days I'll invest into a foot pedal for my TIG -- priced one once and it was twice as much as what I paid for my welder LOL



Had to redo this a couple of times so that I can fit a remote oil filter next to it

[Fiatdude]

hmmmmmmmmmm



Thinking the sides need to be taller -- just mocking stuff up to see how it looks/fits -- Wife walked by and said "It's UGLY" LOL

[Fiatdude]

Been working on the car alot lately -- nothing that would show up in pictures, the fuel system is done, the oil system is done, Still sorting out the electrical and trying to make it look like something other than a birds nest

The Wife bought me a new Helmet for my birthday -- said I needed something to intimidate the opposition

I'm waferhead there, as the board didn't like my usual...

I have no interest in a foot pedal anymore, I made up 2 of these, for my Synchro and my TA 181i, I will never buy a footpedal now.
I have ~$50 in both, and 35 of that was the cable/connectors.
It zipties to torch handle, so it spins 360, slides up/down.

Looking good man. I tryed talking my brother into doing something like this(but not as extreme) to his '65 ghia and he wasnt having it. LOL

Went and got 5 gallons a fresh E85 this morning -- then fired up the Ghia for the first time this afternoon and broke in the new cam --- I think it was a little fat, looked over and my sons eyes were watering

[Fiatdude]

This car is killing me -- LOL -- Bolting in the BIG FOOT pedals and stuff and damnit the rear stop isn't right the pedals are falling forward



Call Don at Big Foot and he says that cars that have had the pans halves replaced are having this problem --something about the hole isn't in the right place on the new halves -- Geeezzz -- He says that he'll be glad to send me a different stop they are making that is 3/8" longer -- I said no thanks I'll weld something to it -- 2 Hours from starting this 15 minute job -- done



perfect!!!!!!! -- -- just finished running the throttle cable (using the stock one for now) my hands look like they have been in a knife fight all cut and bleeding -- sucks to get old -- LOL -- quick lunch break and it's out to do the intercooler..... then the seats .. ... maybe

Something just isn't right -- car is running -- very chitty, but running -- I just can't get it to tune to run decent -- -- I know I suck at the EFI tuning chit but this is really stupid



Took it for a drive -- almost couldn't get it home



OK -- is it the engine or is it the EFI -- one way to test it



OK -- engine runs fine with carb --- only two things I haven't changed, the TB and the brain -- I've got a accufab 65mm TB for a 5.0 mustang so I guess I'll throw it on, -- -- DAMN DAMN DAMN can't find a steel flange for the TB to weld onto my intake -- all of them I find are aluminum -- this is starting to suck

[Fiatdude]

[juki48]

what ECU are you using? don't see how the TB could be causing your problems but that new one sure does look pretty!
