I have a black tail stripe on my 67 and really like it. Helps break up all the solid color back there. I got one with 1/4" pinstripes as well as I like the extra little "flair".

I think what I found most interesting was that the hinge definitely appeared to have a spot to put a spring at least. That being said, I'm having enough trouble getting it to not hit the A/C ducting behind the dash at all. I think I finally got it, but it's wrangled in there pretty good. If I...

There are some other interesting features I've been playing around with in the idle menus that I need to dig into some more. The Idle VE settings let you set up a smaller resolution VE table that the MS will use once it determines the engine is in the "idle" state. You could use this to get...

Which brings us to the next big point, idle control: There's a lot going on here, but that's because the MS can handle several different methods of idle control devices. If you are running drive by wire (DBW), I'm not exactly sure how the MS deals with that. It has some functionality for DBW...

Next up is the one I've been having a harder time trying to get the MS to emulate the OEM on, which is warmup related stuff. The OEM setup is slightly more sophisticated than what the MS offers, and there's one particular feature I with the MS had which was rpm based warmup enrichment. The...

Been a little while since the last update, but I've also been digging into the OEM setup some more on the HPT tune to try to better understand some of the stuff in the next section, startup/idle. We'll start off with the cranking stuff to get things started (literally and figuratively). The...

My thought process was that if the OBDLink can turn the headlights on and off while only being connected to CAN D, was it actually routing that message through some other module that's "translating" the message to the other bus. So hook up everything and connect with AlfaOBD and send the...

Did you have everything hooked up when you did the ODBLink? Might try unplugging modules one at a time while sending the headlight message to see if one of those is the culprit.

Interesting. Have you got any other modules on the network at the same time? I wonder if something is acting like a gateway and taking the message in on one bus and relaying it over another.

Ah, okay. The ISO 11898 sounds a little familiar from some of the bus stuff I was looking at before. I got into it with my Viper because the TPMS is the one thing that you have to have a factory scan tool for, and not just a factory scan tool, but the real deal handheld DRB III one. They...

Wow, that is pretty odd. I guess the headlights would probably be considered a critical safety system though, so I could kind of understand them being on a more specialized network. Strange that it's such a "proprietary" one though. You'd think they would have dug into their usual bag of...

That's kind of where I ended up. I went through a lot of different ideas of what I wanted to do with my car from a small block stroker, supercharged small block, all aluminum big block, to the gen 3 Hemi. I originally bought the car with the Hemi plan, but kind of waffled at the time due to...

I've debated putting a sensor on my car as I have a Megasquirt setup that can support different fuels and it would give me options just for the fun of it. E85 used to be pretty easy to get around me, but I don't think I've seen it much lately in my area at least. Also just running the stock...

It's basically a stock 06 5.7 with the SRT Max Plus cam and a set of headers. I do love the exhaust setup though. It's a really nice blend of good tone without being annoyingly loud. In theory it might make 400 at the crank, but I haven't had it dyno'd since I've done my latest work on the...

Not super impressive, but here's a couple of clips of my original swap:
