Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392
Not the most productive weekend.. Worked on tying up more lose end and tidying up the build and the shop. It was time.
I think I spent more time thinking about what's next than actually focusing on the present. And just becoming obsessed with a few tiny details. Waiting on some ac fittings and since that's primarily where my brain has been for the past week or so.. It was hard to change gears.
I did get my AC thermostat relocated and got the probe into the evap. Just didn't like the look on the firewall plus this should better than wrapping around the low side line. There is so much crap in that dash and an absolute pain to do or add anything in there. Also made a radio delete panel for the gaping where the radio once was.. Thanks previous owner for chopping that out for the awesome $75 jvc stereo. Added the oil pressure gauge there as well. Wasn't going to, but I had it to use. I'll use a 7" tablet for everything else.. May upgrade to the mx+ obd reader and use the tablet for all gauges and tuck the on dash gauge away. For now, I just wanted something I knew would work accurately on start up.
O, also put some thought into power steering pressures. I bought a Camry pump and pulled the pressure valve out. Found that the body was different but everything else interchanged. So pulled all the removable parts out and put them into my 6.4 pumps valve body. Camry is supposed to be rated at 1100ish psi. I'm also using the Turn One 2.5 flow restrictor. I went ahead and bought a power steering analyzer so I can test pressures and flow rate. If I don't hit the right numbers, I'll grind the tip off the Camry valve to match the stock valve.. Saw someone on YouTube do that too. The Borgeson box is rated at 1100-1250 with a max of 1450. I bought one of sublimes reused pressure valves but it's only rated at 850..borgeson said they feel that's too low. Last thing I wanna deal with is blowing this box.
Alot of words for not alot accomplished... But here's some pics to look at. At least the interior is back together!
