Bit of an update...
I've been dumping miles on my poor car like nuts. I drive too much and I'm starting to get sick of it. Having a girlfriend that lives a hundred miles away doesn't help a bit, either. In a month I have logged 5 thousand miles and two oil changes on it already. In fact I just rolled over 206k today...
My most recent oil change I tried the Wal-Mark G bio-synthetic oil. It's supposedly biodegradable, which makes me somewhat more comfortable using it for whatever tree hugger reason. No real word on how it is yet. I've only had it in for about 700 miles.
As to the supercharger- I got the plans and diagrams today for the mounting brackets. I'll be picking up the necessary angle steel tomorrow, measuring and marking, and hopefully cutting and fabbing the brackets this week. My techy friend has been assigned with wiring the piggyback EManage Blue system, so that's a separate work in progress. After the brackets and wiring, I need to mount the slim radiator fans, fab a charge side pipe, and ghetto rig a hood scoop. There will be small things like finding the correct belt and possibly fuel system upgrades, but the major things are the brackets and wiring.
Big question, does my SOHC have side or top feed injectors? I need to ask around...
Probably the most important update I have is that I am moving at the end of the month to San Mateo, CA. My contract with the Air Force to leave today (the 18) was called null and void due to my collar bone, and I have yet to be cleared for duty. However, I am still entering service, at now an unknown date because of my lack of contract. Short term, I am just going to continue going to school and working! For car stuff, of course...
I took two trips to Kansas lately, and on the return trip on the last one, was stuck with this awesomeness for hours (object being the temp guage)
Question...what is the speaker vent looking deal to the left of the steering wheel? Always noticed it in many cars but I have never been able to decide what it's use is.
Pictures and updates on the supercharger install to come!
