the car has 205 70 R15's all the way around... I just got a hold of 2 23560R15's BFG T/a's that will hook just fine once she is on the road... now when i spray, thats going to be a different story

[Foxman]

can anyone tell me what goes here? i think its a spot for a relay?
this plug is by the ecu in the passenger kick panel

Relay

Relay for the Fuel pump....

 

[Foxman]

the plugs for the relay for the fuel pump dont match the holes in the plug... i search fuel pump relay on google and it says its on the shock tower by the air box... I think this has something to do with the ignition... I have everything hooked up right that i know of i just cant get the engine to turn over... only time it does is when i jump the start relay..

 

[Foxman]

i just realized something... im missing the back up light harness i believe i need for the auto to T5 swap im doing... anyone have any inside on this... need to figure out the neutral safty circuit....

Looking good, dude!

Back Up Harness

Yeah just jump the wire and you should be good to go.... Take it out of gear though....

 

[Foxman]

man... this sure has taken a screeching holt!

i start to look for my wiring problem today... found out that i didn't hook up part of the neutral safety switch that goes to the column... and I found another plug that i cant seem to find were it goes... end up just walking away from it...

Starting to move forward agian... starting to get the engine back together, after some paint the engine bay is starting to look good... Tomorrow i'm going to put the engine on TDC Number 1 and stab distr. in the right way... then start running the Ford racing plug wires i got... then im going to pick up the trick flow A/c Eliminator bracket to get rid of the A/c and P/S! then i will need a new belt and a couple radiator hoses..

the only problem im having now is weather or not i should buy a Manual rack and pinion or just run the Power rack with no pump... Not sure how safe that would be but it would save me some money!

Before!

After!!!!!
