Dad came up and we worked on the 95 some today. I did some work trouble shooting the issue with the ign wire that read 10v with the key on, and turns out it has a short to ground somewhere between the firewall and colomn, and it was not the ign switch. I bypassed the ign wire and all worked as expected.

Dad spent time making a template for a cold air box, we picked up a 9" K&N filter, tomorrow we should have it cut out and welded up.

Sure is nice to be able to fire it up and drive it in and out of the garage again! Should have it finished up and back in dad's garage some time next week.

Not a problem. Load up and bring a blank check that won't bounce!


We have driven the 95 a hand full of times now. It has plenty of power!

That would be awesome. I might have found someone that carries a complete kit for my car for around $800. It come with the fuel pumps, oil pan, headers, wiring and computer, motor mounts. Sounds like an awful good deal to me.
