I started my new build during the beginning of the pandemic. I did a few things a couple of years back and ultimately was dissatisfied with the outcome due to lack of actual candor of the engine I purchased from a party out of state. So to make sure this time I wanted to do the work myself not something I’m normally not doing but I’ve done some things before as a teenager on engines. Therefore I am always open to suggestions from people with a little more knowledge. I am an electronic technician by trade. So some of the wiring stuff comes a little more easier to me.
