Turns out since tje battery was disconnected I needed to recalibrate the meter. Once I did that it seems fine.
One other obsevation. Prior to the fuse panel being replaced I would see a flutter of the gauge lights so either loose wire , connection or ground but this is not present any longer. My next 2 projects will be to install my j west fog light module( to make them able to turn on when headlights are off. The other will be to get the new taco plate and tuna can put in. I was able to take the car out for a few short trips today and overall it ran good. No hot start issue. But 2 times while sittin at light idling it dropped from 1000 which once warmed up is where the idle sits, dropped to about 700 but did not die. This i have not figured out but at least its running now! x |
