QUOTE(raynekat @ Sep 8 2017, 09:17 PM)  To check out the relay board you need a multimeter and the wiring/circuit diagram for the board. Not sure if the above is good for your board? but it might be. You go check every pin on both the 14 and 12 pin connectors with their "destinations." You should have good continuity on everyone. If you don't, you likely have a broken connection between a trace and a pin on the backside of the board. This will require removing the potting, re-soldering the break and then re-potting the entire backside when complete. I had 2 such issues on my 914-6 relay board. We had no switch power to pin 85 on the power supply relay. Which would have feed the 85 pin on the fuel pump relay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Plus we need a jumper from ground III. Heading to bed right now. Next time I go to bed the car will be in the trailer ready to head to Atlanta. Matt's out picking up the seats and a new engine wiring harness. |

Almost 5 a.m. just made it home to bed if you are asleep and then back at it to try and get it wrapped up. Still a lot to go.
Got the wiring harness done and the jumper is installed for grounding the fuel pump Attached thumbnail(s)

Got the seat bases and Adjusters all restored with new bushings and fresh paint after sandblasting. One had a broken seat adjuster handle so I drilled that out and put in a new handle that we make

Bleed brakes Adjust e brakes and set air gap Install and torque in half shafts. No safety wire. We'll wait for the new ones. Lower of ground and set front ride height. Hillbilly front and rear alignment. To be done on Monday at PMB Don't plan on going home till we load it in the trailer .................. Time for coffee #2..............

I'll try to post as much as I can but I keep nodding off. As usual Jack was incredible help today. Here is Fab tap a tool to hold the wheel in place while you're trying to tighten up half shafts.

Long day. As usual didn't quite go as planned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Super In Law was with us the entire day and evening ................ Amazing I'll let Matt give you the blow by blow. Cary's short list : Torque rear axle castle nuts Install and adjust shift linkage Adjust brake pedal push rod Re-bleed brakes after sitting all night Get Matt loaded and on his way to Salt Lake City Too tired to remember the rest Engine builder is coming back to give the engine and carbs a little tune ............. I don't really dig the carbs too much. But the cam is pretty impressive. |

Last night Jack just held it. |

1:15 am and she's loaded in the car ................
Ran into more issues. I'll let Matt elaborate. Left Matt at the shop to load up what's left for the car. For safety's sake I suggested Matt have his son drive him to Salt Lake City and fly him home. That way Matt can unwind and sleep.   |

Long trip to Atlanta was cancelled because of hurricane. New destination Red Rocks, so the car came out of trailer for another day of interior work.
We left at 7pm and he still needed carpet and seats. No posts, maybe he got it done. I went back yesterday afternoon to re engineer the 4 barrel throttle. That's covered in Matt's other thread. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2526840 Car has a 1pm appointment at Rothsport for a ride height, alignment/counterbalance. |

Starting to forget what day it is and my name and... what were we talking about.
A lot has happened in the last 48 hours I worked on a car from most of those hours. In the wee hours of the morning trying to get packed up for the trip to Atlanta with a car that was not running because of linkage issues and still so much still to be done with the car it occurred to me that as much as I wanted to make it there it was not going to happen and it would make a lot more sense to take a running driving car to an event. Red Rocks is a lot closer and I had a blast last year so altered plans with the car back off the trailer I went to work overtime if that's possible. What's over time to 3 o'clock in the morning well I stayed up all night last night working on the car. Yes that's right zombie mechanic. It was a very surreal thing no music playing like I usually have for motivation, no two liter of Mountain Dew just working through the parts sorting things out figuring okay this goes here and seeing something else okay that goes there but I have to do it in this order and spending a buttload of time on that damn window. That is still not done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I always try and keep in mind that things happen for a reason and this is not in sequence for everything that's happened but is too cool not to share. We still have to figure out the alignment ride height and we're still having some brake issues carry in his awesomeness hold a favor at Rothsport Racing and was able to get the guys excited about the project and wanting to help on it. He was able to get me an appointment at 1 p.m. but we still needed some brake components that we're being overnighted from Eric at PMB (thank you, you rock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)) so I work on the car up to the point where I get it into the trailer and load only the car and take it out there. Pick up the brake parts and head out. I get there and I'm just overwhelmed with how cool this place is but I'm so freaking tired. Taking a nap for about an hour and a half on the couch in the employee break room. I will not make it back downstairs Jeff gamroth himself is doing the clinic with the guys on the car. Pretty freaking amazing had to share this out of order. As soon as I have the time I will get more sequential build information for you. Attached thumbnail(s)

This is what my car was surrounded by. Place is truly amazing. Very I don't know how you get any work done at all I'd be drooling all day long. Thank you thank you thank you you are awesome and it goes without saying my project would be nowhere near the caliber it is without your guidance and assistance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

They didn't get away too early, but Matt and Shannon are on their way. They were in the Dalles at 7pm. He sounded a little more rested.
East bound and truck n. |
