Miles,

I will see you face-to-face next year...

when you do Joe...bring food

I've been following your thread (Great car) and when you were getting the loom

ready you mentioned adding a few wires for your six. I am doing a ground up

resto right now on a 74 and I would like to add those wires to the loom now for

a future conversion. Could you let me know the guage, number of wires and

starting point and destination. Thanks.

There are really only two wires that need to be added. One for the oil PSI and one for the oil temp.

So I had to remove the alternator to fix a self-induced wiring problem.

Those of you who have done this on a six can understand what I went through today.

Here's the optical trigger for the MSD installed under the 6A box (the wiring will be made neater once the coil mount is here):

Carpet arrived. Thanks James.

Final arrangement of the front:

Did you take a picture of a box??? You're almost as bad as McMark!!

joe, not trying to beat a dead horse...

but any airflow to the cooler? why there?

Aaron: the air box is gone and the grill sets in a vacume. there will be plenty of air going across it.
:PERMAGRIN: Joe

opening in front of tub?

then i could see *some* airflow.....


just curious is all.....

I think all you would need to do is not install the gromets.
:PERMAGRIN: Joe

OK. Now I'm curious about the "NO Airlfow" through the cooler question.

I do agree most engines used for daily driving can get away with "radiating" heat with no airflow when a cooler is added to an engine with the stock engine cooler in place.

B

We removed the plugs from the bottom of the front trunk to promote airflow from the air inlet in front of the windshield, across the cooler and out the bottom of the trunk.

The gas tank compartment will need to be sealed to make this happen, however, this is a stock 2.7. Very minimal airflow should do the job. The cooler is very large for a 2.7.

It's experimental. Think of it as a battery warmer.

Worst case: We'll add a fan to the cooler. It'll be fine.

Headers back from ceramic coating. They're on the car now. I'm sending the muffler to be coated too.

Magnecor spark plug wires:

And the carpet set out of the box (for Eric).

I spent the day installing the exhaust, tuning the engine with the Crane optical trigger (points replacement) and installing the master cylinder.

Things are going well, but I'm still behind.

this is what your after im assuming.
all the plastic bushing in the ones i have are pretty beat up.(ill throw it in the box anyways)i think you can get a new one from the bird.
james

That's exactly what I need.

Thanks James.

The Crane points replacement is exactly that? As i understand its like a 'pertronix' unit and not a seperate box like the XR700?
Is this the one that'll work with my permatune (or bosch CDI unit)

This is the first time I've used it, but I would think that it would trigger a Bosch CD box.

Brakes are finished:

Here's the mod to the seat rails for the GTS seat:

Seat in the car for a test fit:

coming along really nicely joe! Are those stock 4 rears? What are you running in the front?

Eric

Fronts are '77 911 and rears are /4 calipers on /6 rotors.

It's been a while since I have checked this thread. Car looks great Joe! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Looked back and tried to find it, but what was the need for the seat rail mod?

Thanks!

Only one style of GTS seat is a direct bolt-in.

Carpet in for a test fit:

That is already a sweet looking car.

I like the bikes in the living room in the carpet photo. Is the compact frame a Giant? Before getting married, my bikes had their own bedroom.

-Roger

It's a Giant TCR w/Ultegra and the Cannondale is a CAAD4 w/full Campagnolo Record.

Here you go.

I'm proud of this one. Forget about the R1000, I just used the frame:

And the TCR2:

Sweet bikes joe, both a couple of great frames. What kinda of riding do you do? any racing? You should bring the bikes up to oregon for some really great riding. I've been told it's really similar to riding in europe here in the willimate valley. If you ever want I could show you some great rides.

Eric

We're actually planning on riding home to FL next year. So I guess that makes me a long-distance cyclist.

We won't have time to ride in OR, but I appreciate the offer.

wow joe! that sounds like a hell of an epic ride! Enjoy the trip but I hear riding your bike through the south can be interesting though. A buddy of mine did a cross country trip and was constantly harassed by cops down in the southern states. I guess they just didn't understand the idea of riding your bike that long, lol. Anyway cool bikes!
