Yeah,

That's why I insist on running mechanical gauges. That way I always know whay it's doing.

Update to thread. Drove it to work yesterday. Drive in was uneventful. Ran great, and this thing is a blast on the on-ramps. Stood on it after making the turn, and the speedo was bouncing off the...

I had to repair a couple of things, but for the most part is was pretty decent.

I'm going to go back through the harness this winter. One thing I did discover as I was hooking everything up, the...

I hear that. Already thinking about adding an intercooler to the Daytona to up it a little. Now it's the slow one...:nod:

Just a quick update. Put a few more miles on it last night. I think the new MAP sensor stopped the cruising surge. AFR's at cruise seems to have settled down. This thing is a blast. So much more...

Eventually I will get it to a track, and I hope to dyno it as well. Need to put some miles on it though. So far, I've only driven it about 20 miles since I finished it. Hoping to put a few more on...

OK, another update:

I've been asking a bunch of questions on another thread: http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?82057-Questions-about-WB-readings-amp-tuning&highlight=

But I've...

Thanks!

Your tune made it all possible. :thumb:

Yeah, I replaced the line last night, but sleeping on it, I decided I need to re-route it back further, and make it longer so it doesn't have any possibility of coming near the timing belt. I'll...

OK, got a short drive in around the block before a fuel leak ended my adventure. Thought I had the lines routed and tied back enough to avoid contact, but the timing belt ate a hole in the return...

Thanks for the positive comments!!!

Now that you mention it, we keep schedule 80 pipe fittings at work, I could pretty easily change out that brass pipe nipple with a steel piece with a lot more...

Oh most definitely. A 2300lb vehicle with nearly 300 hp vs a bone stock 2800 lb Daytona with 150 hp. The Scamp ought to haul...:eyebrows: My biggest issue is going to be traction...



...

Nope. mine is 3/8" NPT just like the CTS, which is why I used the T.

BTW, it lives!!!!:banana-mario:

Went back and re-timed the engine. I feel like a total dumb@ss, after seeing what I did. ...

I've thought about it. I will keep an eye on it. This head doesn't have the threaded port on top of the T-stat housing like most. A fact I didn't notice until after the head was on, and I was...

Here is a shot to show some eye candy:

Now, if I can just get it to run as good as it looks...

The truck is basically assembled. I hit a couple snags yesterday trying to get it running. First happened when I tried to fill the cooling system. Coolant started peeing out the weep hole in the...

Been making steady progress, although not as fast as I would like. I made the new gauge plate for the center console, and got it clearanced for the new gauges. Made a plate to mount the WB O2 gauge...

Another major hurdle crossed! Finished the last couple of wires last night. My chip arrived from Force Fed Mopar, and I picked up the socketed SMEC from my friend tonight. Soooo.... I decided,...

Thanks Jon.

I am making progress. Got the fuel pump/sender in the tank last night. Trans is full of oil, and I made my new gauge insert for the center console at work yesterday. So I'm making...

OK, decided to post an update. No pictures, but progress is being made. This thing is getting really close to being alive.

Loom clips arrived, so the harness in now in place, and looks factory. ...

Progress has been slow, but sure. Wiring harness is now done, and at least in the engine bay. Still have a bunch of stuff to hook up, but it's in.

Here is what a 1983 L-body TII SMEC wiring...

I knew about it, but never found one. The Scamp already has large, angled reinforcements in the corners. I didn't check other L-body's at SDAC to see if they were the same. I've considered adding...

Thanks Rob!

I'm going to send you a PM.... I have a chip to send you for a custom cal for this beast...

Thanks Jon, murder charger is one of the inspirations to getting this done...


BTW, you were a hit with my oldest. First show he's been to, and since we got home, all I've heard about is...

Well, after going to SDAC-27, I felt inspired. Arrived back home last night, got a good nights rest, and hit the Scamp hard today.

Painted the engine bay this morning, then assembled the...
