Today I swapped in the .91 transfer gears. The RPM is much lower at speed now, and that's a welcomed change. The gas mileage was relatively horrible before, and I anticipate it getting much better. ...
Replaced the shocks today. It's always fun when the top bolts break. The car rides much more nicely now.
I think the speedometer was bouncing around due to the extreme length of the cable. I...
I replaced the struts today and put an alignment on it. -1.5 degrees of camber on both sides by just pushing them in and cranking the bolts. That was a first.
Interesting. I didn't look at it too hard. I might remove it and take the replacement piece straight to the SDS to see what happens. It was quite a bit longer than the original upper section, so I...
I replaced the top half of the speedometer cable today. The speedo and odometer both work now. The speedo bounces around more than I would like. I'll secure the cable to a couple things and hopefully...
I think that will be just the ticket. Thanks for the suggestion.
Here is a photo I snapped tonight when leaving a restaurant.

The car is running as well as can be expected for the cal that's in it. I think a wideband is soon to come, and then some much better tuning. Joy has actually started to drive it around town in order...
New tires. I actually have a tire machine and balancer coming. I think they should be here Friday.
The Falco Roso is looking great compared to when it arrived. A lot of cleaning today. New rubber coming soon, and then some fender liners...

Well, it was a year long adventure to get the car running right, but I'm back! Details of the experience are in this thread:...
I'll have another look in that area for sure. It looked Good, but I guess you never know. I think I'll know more when I start generating my own 8v signal tomorrow.
Thanks. It's easy to do, and really not expensive if you have the tool already.
Here is a picture of the HEP with the new Deutsch connectors installed. I used some heat shrink tube to denote which one is the black connector.

Well, I pulled the horn relay with no effect. I did test the coolant temp sensor and it ohmed out just fine at about 7.5k with Temps in the 80s. I'll consider putting new terminals and housing on it...
Last time the solution ended up being install a new harness into the car. I need to find what is causing this rather than to go that route again. I'm going to test this, and do only one thing at a...
Still some cutout issues on a longer drive last night. Enough that it will make me worry, but not bad enough to leave me stranded. Thought I would investigate grounds today. The direct battery Ground...
It was indeed the calipers sucking in air past the seals. New big brakes with some hawk pads. They fit behind the Shelby wheels with room to spare. I'm very happy that this ordeal is past me. I did...
I should add that we drove the car tonight after dark, and even in town the lights were incredible. The high beams had Joy and I both laughing.
The spare hep creates the same results. The car stumbles and wants to die while driving, but will easily catch itself when I give it some throttle. No codes, so I'm not really sure where to go with...
We have full instrumentation. Turned out to be a blown fuse even though my crappy meter said the fuse was Good yesterday. :mad: either way, it was an easy fix and allowed for some detailing in the...
I did some testing tonight, and after some effort,I was able to determine that the cluster should be good. I believe signal is coming in on all of the wires,but there is no power to either connector,...
Filled her up for the first time after bleeding the brakes tonight. Still need a different rad in the car, but it runs pretty well. I’m looking forward to driving it for sure.
Replaced the brake booster today and just need to bleed the brakes and give it a test run. I hope to get the rad swapped out tomorrow and drive it to work at some point this week.
Thanks for the link. I'll check them out first when I need a rad recored.
Thanks for the info JT. If I can’t find a good one in the pile, I’ll send the best one off to be recorded. Fortunately, most of. One are in pretty great shape.
