Well I don't know what I've done, but I took one of my hoods to the shop and it's going to get powder coated flat black. I was going to do just the one side, but after talking to the guy, he said worst case I could just sand it down and paint over it. Regardless, it's there and will be ready by next week. VERY excited!

nice , anyway you can paint over powder coat , get some pics when done !
Interesting. Never really thought of powdercoating sheet metal... but why not?

Got the paint picked out, I hope it is going to work and look good. Going with a flat black, no clear, but this is not a 2 stage paint so I won't need a clear on top. I asked about the UV protection and so forth.
Also got the new wideband installed. I still have some changes and tweaks to make, but I got it working and am receiving data. There are some configurations I need to make so it translates the voltage for boost into readable values, but I'm still learning how it works. Offers data logging on the device via an SD card, so I can just plug it in and then take it over to my car. Very excited about using it and getting it working fully.

Glad to see the shortblock getting some use. Your car has to be one of the cleanest rat traps I've seen in a long time. A fresh flat black will put it over the top.

I don't know how to take that backhanded compliment. Just kidding, I know what you mean.
Went to get the hood from the powdercoater and it turned out great! There were more imperfections than I saw, but overall it looks really good!! The main purpose was to do under the hood, but the cost was about the same and it didn't make sense to have him try and mask off the top. Besides, sorta primed and sealed it for me. I don't need to paint it, but I plan to scuff and lay a coat on it so the job is even.
Here are some pictures. Overall it did ok and I didn't do too bad putting the hood back on by myself. Heck I think it looks good just because it's a uniform well laid on color. I could have gone with some ugly color I didn't like and it still would look better than what I had before.

That hood looks nice...sounds like you and Brian are going to be pulling some all nighters in preparation for the car show

Here is what has happened so far. Got the car to Tuscola where Brian and I will be working on the car. As you can see, Brian has done QUITE a bit of work on it so far. And the one picture of the head light bar; you can't see it, but the fiberglass is broken, so I may have to do some fiberglass work as well!!! Not too happy about that, but might as well fix it while I have the front clip removed. I'm pseudo working today, but I did help out and was dismantling, but Brian did a fair bit of work, removing the front clip, side skirts, helped me remove the hood, took out the windows, mirrors, window scrapers and a bunch of other things. I worked on removing the tail lights, front rebar, rear skirts, interior sails, other interior pieces and did work to pull out two major dents in the car.
Here is where I had a dent in the front. I don't know how this got made, but it was in THE worst spot. I had to do some more damage to get it looking descent, but it came out ok. I was happy with how it looks, overall. Going to need some bondo though. :$
This is the other one that was equally as bad. Again, hitting a crease on a car is a work of art to do and probably one of the worst things to have to repair. I am not a body man, but this came out ok. I still need to actually apply mud to it and see how much work I have cut out for me.

Looks like you guys are working on it a lot and fast!
Shoot me a PM with any Zeitronix questions if you still have any.
Also, the 8 seconds reset you talk about.....you have it hooked to the MAP sensor? You maybe seeing the baro reading.

You know, I'll confirm but I went by what I had coming out of the LM plugs going to the MAP sensor itself. I have an 87 computer that uses the three wires coming off there to go to the MAP sensor and I think I did that right. I also found out that my system is not regulating voltage, so I was getting 16V running the car at night with the system running. I don't know if that would cause issues, but I'm not going to test that thing until I confirm that the voltage regulator in the alternator is working as intended.
And I wasn't sure if we were making progress or not. I hope we are, but we still have a lot to go. Plan is to start working on the car tonight until Brian gets off work, then he and I will continue to do more work into the WEEE hours of the morning, then rinse and repeat tomorrow. More to come!

When the baro sensor opens, it lets the MAP sensor see atmosphere for a split second, then goes back closed again. Kind of like going close loop, open loop for a second, then back to close loop. Usually does this at idle quite a bit. Not sure if it's every 8 seconds or not...that kind of seems too much. But when this happens, you'll see normal vacuum on your log, then 0 for a second, then back to normal vacuum again.
Also, unless you have something other than stock, your voltage regulator is in your power module. Not your alternator itself.
