Ditching the carb and going megasquirt with sequential injection and ignition. :D
Here's a teaser of what I am doing for my engine harness.

Nice, I love the Mil spec connectors, just unwilling to spend hundreds of dollars on them.

Nice work on the cage Brad.  Back bracing a seat is hardcore. 

How hard was it to get the sound deadening residue out with go gone?

The goo gone really just helped take up the thin layer of stuff left over from the torch, it really didn't do much. In fact it just made an oily mess to clean up -_-

I took off work for a week starting Wednesday so I should be able to start messing with it then. I had a megasquirt on my old rotary rx7 and I liked it a lot, I'm sure you will too :)

Turns out I don't like the wiring on the cluster like that, sticks out too far and rubs a little on the metal support for the steering column. Going to cut the spades off and do ring terminals and keep it tucked in tight.

Well went on a deployment that got extended so the car has been in storage for a good bit :(
Here she is, sad and lonely.

[attachurl=1]

Getting out and moving back to Texas real soon, have considered getting rid of it so I don't have to trailer it back and have it sit in storage for  2 years or so while I finish school and get a house. :*(
I was in the middle of converting it to efi when I got deployed so it needs a good bit of wiring done, probably be a pain to find someone that doesn't mind that rofl

how did you do the shifter? you had a linkage system that by looking at it i can tell would be a cleaner shift then the system from grannyspeed
