You need to notch the open diff slightly on one side. No big deal.

My custom bell intercooler was $1000.00 , two years ago for a 1 off. Just for reference

It’s a radiator inside a cavity of coolant. There are gaskets and I think I’ve seen 1 pic of a hole in the radiator. You have to take it out and inspect it. Typical HG is coolant in your oil. You seem to have oil in your coolant. Drain down you coolant and pull off the oil cooler cover...

don't overlook the possibility of an oil cooler issue.

I ended up with a custom bell-intercooler setup for my Super Charger. they're more efficient than the Chinese ones which allows for a smaller package. But the throttle body is mounted on the chargers intake so there is a lot more room up top.. From memory it's a 3.7" thick unit.

With my kit the seat still bolts to the floor in the same position. What I did was modify the rail so it operates in the same range but 2” back. No loss of head room.

Do you have 555 brand TREs? They can rust and get noisy.

I’m 6’6” with a 36” inseam. My seat brackets were design 1 right after the purchase. I’ve owned multiple 80s who all got the kit. I find that the amount of increase is fine. Cloth seats fall short of the modified electric seats by about a half inch in travel.

Check your nuts. On the right knuckle

Installing caster correction will take a lot of that out.

My understanding of zener diodes is they only pass a certain voltage. In this case it might be 12v. Since a charged battery is usually around 12.3v and has a charging voltage or 14.2v. Passing only 12v would ensure that the rings brightness is constant. But I could be wrong.

I put a new pipe in whole with the body on. I compressed the pipe from being round to an oval. Then jacked up on the rear floor for extra room and forced the pipe in. Then using a c-clamp round out the pipe again. The pipe interfaces with a rubber connector so being perfectly round isn’t a...

On old connectors like that I take a pair of channel locks and adjust them so the jaws are parallel when clamped on h to he housing snd then crack the housing like you would walnuts.

the bosch injectors use wiring adapters. You said you didn't use them.

What I’d do is unplug each injector 1 at a time and do 2 checks each time. First check is to take a continuity check on each wire on that injector to ground. Toyota switches ground to fire the injector that’s why a short to ground holds the injector open. If you find a short wiggle and move...
