Got the recored radiator in, and plumbed, moved the heater feed to the intake side of the motor. Hooked the aux temp sender to the 2nd heater outlet below the Tstat.
Got the shutdown cable in and hooked up, works well, kinda stiff tho...
fired her up for a bout a half hour, checked for leaks, fixed them, the temp didnt get up past 135-140F, thinking maybe the Tstat is stuck open? How long for the 3B to get up to temp idling?
Got a shifter arm from a RHD BJ60, tested the clutch throw/release while running, shes a beauty.
Gonna finish up the rear panhard drop tommorow, and the throttle cable mount, pull her outside, and put the grille and bumper bits back on.
It's comin together boys. Im stoked.
What guage wire should be used when hooking up a manual glow solenoid? Is 10AWG sufficient? doesnt seem to get warm or hot in 10 seconds of glowing.
Its a tight area on the RH side of the engine with the alternator,pwr steering, vacuum hose, turbo, clutch and brake masters, all in very close proximity.
Exhaust will be the next big project, I have a 3" DP and exhaust leg off a supra and got my flexi in the mail today.(with my tiny tach!) I hacked the exhaust off at the DP, and Im gonna tack together something out of the remaining bits to get it going along the inside frame rail maybe. Do a lot of you guys go out the fender well like a stock LJ? I never like that, so im gonna try and do it on the inside.......
Stay tuned for pics tommorow.
Cheers
