Andrew, As I mentioned over lunch, I maxed out my credit card buying those decorations so if you don't mind can you mail them back to me so I can return them to Walmart.
Thanks
Thanks

The only feedback i have is they dont dim as dim as i would like, there is a control module that i purchased that will allow finer control over the gauge, ill post feedback on that when i get it in

But of course, keep in mind i kept it conservative and Rob paired the turbo and tuned to my driving. It may not be a powerhouse with raw numbers but it was a great feeling to pass a car at 70 mph. I would have never been able to accelerate. 3rd-5th gear is usable finally

That's kind of crazy, but I guess thats what forced induction does for you. 3rd-5th are the fun gears in the BJ74.
You never know with those gauges so I have the old school Auber in mine. They work and I guess they match the 1988 decor, but they aren't very exciting to look at.

holy crap, more than a year since i last updated this. wow.
So been dealing with Worst luck with Dakota Digital, since march. Hopefully resolves next week.
Gave the oldgirl a wash and wax this weekend. Went to start it and nothing, no click, just dead. New batteries. Had my wife try to start it and did not hear anything from the starter relay. Ill be pulling it tomorrow to test, are these still available? Anyone replace one recently?

got some good replies on our 70s facebook page, getting a replacement relay from Odd Iron.
While i was digging around tracing some electrical. I came across these two items.
This one is hard to read but its 28610-57100 (glow relay)
and
so i have 2 glow plug relays? this is interesting, i would have presumed one or the other. Can someone school me on this?

just guessing one is for normal operation and the other for the timer/reduced output one, since I am guessing you have the "smart" glow system, can't remember what you call it.

Super Glow - explained
I have recently had a problem with my Super Glow system. During my initial diagnosis of the problem I read a great deal about Super Glow - much of it wrong, so I have drawn up a diagram of the workings of the system and done calculations to understand exactly how it works (well as close as I can...

I need to see the Troopy to plan the bracket out. Unless you want me to make something out of cardboard and toss it on the turbo.
Intake manifold is sparkling clean and ready to be reinstalled... again. Need to bolt on remaining items: alternator, batteries, fan, shroud, rad, etc.
