Don't confuse the vac nipples for the boost sensor with the ones sticking straight up on the lower intake - those are for the ACV (which you have blocked off) and they won't work!

Hey, thank alot.
I have one more question. See I recently purchased A remote start alarm it was designed for manual. It set me back about 700 installed. Therefore i decided to go with thermowax set up but it has two vac nipples. One of them goes to the back of the LIM I believe it is the the center one of the three and one of them goes to some kind of dash pot that went to the throttle plates before I did the TB mod. What do i do with the vac hose that goes to the dash pot type a thing? I am not using the bac valve though, so i will run the coolent hose from the block to the thermowax and then out to the back of the water pump. Do you think this set up will work or should i just trash it altogether. Alex And thanks again Collin. |
I would have to say you got raped on the alarm. Did it come with KY Jelley?

when I bought the alarm it was the only on of its kind. Clifford g4 they don't make them anymore the brain is almost the size of an amplifier. DEI took over clifford and now they refuse to continue building these alarms. It works freaking great. Well for me it was worth it cause I really don't like the cold. This alarm aloud me to start the car from almost half a block away.

No prob..
Since you have the throttle pot gone, the thermowax won't work. It's whole function is to actuate that pot to hold the throttle open slightly depending on coolant temp. You might as well ditch it entirely, or put back on a regular TB. |
I just finished these tonight.

Hey collin I just insatlled my engine today and noticed that next to the oil presure sensor on the block there is a small hole for a sensor of some sort I just want to know what sensor it is and where can i get it.

That is actually a coolant temperature sensor
There is two, one on the block and one behind the waterpump on the housing just below the thermostat in an FC3S... Shop around for the sensor, they are cheap, as a matter of fact I have a few sitting in my garage on a shelf.. I don't believe it's 1/4" NPT because I tried to thread in a common plug for it on a different motor I was working on some time ago, but I'm not 100%.. I may have that confused with the oil pressure sensor thread on the same iron... It goes directly into the cooling passage you won't be able to run the car without something to plug the hole at the very least. If you PM me shipping details I will send you a sensor for the hole, but something should have come out of it while you were building, so perhaps re-check you're stock of unused bolts/nuts.. |

[snapback]734152[/snapback] [/quote] Hey, Collin I looked to see if i had it but can't find it. If you can send me a sensor for the whole. I would be glad to pay for it. shipping info is: California Gold 1951 Old Cuthbert Rd. suite 105 Cherry Hill, NJ 08034 Please let me know how much it will cost me. Thanks again, Alex M. |
Hey I have everything hooked up and I turn the key it starts right up , the rpm goes to 2000rpm then it shuts down. then i noticed there is gas leaking through the injectors. What is the first steps i should take in this matter. I'm happy that it started up.
and it sounded pretty damn good. |
