Well I figured out the loss of power issue... 6 port acctuators were fine, the sleeves though were locked solid. took some work, the screws holding the acctuator rods were stripping out, so I lightly tapped the rods with a hammer and worked them back and forth slowly to get the front one free enough I could wire it open. The rear though, there just was not any room whatsoever to get anything in there with enough force to push it to the open position, took about an hour of being carefull to finally get it right. But I am learning https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR One thing I have learned is that the N/A guys have as much fun as the TII guys when it comes to getting all the stuff right. Finally got under the car to find that my new pacesetter is not going to work on Eb & Jebs welding job. I guess the kid that owned prior to me decided he was going to make it faster by using Honda technology. I have twin 3A Racing mufflers on the car, but about 1.5-1.75 inch pipe running to the back so not a whole lot of anything into these big ass mufflers. The kid apparently wanted to get rid of the cat when the exhaust was put on, so the shop built a test pipe for the car, which is fine in my eyes cause most of us test our cars potential fairly often. Well when they made the pipe they only put a flange on the pre-cat side, and not on the cat - cat back side, so where the new pacesetter would blt to the cat back ther is not a flange, so I will have to make a trip to the local exhaust shop and have one made. Things are coming along rather quickly so I should have it on the road by Monday. can;t wait https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Radio will be in the for sale section, its an aftermarket Sony ES tape deck/ CD controller. The goodies get all put together over the winter, that is why the end of spring timeframe.
