well its not a huge problem. Just one that came at the wrong time. My plan was to have my car running tonight. everything was on. timing was set. checked for fuel leaks near the Injectors before i started it up. all seems good. i go to add water and IT all comes out agian. i take a closer look, damn water pump rusted out in the front.. second one too.. so i goto shucks at 8:59 pm and they are locking the door, i said all i need is a waterpump. it will only take a second. the friggin guy says. sorry its been a long day, I wanna go home. go figure. and is smucks open tomorrow? i was so mad i didnt look too see if they are open...



so that was my day... how was everyone elses day?

problem fixed. schmucks was open. but they didnt have the water pump i needed. so i had to drive to shorline. anyways 2 hours later i got the pump its all in. So before i put the UIM on i Just sat it in place so i Could hook up all the fuel lines and i pressured up the system. that was last night. so i pop of the fuel line on the back of the fuel rail on the secondary injectors. and a huge puff of air and fuel go everywhere, So that answers my Question if there are any leaks or not... Looks like things are a GO.. so far. more later

that would be kick *** if you could do that.. but i already have everything together with the old fuel rail. i guess i can fix the PD later. like SOON later. I do need a radiator before i can drive it very far, Fuelrail without a PD and a metal radiator would be a plus. that would make my engine swap complete!

John! I have not started the car yet so if you would like to come by`for the First start up you are welcomed too!!! that way someone can keep an eye on the oil pressure temp and all those things while i look under the hood for any Possible Problems. I am going to wait till monday or tuesday to start her up. I am pretty sure that i have the cas set right. however I dont really want to turn the key yet. because if i am wrong it could maybe wreck somthing. i have turned it over with out fuel and spark. sounds good. let me know if you can make it.. if not I could use someone to give me a hand! thanks
