So about that... lol... Like all thing motoblue, they are never right... The 1/8" port they put in the block for a guage is cut to close to the end so any sort of coupler covers the hole. No problem, I bought a swivel with the 1/8" in it.

Second, my dumb ass didn't buy the plugs for the ends of the fuel rail. No biggy, ordered some more.

Third, The couplers they sent weren't the o'ring side to hose. They were both the beveled hose ends so when I put them in the fuel rails, it covered half the back injector holes. So I re-ordered the correct ones.

Now that's just a bitch. When will everything be in?

I checked the continuity of every connection: (BEFORE)


Guess I need to learn how to do that......

I have to give you additional props for tackling the wiring, so bravo! It is not something that I would be afraid to do, I just don't think I could pep myself up for it. It looks like a freaking monotonous, time consuming, cluster phuck with a fairly decent reward at the end. I look forward to your completion pictures.

:hi:

Should be today/Monday...

It's easy... Found this on google for you: http://www.ladyada.net/library/metertut/continuity.html

Also you can use a continuity light. Which in this case may have been easier, but I broke mine. Which basically is like a test light with a battery in the handle. You clip one end to the first part of the circuit and then touch the probe to the other end. It will light up if/when there is an open loop.

Got it about 75% done...
While I was testing everything out I discovered I will need to extend one more harness and a couple single wires.

These pics are just test fittings. The wires will be wrapped with braided sleeve like you can see in the driver side pics. It doesn't look like a lot has been done, but honestly a lot has. About 10 hours over the past 2 days and a total of about 20 hours so far.

There are 3 thin spacers that go behind that Saleen alternator bracket that are critical for proper spacing. I can't tell from the picture for sure...are they there?

Yeah, I was thinking about moving them under the dash to. But after getting into it, the only bulk of wires that will be see will only be about 3 inches from the block to the passenger side fender well and even those will be so hard to see that I said F the extra work.

Good looking out. They are there. However, I may be missing one behind the idler pulley to the left of the water pump. The directions were strange right there. PM Sent... :)

Damn, now you have me thinking...I don't remember any spacers when I did mine. I don't have an alignment problem though, so I am guessing I didnt fuck up lol

Bruce, awesome job man. After seeing this thread, I finally decided that I am going to do the supershaker. I have been batting it around in my head for a while, and will be pulling the trigger later this spring. Looking forward to seeing you finish this.
