One thing to make sure, or it wasn't clear in the thread, when you ground the brown/black wire, you have to do both ends. In other words splice into this wire, then run your new ground. Worked for me. Maybe because of how I did my wiring or it maybe because I have a 400. This is what I had to do to get it to work. Stays in the middle. I also added a full bottle of water wetter by Redline. GL !!

The motor work and clean up is done.. Now it needs a tune and be drivin hard...
If I could have done anything different, I would have not got such an agressive clutch. Its taking some used too. This thread will prolly be lessoned in the next few weeks. Here is the last pictures of it before the video on the dyno. Enjoy!
Wife working on the car, when I had a seal leak on the drain fitting on the turbo. The last bolt I just couldnt get. I had to call for smaller hands...

Yes.. I will have 20 years in September. I am going to try and retire but I need to run the numbers and see what it will look like money wise. I served only 4 active, the rest is National Guard, currently E-7.
