I had high hopes but by end of day sun , I knew it wouldn't make the trip.

Do you know the name of the company that sells the ceramic windshields?

enemy.......when were you going to tell me that efi live finally put out the digital dash's for the megasquirt ecu's ?!!!!!!! 12.3 hard wired 100% configurable dash! a little spendy but litterally plug n play for my ecu and i can data log, read auto tune and make changes from the dash!!

NICE FIND!
Havent hit his site in a while.. Noticed a couple guys on the MS forum building some dashes for Tunerstudio, but that is top notch. I will stick with analog needles is the car for now, not that I pay much attention to them anyway lol

Really like the touch screen tablet with large display !! I know this can be done with shadow dash on a tablet but not quite as stream lined. I am not 9verly fond of the price tag nor do I need to be able to change tables via the display......damn nice feature but unessacary for my application. I really like it though. I read what little info they offer on both the $699 and $999 12.3" models. Standard and pro models and the pro states fuel gauge but standard doesn't. The instruction manual states there 8s an analog sensor with its own harness needed for the fuel gauge function. So this should be possible to add directly to my ms3 ecu and display on a tablet.

Really like the GPS function too

My new engine stand showed up today. They offered a plastic drip pan for the base so I bought it too. Sadly their info was wrong and it doesn't not fit

Cool,too bad the drip pan was a no go.

Ya, it is actually a nice drip pan but at $80 i don't want to cut it up. The center angled support is what interferes. Would need to cut an additional 6" out of the center to clear that brace. I'm not willing to simply remove the brace either.

The new stand is nice and my motor will be back on it this weekend. Need to pull everything out to finish welding everything. Folds up for easy storage too. Has a 1000 lb rating.

I bought my high output alternator from Nations Alternator. https://www.nationsstarteralternator.com/ I could not be happier with it.

Great info and if needed again, I will give them a try. To be honest, I don't truly need 130 amp but they offer it in a case that bolts in to a stock location. My engine came out of an 88 thunder bird or as I affectionately call them.....thunder chickens lol. They were v belts and I pre fer the serpentine belt design. So I bought all the pulleys and mounts off a 1994 Ranger 2.3 n/a and bolted them on. Now Ranger made a belt that bypassed the power steering and a/c system so stock belts , water pumps, belt tensioner, pulleys etc etc are available at any parts store. I could go with a stock 90 amp alt and connect it backvto to ecu but the 1 wire did all I needed with 0 issues. Tried and true works for myself but it does complicate replacements.
