They could not find anything wrong, had it laying around for 7 months, but I didn't really bug them about it. They finally found that a part that used to be only for the 5 speed was installed, but Weddle changed it a few years back to be common with the 4 speed, so the part had wrong splines and would work, just not very good. He said mine was the very last 5 speed built. Mike had the R&P delivered to the tranny shop, no word yet on when he might get it back. He is working on electric power steering now before he sends the frame to powder coat.
so she fired up and idles really good for not having started for 8 years. the wiring schematic looked like the pcm was sending a neg signal to energize the fuel pump and cooling fan relays.....i guess i read it wrong turns out its sending positive voltage. re wired the fuel pump and need to re wire the cooling fan relay. i installed a bypass switch for the fans but wired it as a grounding circuit. so i need to pull the center console apart and re wire that too. scott wired 2 leds into the console ,1 of which is to see when the fans turn on. i will wire that back in. i meant to but forgot and didn't want to open it back up. well i get too now and not the end of the world if this is the only issues i have after building a new harness! jacked it up and ran it through the gears to get the oil coating everything again. new gen 2 coil packs, wires and ngk plugs stopped the black smoke and woke it back up! will be fun to drive once the snow and ice has melted. the fuel pump leaks out of the positive terminal post. i bought it a year ago so there is no warranty. i ordered a replacement tonight and should probably order a 2nd for a spare. no other fuel leaks other then that and no coolant leaks. i left it on vac for 10 mins and never saw a loss before i filled it.

I wired all my big buggy negative switched. Switches carry fewer amps that way and should last longer as well.I let mine sit under vac for a few hours. A few minutes bit me in the ass a couple times.
