Jimmy just couldn't figure out why he couldn't pull codes from it with an LS1 programmer. This was funny to me, but I'm not sure if it was actually funny, or the fact that I haven't gotten much sleep this week made it funny. Either way, here it is.

This was the stopping point for the night. It doesn't look like we did much, but there's a lot of work in that harness. It may look like a rats nest now, but it will look good when done.

There was a lot accomplished tonight, but Fred's laptop took a dump so no pictures. Harness is all but loomed, air filter setup is almost done, and the ECM is giving us feedback.
The laptop died, but some miracle I got my normal PC working again so I can post the writeup from tonight.
NIGHT 6
Got home from work this afternoon about the time Jimmy and Troy returned from a Junkyard trip for some wiring stuff and fuel line fittings we needed. They said I didn't look that good, so they advised me I should to go take a nap. So I did, and later in the night Flem showed up and we got to work. We got the harness ready to run the diagnostics test on, but the laptop wouldn't cooperate, so we had to settle for testing it tomorrow hopefully. Got started on the air intake and I think that's going to turn out pretty good thanks to some Parts scrounging on Troy's part at a Diesel Truck shop. If all goes well tomorrow, the fuel lines and some cleanup work and looming will be about the finishing touches on the setup. Anyway, I'm beat down, time for sleepy.
More harness:

NIGHT 7
Didn't really do much tonight because it was Easter and I slept from 4am last night, got up for church, then went back to sleep until about 6pm. Flem came out and brought a laptop that worked with him. We plugged into the harness and it seems to check out fine. Got most of the air intake finished as well. The rubber elbow is a 3.5" opening, and the MAF for a TPI motor is 3", so I had to build a reducer into the mandrel bent piece of 3.5". I think it tunred out pretty good. Here are a few pics.

NIGHT 8
As I expected, Troy beat me to the house before I could get home from work once again. He showed up with our Fuel lines we had made a local shop. Mr. Johnny on the spot with parts as usual. Between the fuel lines and the K&N he found for the air cleaner, we were starting to look pretty good on parts. Tonight was a night of finishing a lot of little loose ends. We got the rest of the intake manifold bolted and torqued down for good, got the fuel system finished and pressure checked, o2 sensor bung welded in the downpipe, cooling system knocked out, and we got the harness taped and loomed for the most part. About 3am, Flem and I were discussing making a push for a test fire, but logic prevailed and we decided to call it a night and go for ignition tomorrow afternoon. Here's a few pics.
Troy welding the bung in and Flem making sure the harness length looked right.

Still left to get done before friday (I am guessing):
steering,
correct spring rates,
take out extra battery (changed hood, why not lose another 50lbs),
get spare axleshafts,
test drive,
make sure Troy figures out the automatic...
get spotter strap together,
fire estinguisher, first aide etc...
Did I miss anything?

The office sucks - I wanna go wheeling!
You left out the brakes.
I guess that's as close as Scott gets to a compliment.
