A bit of plumbing and electrical today.  Installed a fuel pressure gauge under the hood to confirm PSI while dialing in the carb.  Also made room for the coil packs and relocated my fuel filter.



The ECU found a home on the passenger's side kick panel.  Computer port is accessible – for the most part.



A few years back, I took a control cable from a Hammond B3 organ and a 147 Leslie cabinet combo, and used it to build a harness for my friend's Porsche Speedster replica.  I'm wishing now I had held on to that cable - it had shielded pairs running through it which would have made wiring up the crank trigger a snap.

MM, I haven't heard anyone mention a Leslie in years. That was a pretty unique speaker!

I know -- off-topic.  I've got two Electro-Voice speaker cabinets here in the living room -- and I'm listening to them now.  One's a "Cardinal" and the other is the Cardinal's big brother, a "Patrician".  The Patrician is equipped, so my dad told me (he was E-V sales manager at the time) with the E-V 18" woofer.  I drive the system with a 2-watt amplifier.

Okay, over to you, Chris.

I guess I'm guilty of hijacking this thread.

The EV Patrician is an awesome speaker! Very rare, too. I have a pair of Klipsch La Scala folded horns in my workshop driven by an old Marantz 60W amplifier but they only need a watt or so.

Don't worry - I brought it up, and Jon joined in - you can't be accused of piracy if you're in cahoots with the Admiral.

A couple of sayings in the audio biz -

"It's not the watts - it's watt you do with them".

The other - and this one is directed toward anybody who has ever been the guilty party at the mix position of a concert or the tech doing AV for a corporate event - myself included -

"It's not the knobs - it's the knobs BEHIND the knobs".

Anybody ever gets to Milwaukee, stop by and see our company owner's microphone museum - free of charge -

We're about 15 blocks away from the Harley Davidson museum, and if you show up by me at quittin' time, I'll buy the first round at Stenny's.

Bass player over my back fence suffered a neck injury one day when he was driving along and saw a pair of Klipsch theatre monitors sitting out for hard rubbish collection........ I think he got a back injury loading them into his car....swapped them for some highly drooled over english reference speakers.

I have a pair of cylindrical JR's , they're really nice but I also have a pair of 12 inch Celefs...... my dad bought both pairs in 1978 .

If he loaded them into his car, they were not La Scalas-- those would fit in the bed of a pickup but not in a car-- they also weigh 127 lbs apiece!

um, Chris- Are you building a race car, or a 'band' wagon?

Both, actually -



That was the 16th - South Shore Frolics Parade -

I'm not in this one, but me, my singer, and the other guitarist were running wireless and pimping the crowd along the route.

Took first place.

Station wagon,

Yep, La Scalas......I just Googled 'em....

His better half got a little hot under the collar when they were brought into their very neat ,renovated period correct 50's home.....hahahahahahaha, but as I said they were swapped for something smaller, the other party paid the freight to Perth(3000miles) on them.....he was more than just a little excited when he found them, but what a quandary.....they didn't match the flat screen converted 1950's TV , the rebuilt two tone green Kitchen......

Chris, as long as we're talking about your car -- I'm wiring audio connectors.  The mic has two wires and the XLR, to which I've gotta connect the mic, has three.  Hot or ground to pin 2?  What about 1 & 3?  I'm cornfused.  Please help.
