Well, whatever -- let's get the guy taught so he can share his photos no matter how he does it.  As for me -- your description of "left click this" and "right click that" is confusing - to me, the all-Apple guy.  For those of you that don't know it, the Apple mouse has not left and right buttons to click.

Aren't you still trying to memorize your firing order?  You told me it was your #1 project.

Stan,  you'd be confused too if you had to wire this.

I would say there is a lot of arguement in that statement.

Boy oh boy did we get an education

1. about factory literature---turns out the rev limiter is 4950 not 7950  I guess that is why it has no tach
2. speedo accuracy  way way off-- over 20%  registers 90 actually about 77
3. FUEL  thanks to someone in impound  we learned about fuel vapor heat range charts and such

bottom line is if you have detonation issues go with octane ratings--- if not choose the fuel that will vaporize 90% at the lowest temp 

we posted record on an open-- that was WAY slower than we had hoped for-- we over geared--very rookie mistake ---we didnt get near the boost we were hoping for because  of the rpm limits
