Turns out that the reason the surge valves I’ve tried never worked is that the vacuum tee I was using to connect them was totally defective. \u00a0The “tee” portion was completely unconnected to the rest of the adapter, so I had a coupler with a spare hose holder attached. \u00a0I drilled it out and suddenly I have a surge valve operational.<\/p>\n
In other news, I’ve mounted the boost, oil pressure, and EGO gauges in the radio surround using an old triple gauge holder that Tim had laying about. \u00a0I zip tied it to a bit of metal strapping that I trimmed to fit between two of the mounting clips on the radio surround. \u00a0I drilled a couple holes in the top and put in some old wood screws to keep it from rattling itself apart and so far so good. \u00a0I haven’t hooked the gauges up yet (except for the EGO), but I will.<\/p>\n
I also ran a hose from the PVC towards the headlight area to see if the oil dripping\/spraying pattern changes at all. \u00a0After a drive to work this morning, it looks like the oil drippage has changed a bit, but I’ll need to dig in and take a look later tonight.<\/p>\n
The MSD coil is attached to the car now, as well, and it seems to work without issue. \u00a0Hard to tell if it makes a difference, but at least it looks all pretty up there on top of the valve cover.<\/p>\n
Dad’s working on finding me some scrap bits of Formica that I can use to fabricate some door panels. \u00a0I’m also going to work on building my coilovers this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
