In spite of the fact that I had a ripping sinus headache, I had a good day in the shop.

I rummaged around and found a belt that would fit,...

The new alternator bracket finally showed up. It's a nice piece, but not quite as "finished" as the one I put on Greenbean. I goofed when installing...

Now that we know it runs, the next step is the transmission valvebody.

Trans-Go offers a kit to do it yourself. It is the cheapest option....

Been grinding through the wiring the last couple of days. Not my favorite job.

As of today, the engine bay is 99% done. I just need...

I put some gas in it and it lit right off. Disaster averted.

Oh and if the squealing belt is any indication, the alternator is now...

Built exhaust for it yesterday. It went waaay better than it ever has in the past.
Hands down the best fitting system I have put on this car....

I'm about 99.9% sure it is not getting the 12v signal that tells it to start charging...... same problem I had with the Red 95GTS.

Just went out and yep, it runs. Had to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

Alternator isn't alternating... feel like I've been here before......

[BBR]

It's alive. It's finally alive!!

[BBR]

Weeeelllllll.... That was a good suggestion after all.

Well, my epiphany did not pan out.

What did pan out was the fact this car does not have the second ant-theft module.....

Yep,...

Car kicked my butt today.



BUT, I may have had an epiphany this evening that would explain it soooo simply. I'll update tomorrow....

[BBR]

Haha! Thanks for watching!

It is warehouse space at my office. So I just leave work and go out to the shop and wind down.

I found a spot in the crank sensor where I think there was a short. This sensor requires a 1k resistor between the source voltage and the signal wire...
