What's it been? A year since I got Blackie running. I finally get it tuned to a daily driver status and should have been happy as a Lark then but what do I do? I sold the engine (w/90 hour's on the Hobbs) on the last Dawn Patrol GMR run. So I pulled the engine and began preparing Blackie for her transformation.
 Before I go any further check out my Jack Stands. Min height 19.5", 12 ton and should hold up to a 6.7 quake or direct nuclear attack.  And out she comes.   One thing you have to love about these cars is that you can remove an interior in 15 minutes. 30 min's if you have a console. This was one shot before the interior is gutted.  and an hour later I'm scraping tar floorboards.  |

Piece of cake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Learn how to open the connectors before you start cutting wires. They are all different but kind of the same. Is that rear view mirror controlled by the integrated module? The integrated module was a mystery box for me. I think it controls the dimmer on the dash. I finally deleted it. Looks like you have everything you need, hope you get the mirror working (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) In the end, if you need some extra Bg, Ry, Wr,… wire, let me know I may have some extra. |
