After about 10 spurts of running the starter motor (with the coil disconnected) the oil light went off. That makes me feel better that the engine is ready for start-up again.

Because of the mix-up with the Hall sensor wires, I want to go through the calibration again. Last time I had a hard time seeing the timing mark on the blower cage, so I added a paint dab to the notch. (Note to self: next time do this during engine assembly.)

I also added a mark on the flywheel, 180° opposite of the standard mark, with a shallow drill mark and then paint.

One more thing before starting the engine again: install the air filters (and stop worrying about something falling in the throttle body stacks).

Looking great! Would you mind showing a better shot of how you set up your throttle cable system? Thx

Well, today was a kinda 3 steps backwards day. I checked everything and got my laptop connected.

The first problem was a funny reading from the throttle position sensor, initially showing 100% open when it was closed. I fooled around with the cable and plug, and found one wire pulling out of the plug connector. I fixed that, and it looked to read correctly.

I then tried to check the engine timing, but could not get the timing light to flash. I tried a number of setups with the light pickup without luck. Eventually I pulled plug #1 and found no spark. Argh.

About the same time, I saw some strange throttle position readings again. Now it looks like the position sensor is misbehaving. Argh again.

Solving the problems is half the fun. Enjoy the detective work. It'll be that much more satisfying when it's all sorted.

Still sorting out the EFI problems, and then I decided to work on something more tangible. I ordered a factory battery clamp since the only one I had is designed for an Optima batter.

But the vertical side of the clamp is very tall--too tall to get a good grip on the battery flange.

So I trimmed about 3mm from the lower edge, and then added this to the outside. (and repainted the clamp)
