Funny thing with that fuse block..... the other night I was tinkering with my new ignition switch, adding the relay for the "ignition saver mod", and I needed a relay and holder. I thought I had some holders, but didn't. Then I remembered the pile of parts from the Bronco. Dug out the old tupperware fuse box and removed what I needed. Gotta love recycling. LOL

I source relay boxes from all over the junkyard all the time. Taurus's and early 90s T-birds are awesome. The Taurus relay box I'm going to use for the windows, I combined 2 of them into one so I have 8 relays in one box:


Ready it go in the door, someday:


The T-bird box I used for the truck, when I did the 3G conversion (you've done that to your Bronco, right?), has a Megafuse on the side that supplies power to everything so there's a lot less wires inside:



Sorry for all the pics, lol.

just this.

I heard your motor went kaboom.

it did. scottychiperstein here.


i got the rockers and valve springs off the old engine # 3 was was just blowing air out the exhaust port lol we know what was tapping now too. that valve must be trashed. after its back up and running ill tear it down for carnage pics.

also got my new flex, v band welded in, and the cat too. old flex was shot to hell too.

Had a look and made a deal on another GTP Coupe today. It is a white 97 and i will pick it up Friday.
There must be some meeting i can go to.. This will make 5 GTP coupes in my possession.

Left it at work and drove the truck home...again. That's the 2nd time I've done it this week.

I miss her.

The Ford hit 50k miles today and I missed the photo opp. Oh well. Needs an oil change now but it will have to wait. It's on that 1 oil change a year rotation since I got it. Bad I know. It sits if I don't drive it. It sits pretty much 95% of the time November thru April.

When you upgrade to 20" spinners I call dibs on your wheels. C'mon, spinners would look tight on your imp

Haha. Thanks, but no thanks. Spinners aren't exactly my cup 'o tea
If I did "upgrade", I would probably prefer to find some nice LTZ wheels. Wheels are something I haven't looked into for that car. I'm to cheap and nothing wrong with the stockers, so I'll keep rockin 'em.

Post in WTB. There are some sets out there. I was gonna get some but unlike Scott I'm not scared to grenade a tranny, so I'm saving for a cam

Oh yeah, might as well mention to stay on topic....I'm on corn as of today Felt odd hitting the yellow button at the gas station, but the car is liking it. Already it idles better, was lean at idle before. And I only had one early burp of KR. Tank still had 3 gallons of 93 in it.

Noob in me got the best of me while swapping injectors. I only got 4 hours of sleep since my 17hr drive home today. But just had to get it done. Totally forgot to crank engine to get fuel out of lines before I took rail off. So dumped gas all over and down injector holes. Then thought...bright idea...just pull plug wires and crank engine over, too tired to take plugs out. Forgot to pull fuel pump relay so I crank engine and a geyser of fuel sprayed out of my lines all over engine again. Yeah...but did I mention I'm burning corn now?
