New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #75 – February 18, 2012, 09:36:02 PM Productive day, but not productive enough. Lots to do tomorrow. I got all new fuel lines ran. I used a 6an push-lok hose from the rails to a bulkhead behind the pass strut tower. From there I used 3/8" aluminum line. One to the tank. One to a 40 micron filter. Currently using a frame-mounted 85 Bronco fuel pump. I drained the gas tank and drilled a hole for a return fitting a put a nut on the back side with a nylon washer.molestedMade a couple of trips to Lowes, O'reilly's, and Auto Zone. I did get the 5-lug axles and drums swapped out and the rear wheels.molestedTomorrow is wiring and hopefully getting the struts bolted back up. I EXPECT the car to run tomorrow.molested Quote Selected

New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #77 – February 19, 2012, 10:32:04 AM I will try to use all of them. AC and power steering hoses will need to be custom though. Quote Selected

New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #79 – February 19, 2012, 11:36:13 AM Got the struts bolted up and started putting the brakes on. I screwed up and bought the wrong rotors. Heading to pick-a-part now for Mark 7 rotors. Quote Selected

New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #81 – February 20, 2012, 01:43:24 PM Still can't get this thing to start. I'm almost positive I have it wired correctly. TFI and PIP tested good. I've triple checked the timing, but I get no spark. Quote Selected
New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #83 – February 20, 2012, 10:46:17 PM New coil and PIP.PIP is now showing 0.4v. Even the new one. I don't know what happened. A few hours earlier it was ranging between 3.85 and 4.5v?? I put in a 4cyl computer for shiznits n' grins and it still shows the same voltage. I've looked at countless schematics and read several articles. Battery voltage is 11.5v and I've got grounds connected everywhere. WTF?? Quote Selected
New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #84 – February 21, 2012, 07:08:51 PM It runs as of 11:30am. I've been finishing up some things since then. Still have more to do tomorrow. My new ler showed up and it's HUGE. 3" Magnaflow. Overall length is 24"!! I could probably fit one of my 2yr olds in it. Sending it back to Summit and getting a refund. Local ler will be doing a full custom exhaust as soon as I finish up what I need to. Quote Selected

New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #86 – February 21, 2012, 08:37:34 PM TFI module. Even though I tested it, somehow it was sending a bad tach signal. I had a 2.3L TFI module laying around an swapped it in. Fired right up! Quote Selected
