What were you referring to, goalie? The connector or the drop coils? I'll text you my address anyway...

But I figured that since you and derf were moderators, you could view info on the other users(like our birthday we have to put in to join)

So, I think I have successfully rigged my clutch... I had a round piece of rubber about a quarter inch thick (and about an inch and a quarter in diameter) that I jammed in the bracket that the clutch pedal swings up into, preventing the excessive uptravel of the clutch... I might thin it a little and allow a little bit of play in an effort to keep it from constantly applying pressure to the clutch pedal...

imma send the connector this week, because you need it. Springs will be a surprise now.

Yay for surprises! I really appreciate the port too! Maybe I can finish my car soon...

Well, I meant,"finish this phase"... After doing the OBD port and the CASE learn, I'm gonna tackle this low vacuum/crappy idle issue... I sprayed the crap outta the lower intake, and around the supercharger gasket and around the TB gasket, and it didn't idle up or anything... I used a whole 5oz can trying to find a leak, and found nothing... Even cleaned the TB thinking that something wasn't letting it close completely, but no such luck...

Hey, I'll still make good on that free soldering iron. and I will throw in some heat shrink of different sizes cause I don't know which one you need and I have at least 6 feet of each one I could find at an electronics store.

No crimpin'

Apparently the o-rings on the injectors can cause a crappy idle.
Derf, you beat me to the heat shrink thought.

Actually I have the heat shrink lying around here somewhere... I've done lots of audio installs, some professionally, but I've never soldered a wire(yes I disclosed that to any client)... I used a complex twist, then wrapped with electrical tape, then followed up with heat shrink...

And the injector o-rings can cause vacuum loss? Any way to test them? Or just replace and hope for the best... At this rate, I'm about to do another compression test on #4 to see if it's gotten much worse... It still does crank over evenly though...
