    This was actually yesterday but..... Still fighting early shifts when the car is warm. I have a spare coil that I was going to move from spot to spot because people here keep telling me that it is a coil. It has been in the same location for a while now with no change. I was going to move it to the next spot but instead took it out. I still believe that it is calculating load incorrectly, most likely from a vacuum issue or an incorrect vacuum reading. After putting back in the original coil I pulled the PCV valve, cleaned it and put it back in. I also noticed that the rubber piece that connect the PCV to the hard tube was not the most secure so I put zip ties on both ends.

    I am not completely ready to call it fixed but I drove around for 20 minute and it shifted perfectly the entire time. If this turns out to be the fix I don't know if I should be glad it is fixed for little to no money or pissed that it took me this long to check the PCV. It normally starts acting up within 5 minutes of driving so I am optimistic.

    Next up is to clean the goo off of the steering wheel controls.

    Finally figured out what the issue was with my 14" brake swap. https://www.mercurymarauder.net/foru...03#post1585103

    Installed new headlights...broke a clip on the front grille when removing the passenger side headlight. Aggravating, but it isn't very noticeable.

    Installed four new door striker bushings.

    Now if I can just figure out the odd squeak coming from the front passenger side, I can move onto working on the truck.

    Started it, changed oil & filter & readied it to drive (hopefully next week!).

    Polished up my new 4" Megs tips & listened to the awesome new exhaust note.

    Next need to give it a bath, its filthy!

    Removed my column pod, have to do some custom work with it to relocate it as the AFR gauge is thick enough that the steering wheel rubs it when turning.

    I finally de-gunked the steering wheel controls yesterday. No more sticky gummy mess. What to do next.....

    When I made my trip to Mo's & FL last November, my fuel gauge quit. Stuck on Full from Atlanta to Cocoa FL to home. So first thing after pulling out of storage I dropped the fuel hat and replaced sender. While I had it out I also installed an Aeromotive 340 fuel pump. Extremely easy job, miles of room, pulled from tank and it drops down between airbag and over-axle pipe. Piece of cake!



    Cut the 3-wire harness to fuel tank pressure sensor at the 1/2 way mark and installed Weather-Pack connector.


    One thing I did have trouble with, the fuel strainer that comes with the Aeromotive 340 is too big. When u slide the hat assembly in it hits the side of tank and won't let the assembly drop in place. Ordered OEM one from Rock Auto, installed it and the hat assembly dropped right in place


    Fuel gauge now works! And Aeromotive 340 purring like a kitten - runs great!

    I had a problem with the senders on aftermarket hats, I installed two and the gauge was stuck on E and check engine light lit on both of them, drive Me nuts. Finally moved a new pump over to the old had and plugged it in, and it worked great! Strange how it's only a few wires to the damn thing and the aftermarket pumps worked fine, just the senders didn't.

    I use the slimmer socks from either the 98-02 or the Aero bodies (can’t recall) on both the 340’s and they flow fine. Anyways they simply plugged right on just much smaller.

    I’ve had one 340 for must be close to 10 years now that hums nice and quiet. The second one I added probably 5 years ago sounds like it’s got sand in it since birth but flows equally just as well as the first one.

    Installed the stock hood to try and hush up the oh so annoying air rushing out of the Big Red and Tial valves.

    HUGE difference! Like half or more. In fact I mostly hear the F1 gears meshing more than the air escaping now where I never heard the blower before really.

    Also I ordered up some front Corvette calipers and pads to go with my brackets and SS lines I’ve had collecting dust for like three years or more now. Last up is to order the rotors and install. So maybe by 2022?

    I’m just beyond lazy anymore.. I figured I’d purchase the stuff that isn’t so readily available or easily discontinued and the rest could wait.

    The brakes have really started to pulsate in the last couple of years but with annual mileage +/- 1,000 anymore it’s funny to see just how long stuff can seem to last.
