1967 Dodge D100

I don't know if the oil pressure sensor needs to be calibrated in the tune or if something is wrong, but I had 70 psi when I turned it off and 97 psi when idling.

I'm going to assume it's ~70 psi off at this point. At least it has oil pressure!

You know, say what you want about Dodge, but it would take GM another 21 years to make a hood hinge that worked and still not as functional.

I laid out the harness again. This time I shoved everything under the high ram. Looks a lot better IMO. (That big tangle on the right is all OE stuff and is probably going away.)

I ran the manifold pressure reference off the throttle body. I need another T to go the waste gate, but it should work ... I hate how it looks.

The list is getting shorter. Bolt up the coil packs and make my plug wires, I need a throttle cable and pedal, run all the wires from the battery in some loom and secure them, secure the fuel lines, make the clutch line work. Then I can finally install the QA1 IFS.

It runs again. I think 95% of the engine related stuff is done.

I don't know what I did this time, but when I fired up the T-X it read 0 psi for oil pressure and then 40 psi after starting. I'll take it. This is the original however many 100-thousand mile oil pump with a new pickup tube o-ring.

Put a muffler on it because I was getting some wonky AF readings, but now it is hitting the crossmember and making noise. AF readings are good though ... 13 at idle.

Looks like a slick slip keep up the work

So the pipe off the TB is actually a vent and not a source for manifold reference. I need to use one of those ports on the back of the intake.

Magnafuel ... you'll hear us coming.

I have a feeling it's going to get moved to the very rear of the truck at some point.

I picked up this here radiator from Entropy Rad, it's a 2-row Mopar car radiator of the scratch n' dent sale variety. Scratchin' my head how to make this work ...

I order a straight neck thermostat housing which should help a lot with the lower hose.

I think the cleanest solution to the problem would be to find someone who can tig weld and move the radiator inlet and outlet to the passenger side.
