I drove the stroker down the road last night, and man, its a death trap on wet roads with skin-bald tires. The first time I ever drove a V8 fox, and making it a 347 with TW heads was nasty, even with a stock TB!!! Never made it to 3000 rpm but it was pulling HARD even 1500-2500. Few problems, running hot (no fan, thermo never opened), Keeps stalling (Gotta drill that little hole in the TB a bit larger), alternator not charging(my buddy rebuilds them), ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS!!!! Turn the headlights on and I lose my tach, fuel, oil and temp guages, exterior lights work, no dash lights, but the high beam indication and both turn signal indicators come one  . Hopefully it will make it to MW, but it maybe the 4 banger for a second year. |

You need to check your grounds with the electrical issues. A loose or missing ground can cause your issues.

Yeah I think its a G100 issue, everything goes threw it that is having problems. Just working out the kinks.

Yeah, got the G100 problem fixed, now I have all gauges, lights, etc. Alternator checks good on the machine, but doesn't charge on the car, working on it now. This throttle is VERY touchy, nothing like my 2.3. Got 7 miles on the fresh motor, still runs a bit hot but I'm going to get a 3 row radiator and a fan for it tomorrow. 7 miles= 1/4 tank of gas tho, so maybe little silver may make another appearance @ MW( but it is a lot of idle time in there) . Got it to idle decent, hard stop adjustment. Still a death trap on wheels, super fast. I would show some pics, I know that comment was coming soon, but I have lost my USB cable for my camera.
