Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

More progress. Got the turbo piping done and painted. I found my weldments and welded a bung in the cold pipe for a boost gauge, and 2 in the hot pipe at the engine. One for a boost reference to the AFC housing, and the other for a boost gauge. Nick got the injection pump put on, he timed it to 26* I believe, vac/ps pump is on, and I got the oil feed line for the ip and vac pump on. I got the intake plate put on with a new gasket, and cleaned and painted the grid heater. I ended up swapping my ps pump for one we had laying around that is for hydraboost so I didn't have to monkey with a T in the return line for both of them. Next thing to do is paint my heater housing, and get a throttle bracket set up.
