Re: First time swap started
Well that is better news about the speedo. I have to admit, I giggled just a little over the radiator hose. I will let you know about my bad karma for that when it happens.

I think with the old (bad) radiator cap the system wasn't building to full pressure, and with the new one it finally got high enough to blow coolant past the clamp/neck and all over. It's especially annoying since I've had leaking coolant issues from the get go. Thermostat housing to pump - check. Replaced thermostat that has new seal - still leaked. Added coolant safe sealant to housing - ghetto fixed. (apparently there's a newer design to the pump/housing but we'll do that someday) Reducer fitting for the steam line to radiator - leaked. Cap - leaked. Now bottom hose - leak. |

Re: First time swap started
Definitely sounds like you have a bad connection in the speedometer somewhere. How did you attach the power, ground and speed signal wires to the circuit board of the speedometer?

I was thinking of just soldering them right to the pins to secure them. |
