I'll get out to one eventually I'm sure. I stay pretty busy with my 3 1/2 year old and travel quite a bit with work so free time is slim. Cars and Coffee is right around the corner from my office, but it always seems to fall on days I have things going on.

Not much progress in the way of pics this past week. Lots of little stuff done though. The controller on the cooling fan went to crap so I gutted it and wired up a standard ECM triggered relay setup, polished the headlights/corner lights, installed the inner fenders and some of the bumper plastics. Yesterday I got the speedo and temp sensor hooked up. I bought a new temp sensor from Oreilly's however it must have been bad, once it's up to temp the guage swings straight from cold to hot. I tried adding resistors and everything, I'll dig around in the parts boxes and see if I can find the original one and give it a test. The speedo is triggered by the vss output I wired on one of the ECM outputs. It's calibrated to a standard GM output signal which puts it about 55% fast. I'll see if I can get that squared away on EFILive tonight Too bad my temp and speedo needles decided to die . Weather is good enough I might be able to put down some tuning runs in Mexico and tweak the tune a bit. Should be pretty close to start adding in some timing.

Anyone doing anything this Saturday? I don't have my kiddo and it looks like the weather is going to be pretty nice out.

Have to admit I never knew there was cars and coffee in JAX, been to them in Dallas and Austin and just assumed JAX was too small!! Where/When?

I believe it's the second saturday of each month at Tinseltown, not positive though. I'm sure someone can chime in and clarify.

guardrail is correct for every 2nd Saturday, but C&C is held downtown at the Times Union Bldg. off of Riverside Ave.

Tinseltown is where the local CL people meet at on the same night.

BTW like direction you're heading with this!
