Nice work Jeff.. Hee hee hee.
Scaffy I'd wait to see what Dim has to say about the 'state' of the engine. I cannot remember if you're running the Street Heat or Track Heat intake. If its the Street one, don't bother changing back to the Explorer it really isn't going to be any improvement.

I have the Street Heat intake. I don't think it'll be getting in to Dim's any time soon as he's pretty busy. It looks like it'll be a little while from now before I get it all sorted, but I'm happy to wait to get it done properly. It'll give me a chance to get a few bits and pieces together!

Scaffy, taken from another thread about the fuel pressure guage. Now you've got it fitted, what pressure is it at? With vacuum connected and dis-connected.
Also are you running an adjustable fuel reg?

I've got myself an adjustable fuel pressure reg but haven't fitted it as I don't want to f**k s**t up. Will leave it for someone who actualy knows what they are doing.
Fuel pressure is about 37-38 (psi?) One question I have, which may sound silly but I need to ask, should it hold pressure all the time whilst it's not runing, or is it normal for the pressure in the line to drop off to 0 overnight? As for with vacuum line connected and disconected, I don't even know where that is!

Pressure should bleed back overnight, but should be at the preset when the car is primed, ie turn the key but dont start it

Yeah, when primed it's at about 40, then drops off a couple when running.

I just thought I'd post a couple of pics of the engine bay in the build thread as well. It looks a hell of a lot better than it did in page 5!

Paint the eggcrate shaped coolant tank black and that will suit it nicely, not like you can really see through it anyway.

Good idea mate. I've been looking at getting one of the polished ones in there though. I'll probably give that a crack now. Cheers

Thanks. A while back I hit it with the air compressor, then with a rag and windex I pretty much went over everything. After that, if it was black it got a taste of Armour All. Now it's just a matter of wiping it down whenever I delve under there.
Yeah mate, bring it around and I'll clean it while you're having a few beers watching. Oh, I'll supply the beers too!

I got a new coolant overflow from ford and it made the bay look finished and clean.

For a while now, my car's seemed to be running pretty rich. It's been a bigger pig at low speeds and coming to a stop than it normally is which I've felt may be caused by the richness. When I back it into the garage the strong smell of fuel was pretty bad. Also, after getting it serviced last week, my mechanic said I really need to pull some fuel out of it as he believes I'd gain a bit more out of it.
On Friday I was toying with the idea of hooking up the laptop and pulling a bit of fuel out of it myself. Just as anyone reading this would be thinking this is a bad idea, after about 10 minutes I thought the same thing. In the end I thought that the tune can't have changed since it was tuned by Terry and I'm sure the twEECer's not going to change the tune itself, so it came down to the EEC. I disconnected the battery for a while (head units should have inbuilt memory to save settings!) and after reconnecting it, I went for a drive and noticed a big difference. It had much better manners when driving normally, sounded a lot crisper and felt smoother under load and didn't stink of fuel in the garage when I got back. I guess the EEC was doing some funky s**t to try and counter some of the settings in the twEECer? Next thing, when I got it serviced I was told that the diff plug has been stripped. When my mechanic went to undo it, it just spun. He's left it as is for now and said I should try and get hold of another rear hat or whatever it's called. Would anyone happen to have one laying around for an EL by any chance? I'll have to get this fixed pretty quickly I'm thinking...

I've got the diff plug sorted. A rubber one will be going in tomorrow. I ended up finding a couple of diff hats but they wanted $80+ for them! Considering the whole diff goes for about $220, it's a bit rich.
With a nice, cold day tomorow and what looks to be a pretty cool evening, I think I'll head down for what may be my last run for the season. See if I can get lower than the 13.9s I've managed so far. Will anyone else be making their way down?
