Wow that was time consuming. I dropped the volt meter like a moron so there is a little dent in the bezel and it doesn't seem to read proper voltage... so I don't know if it's because of dropping or because of inpropper wiring.
Still need to hook up the Tach wiring to the MSD box and the RPM switch.
Should be fun though! Night pic didn't come out as good as it really is. I think it looks hot.

| That, and there is a little round item to the left of the steering wheel. That's the most important part! |

Haven't played with the "light" yet. Still need to hook up the Tach/RPM switch for that.
Bought the adjustable RPM selector that plugs into the pill slot. So I can set it to whatever without those stupid pills. |

| Not sure. It's the smallest one I could find, so it fits in that slot nicely without cutting any holes or having something gawdy. Find out tomorrow! |

Well the volt meter was hooked to C1 pin 14 which the book said was "voltage" but when you look at the wiring diagram the power is hooked to C1 Pin 2 with the fuel gauge and both grounded. So I fixed that.
Installed the RPM switch and adjuster and the shift light works great. It could be a little brighter during the day... but knowing that it was coming I noticed it just fine with the tops off and the sunglasses on. It's PERFECT at night.
Definitely feels faster not over-revving.
Awesome.
We'll see how it does. |

Nice, but you know that shift lights are for pussies right.
Real men shift when the valves float.  |

I'd remind you to bring a helmet, but seeing as how you wont make it off the line, I guess there really isn't a point.  |

Your in trouble Paul, took it out tonight for some testing and the posi is working good. Also stepped up the jets in the carb so it will be perfect at PIR's elevation.
It's pretty damn fast right now.  |
