No doubt! Looks great Connie. Cant wait to be there, and see in person

Thanks very much GD. I suspected that it would be a tach signal. I heard the relay clicking up there somewhere.... have to investigate. :cool:

Hey everybody, Im sure this has been covered SOMEWHERE before, but can anyone enlighten me as to what tells the factory fuel pump on a 1984 Brat to pump fuel *all* the time? I turn the key *on* and the pump cycles for a second (primes) ... then shuts off. (This is for the EJ swapped Brat BTW) Im just using the factory pump to fill the surge tank under the hood, but its not going into RUN mode for some reason. (the ECU controlled fuel pump works fine... should I just run a parallell relay off that control wire?) Thanks very much!

That sounds really good!

Very nice. I was wondering if it was gonna stay in the USMB family. That brat is one of the nicest that I know of... and is the same color as mine. { :EDIT: well, the same color as the BACK half of mine } congrats!

Employment is WAY over-rated. ...at least FULL time employment. :-\

Also beware if youve not much practice at welding sheet metal. Steel that thin can pull out of line... badly. I always build a little overlap into what Im doing.

Nobody mentioned a good medical kit/snakebite kit and first aid manual yet. ESPECIALLY if youre out there for a long time, it may save someone's life. Funny how fast the "focus" changes when somebodys hurt.

That looks like a phase II EJ22 to me. Tough to tell *exactly* what year car it is out of though.

You can always trailer it to Carlisle.

Might wanna change the rear main seal on your engine while youre in there.

Ah, yes. Where IS my head? Incidentally, HTKYSA has 2 options listed for pulling a motor. One is "using a hoist" ... the other is "using a neighbor" Wasnt sure about doing this with the weight of an ER27 though I could bring a LONG 4X and we could get 2 people on each side.

That has been our anthem this spring. (Jess and I)

Nice. :cool:

I could probably *make* a hoist out of some angle iron and a bottle jack... but it would take a good portion of the morning. :-\ Better to just rent a hoist. :cool: Now about all this Finnish stripping.... ???

I believe that Jess and I are "in" Will you have LB on the road by then U think? ...and you WERE renting an engine hoist right? (or should I bring the tractor?)

ROFL ... you just wanted to use those!

They are indeed. 175 mm width

This is why I come here.

That would help. .... dont pick on me TOO much, or I might just bring the TRACTOR.

Most likely.

I would be and this would be Connie beating me >

I do still work for Penske, so I *could* tow... but the plan is to bring a (different) brat this year with (significantly) more power.

BUCKY WITH A SKIDPLATE! What did you think? (sorry for the heart-check Connie) Stole an ea82 skid plate from one of the Loyales we have "out back" and threw it on the 'ol Buckster. It was the best 2-minute modification Ive ever done. And now Buckys oil pan, etc is protected from harsh conditions... like my driveway. (for those who don't know, he never came with one) Does YOUR 2WD have a skidplate?!

Darlingchip and I still have to register... but we're coming for sure! Paul : We'll miss you and your 78! That was sweet last year. :cool:
