Well, after a long day the Omni is back together.... As I've told the mailing list before, I recently purchased an 85 GLHT with low miles. My goal for this car is an inexpensive, quick grocery getter. This weekend, I changed the timing belt, alternator, waterpump, drive belts, hoses, thermostat, and radiator. I also replaced all of the flexible brake lines with braided stainless steel lines, new rear brakes, and ebrake cables, new front caliper/pads, and rear shocks. In addition to all of the above, I dropped in the K&N, Stage II (14PSI) computer, and OEM Chrysler AMFM CD Cassette Radio. Oh, and the coolant temp sensor, oil sending switch, oil pressure transducer, and heater core lines.
The car feels real strong and pulls better than when I first got it....scary fast. My plans for tommorrow are change the tranny fluid. I picked some Redline Dextron II ATF for the A525. Then see what is going on with the shifter linkage. The stick feels very vague and finding second is sometimes challenging. I have some new linkages from FWDperformance but I think the isolator might be gonzo. I also want to play around with the F/A gauge and boost gauges I picked up. I have to exchange the quality Autozone rebuilt alternator that I bought. The 'new' alternator's bearings are giving off a wonderful high frequency chirp. Does anyone have an opinion on how best to tap the system to attach the gauges? The simplest approach would be to tap in a the logic module (the easy side of the firewall) for the O2 sensor wire and map sensor pressure. Ideally, you want to measure what the throttle body sees for pressure - at the throttle body. Also, I am concerned that resistance in the O2 sensor line wold be less at the O2 sensor and be more accurate. -----------------------REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING---------------------------- Questions?
