Pretty sure you will need an additional sensor for sequential . That one wheel can’t do it all . Maybe you misunderstood them. Still- I’m only running wasted spark and it’s still light years ahead of a dizzy

I like the fuel pressure transducer. Great safety addition. 

BTW, I have been appropriately chastized and have updated my thread. Thanks for reminding me.

In line fuel pressure sensor.

Found some time to strip the cowl down. Couple layers of paint but otherwise beautiful condition. A little surface rust to deal with on the bottom side.

[wheee!]

My plan is to coat the underside with ospho and then clean it off and 2K prime it.

Turned out the nice yellow fender was actually a repop! Made in Taiwan. Apparently a little sculpting was needed too. Still a great rust free fender!

Wow! They weren't shy about using filler!

The dent was so easy to dolly out too. Took all of 15 minutes. The rest of the panel had been skim coated too. Thicker in some places like near the headlight bucket.

Yeah, I don't get why people do that. Basic dolly work is pretty easy.

It's an art to be able to apply bondo so thick. He was probably a pastry chef in another life.

That car is going to be quite a few kilos lighter when you a finished. Car is looking good and coming along nicely.
