well, its been a long project, and i am down to the last bit before i fire the car up. i have a few questions on things i have been stuck on and have not been able to find specific answers to. the car have gone through a major electrical overhaul with ms2.
1) the ignition: i have msd 6a, blaster 3 and tach adapter, hei on hand (if needed) and modded stock distributer(6 point, not ze) do i have to gut the distibuters stock coil but still tap the into the middle wire of the 3 pin plug to the distibuter to get the tach signal? do i have to set up the hei for this to work, or is all the msd gear going to take care of the igniter problems?
2) i have a gm coolant temp sensor and pigtail, not installed yet. do i need this one or is the stock one just as good?
3) gm air intake temp sensor: the one i got from napa is all plastic and seems to need to push into a rubber bung. should this be placed just ahead of the throttlebody? if it is just a push in sensor, how well will it seal once there is lots of boost being pushed passed it? i would think it mught be forced out of its hole
4)oil catch can: from all the reading ive done on this on this forum, all i can find is that it is suppossed to get its positive air pressure from the intake pre turbo, so it sucks the oil vapors from the top end, not from the pcv, but from the hose coming from the front valve cover, and from the back valve cover. but i was thinking that if i did that,the turbo would be sucking alot of pressure from the valve covers, is this safe?
5) and finally i bought a gm 3 bar map sensor with the pigtail, does anyone know how to hook these up? there is a vacuum, and then the electrical points are A C and B.
