Picked up a center console from a friend so now I have a matching interior

The car it came out of was totaled and you can't tell how nasty it was when I got it but...












I also got a good headliner that came out of the same car. It came out of a 89 so it has the swivel map light so I need to drill a couple holes to mount it so there isn't a gaping hole in the front of the headliner lol.

I ditched the stop FPR and installed an adjustable FPR and pressure gauge yesterday......it seems to run smoother now. I did notice that it picks up a little more above 5k.

I set the fuel pressure at 43 with the vac line off so it drops to about 35-38ish..I don't remember exactly...

Well I decided to ditch the mechanical oil pressure gauge that I had out on the cowl today and picked up a stock sending unit so my gauge in the cluster works....

I got tired of the sun light reflecting off of it at times and blinding the **** out of me....then last night after I got my tach light working again I was getting annoyed by having an extra lit gauge on 3 different sides of me...tach on the right, oil pressure in the middle and my temp gauge to my left..

BOOM!

there goes that motor.

Lol.....I have faith in my motor....Once I get a gauge cage, a 3 gauge pillar or pod for the cowl I will put it back on the car but until then.....

Well everyone I am happy to announce that the 93 made it on the 1200 miles across the country with no issues under its own power! I got a best of 24.7mpg so I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Now that I am back in Indiana the weather is about to the point where it is time to park the car for the winter and cover it up..... This is the one thing I wasn't looking forward to with this move lol. I probably won't park it for good until the ice hits so once they start throwing down the salt and sand it done for the winter.

There really isn't much else to do with the rebuild now that I have a complete car....the interior is complete, it is now has a good running EFI motor, and its definitely reliable..The wife even tried getting me to let her drive it to the store yesterday and she would NEVER ride in it lol....that was a definite NO

Anyway, like I said the car can't get rebuilt from the dead much more so I am now gonna stop posting updates on this thread but I will leave it open for the rest to reply!!

Thanks for the support everyone!!!
