Hollister Hoodlum

But quick update on my stang. I got my 88 block in, nothing special done to it yet, just has all new gaskets, oilpan, waterpump timing chain cover etc etc... and an edelbrock rpm air gap intake. I have my nitrous lines ran, i just need to install the spacer, however it won't clear my hood so i have to get a new hood before i can do that -_- but oh well. It looks alot better, and sounds a little bit louder, i put on new bbk headers instead of the ebay $50 ebay headers it had, and put on a bbk off road h pipe. I think it turned out pretty good though for it being my first time ever doing this, i'm 17, did everything myself, my brother only helped me with the engine hoist.

And one question, i have it running, it runs... but it has an electrical drain or something somewhere. i have replaced the voltage regulator, starter, starter solinoid, and have a new section of the wiring harness i bought from foxresto. It keeps killing my battery. i have replaced it twice now with a ultramax battery or i think thats what it is... I had the alternator tested and it passed or whatever. i had it tested at 3 different places just to make sure. Does anybody have any idea or tip as to what it could possibly be... i'm open to anything... thanks for your help.

Heres a few pics... one before and a few after.

oh i'm going to... i planned on either a holley or a demon carb, the one i have cuts out really really bad... it upsets me when i put the pedal down and it does alright till about 3k then it gets really choppy... even had it tuned by my friends dad at his race shop. never liked the crapper.

check your grounds or crossed wires

where's the dual snorkal air cleaner at?? what did the lid say? was it a sticker on it or imprinted lettering on it??? as for the drain, hook a multimeter set to amps in series with the neg battery terminal and pull fuses until drain on meter is removed and from there grab a wiring diagram of that circuit with the drain and unplug components on that circuit until drain is gone and there you will find the prob

It's there.

When are you going to convert that back to (4eye)??

I know it's in the before pic = 1st pic, I was more so refering to the 3 after pics, may be that he removed it just to showcase the improvements

i had a drian and my battery would die also, check you connections to your altenator and make sure that its getting juice. if the power wire for it is a little big put a washer behind it and re bolt it all down. and you should to a 3g alt upgrade
