Default v3 s-trim install

ok, well for you guys that have installed this that werent running a smog pump, what did you do for belt routing? and what did you use to make the intake into the back of the charger work, it doesnt really fit because the fuel rail is in the way? i can get it to work but it requires some mods to the pieces they sent me plus giving up my fuel pressure gauge.

I just bent my rail a tad and reshaped it to work and I ran a smog emiminator pulley where the pump went and used a cobra overdrive pulley for the water pump and a windstar p/s pulley, I did all that so it'd work with my p/s relocation kit,

ok, i thought about the smog pump eliminator but the bracket that comes up from the alternator is bent at the end at 90degrees, like it would connect to the side of the pump. and that pulley bracket doesnt have a hole in the side of it does it? i know there is the one hole that runs the whole way through, and the one on the back side. ill try to get pics later to better describe what im talking about. lol

ok, got her installed, fired right up, i went with .034 on spark plug gap, and left the timing where it was. Is that gap size good, and do i have to advance the timing more than what it would run without the SC or retard it a little bit. plan on just loading it onto the trailer on tuesday and getting it tuned so not going to drive it really at all. just want it somewhat close for the guys at DEZ racing.

if you don't plan to romp on it before the tune, leave it be and don't romp on it and let the tuner via a chip set the timing tables
