After more than a year of working on this project it finally came to life tonight...... My wife under the wheel and me under the hood it fired and is running.... Need to get some tuning done for it has a very rough idle but will work on that.. The important thing is that its running on its own.... Plan to get a video tomorrow night or at least hope to... More as I get er done!!!!!

 

Great! Looking forward to the video!

 

Good to hear Mack!

 

2x on that

 

Can't wait for the video! Make sure to get close to the exhaust,I miss the sound of a real car!

 

Waiting to see if it is a Merry Christmas and nothing yet

 

Just a quick update... It moved under its own power today... Moved it from the work garage to the house garage. I believe I have a sensor shorting out or something.. Hard to start and even harder to keep it running... I had to move it because the family will be at our house on Sunday for gathering.. the only space bid enough for all 33 is our garage.. So have to convert from working shop to a eating, present opening and general party house.... Got that done today and will work on the Challenger on Monday.... Home all week next week so should get it done.. Or at least that is the plan.... Merry Christmas to all from our house to yours.... Mack

 

Quick reply on progress so far this week.... Discovered that when I changed main harness some of the wires were different colors and did different things... so finally got the air temp, water temp, and tps working right.. The BIG one was the map... It made all the difference in the world... Now need to fine tune the start timing and fuel mix. Still getting a pop once in a while when starting. And I may have to learn what the car wants to start... Anyway, making progress, but still didn't take the time for the video.. I was getting a lot done and just didn't want to stop for that... But hopefully today....

 

I'm glad that you were able to find the issues and get them corrected Mack. It doesn't sound like you have that much left to do.

 

Tim, you are right... Its all little things.. Radiator overflow bottle... Align the alternator... Pull one wire to fuel pump relay for manual switch for fuel checks..... And several more like that... But getting very close for sure.....
