Just Peachy OB project
#886
Reminds me of the story of the old sailboat guy, just before bed he is saying his prayers and says, "Lord forgive me, I rode in a powerboat today, and liked it." Will that be Stan; "Lord forgive me, I worked on a LS engine today and liked it"?
Why did you need a new engine harness?

I know how to change the coolant and oil on a LS 3 engine
the harnes was swapped because it got water damage and was also showing internal shorting and at this point it was easier to swap in a new part than try to repair the old harness
That said I did get my eyes on a new Corvette TT and auto transaxle that will fit into a 928 just gotta figure the engine part

Most of the GM engine harness damage was caused from a loose negative battery strap...moisture took over from there. Tom JP unfortunately will not make it to Frenzy this year. T

Thanks to the help of Stan, JP will be very well sorted out mechanically, and when the interior wiring is finished it will, once again, be an awesome car. Tony spares no cost when it comes to making things right.
We also encountered an issue with factory new shock dust covers not fitting properly onto Koni shocks. We acquired a special tool (Stan knows the name of it) and the dust covers are easily modified to fit properly. Again, I learned a bunch more from Stan's excellent wrenching skills.
New dust boot
Water damaged connector
Fried fuse
Water damaged connector
Leftover pieces of old dust boots someone used for spacers on the shocks
Mmmm, nah
Duh
Really?

Here are some pictures of the correct spring alignment and the tool used to correct the shock dust boot inner diameter to fit onto the Koni shocks.

Thanks for the pictures Carl.
This is a rewiring job that really has to be seen to fully grasp the depth of commitment thats needed to see through.
Carl is a wiring wizard, and perfection is how he rolls,
thanks for letting me watch, I have been learning.
That tool we got at HD and it made the plastic hole just right to fit over the slightly thicker Koni shock piston

Tony,
I have read about 1/3 of this thread and am simply amazed by your "Just Peachy" project. Can't wait to see it in person!
And as an aside, the Merc is a much better value for money car than the Tesla for Tambra... But you know that...
Enjoy!

Cluster, etc...
Recently purchased a late model digi-dash for this OB from Mark A, (will be loading it up with LED's), four new connectors w/pins, an early 89 non-airbag combo switch from a fellow RL'r, and wired the HVAC head to work with the Infinity Box system. Carl (FLYVMO) doing a bang up job putting it all together T

A rare bird..an early MY89 combo switch sans airbag to control the digi-dash. The four connectors/pins now installed took Carl 5 hours...and a few sore fingers T
