well, after the machinist told me to weld a chain to my old motor and make an anchor out of it, i got a new one from aircooled.net. just dropped it in a bit ago, but i have a few problems. first i noticed while cranking the motor that the oil pressure hit 60psi, much higher than my old one did even when it was reving and reving. i am concerned, should i be? i didn't even have the motor open other than to adjust the valves
next, on the old motor, there was a drilled out hole that the thermostat was connected to and the new one doesn't have it. i just have the flappers set to wide open, is this not okay. if not, i'll try to figure out how to mount the bracket to shrouding. is it normally mounted to the motor, the shrouding, or how? the hole in the old motor looked home made.
lastly, i had a labeling mix up when working on the coil, and low and behold, there is no spark :-(. i have a bunch of wires and 2 poles on the coil. i have a big fused red wire (14g), an unknown black wire from the wiring harness, an unknown gray wire from the harness, a tach, and a wire going to the carb (choke and fule sensor). Can somebody tell me which wire goes on which side (+ and -).
thanx 1,000,000
