So did psi give u a base tune and that's what your running with? I was going to go with that same exact route but since I installed cam, ls3 intake they said I would have to get it Dyno tuned and I couldn't find anyone in my area who would do it . So I'm going with mast ecm, harness since they sell a ly6 with my cam and have the tune spot on its just twice the $! But at least it's plug and go no Dyno tune needed

66 belair Hi, first and foremost that is a very nice car, second and the reason I'm here is, how did u manage to get 12 volts out of the ignition switch? I have looked at mine over and over and as soon as the key is turn to run it drops voltage. Thanks and again you have a nice ride

Yes, we'll sort of, I did the wiring myself and prob eliminated some grounds thinking it was unnecessary like the ones under the engine and the ones behind the heads, I bundled the grounds and placed them in one wire and bolted it to the front of the head the others like the one close to the maf and the one close to the temp sensor are intact. I feel like a dum---, for removing them.

The ignition is still the original for the car, I know something very simple could be the culprit but I can't figure it out, do you think it could be the computer, I installed the code reader and it says it can not communicate with the tcm or the fuel pump module, I had the vats removed but don't know if it was done right, what do you think?

If you have a stock ignition switch.......In the start position it would feed the full voltage thru the starter to the Distributor........then in the run position it would feed the resistor wire So......the power feed on a stock switch will only feed power in one position.......I changed to a aftermarket switch that powers in both positions.....

Nice build man! You'll enjoy the power of these l92 motors for sure.
Quick question, you said you installed a 07 truck pedal and it works good? Have you driven the car yet at all? I have a 08 l92 / 4l80e stock TB and a late model Corvette gas pedal and ran fine for a few hundred miles til recently. Now I have no idea what it could be. Do you know what your operating system is for the tune?

Yep, I've driven mine a ton. Still working perfectly! And yes, the 07 Denali pedal fit perfectly and is still working great. I kinda forget what OS we used on the base tune, but I believe we ended up with a tune from a Camaro, then enabled vvt, and modified it from there.
Hope that helps!

Hey nicke could you post a picture of the front air bag setup? I am doing like you and piecing my own kit together rather than buy the whole setup at once.
Specifically I'm looking for a picture of your front bag cups, and the way you relocated your shocks

I used some stock hard lines, and got adapters from a local hardware store to make them work. After spending a ton re-plumbing the fuel system, I went the budget route on the tranny lines, and used stuff I already had.
