Matt doesn't have bad luck, he just experiences great adventures....

Seriously, that car is a beast and it's not even done yet.

Update soon!!

If it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.

Thanks guys! Yea my car likes to push my buttons for sure!!! It was an Earl 3/8 to AN fitting and I think when I pulled the intake forward it pushed the clip off some and then finished when I was driving.....

Car feels great and very responsive... It is ready for a tune as soon as Merv works his magic!!

It's not that bad..I expected worse in a way..then again when you said it was just a flash fire I kinda expected how it is. Being a Fire Fighter I have seen how stuff burns, and I've seen some **** get dominated..lol..

Few hours worth of work..strip the junk and re-tape the whole thing..I'll clean it up. Only one wire needs replacing, I'll have to add an eyelet to the ground wire.

Check your Alternator for the Connector that's missing..

Alternator does have the connector....although it is broke flush so I will need a new one....

Thanks for taking care of it for me Ben....I was scared I would need a entire new harness...then I remembered who I was dealing with and figured no big deal!!

I used to repair avionics for the E/A-6B, I had a few power supplies get smoke checked really good. Even had a plane go down in the drink, they pulled out gear and asked us if we could fix it, every box I opened looked like road tar and smelled like death.

There's no confusion, you know why you accepted the money....Although, I think he got ripped off, you usually do that for free.....
