Then it goes into the car so I can complete wiring and fire it up The machine shop is going to complete my short block in the next week or so. Then I need to buy a few more parts as cash comes in. Damn its always about more cash I need to take on a part time engineering job to make extra dough so I can get my own stuff done.
BUT some one has to pay the bills around this place! 
Well it didnt even take the nitrous for the rear-end to make itself heard again. 
Car runs great now though, a definate difference in performance. Need to fill the bottle but I'm not sure its a good idea with the rear being the way it is. Was pretty freaking loud on the way home 
. I know putting the interior of the car back in will help a little but not that much 
it not a high pitch whine now as much as a low tone growl, kind of a metal knashing metal scraping excuse to have the stereo up to loud, 373's mr tom please

I think the extensive time that the pinion was loose probably caused irrepairable damage to the gears. Running a few passes on a load bearing dynanometer was just the straw that broke the camels back
At least we hit the target Hp numbers you were looking for and I am glad to hear drivability is improved as well. I will check on a set of 373 gears and all the bearings as well. I am sure that with all the metal floating around, all the bearings will be needing replacement.

If the connector did not match then you had the wrong harness or the sender had been changed at some point.
All '94 C4's have a 4-position connector for the fuel sender.

Well work is done. Tom can explain the damage better but basically the bearing in front was trashed. Luckily he got to it before it tore up the housing or I'd have been looking at a 12 bolt.
