Got rid of the ebay fan that blew air like a little biatch. Replaced it with a fan from a cavalier. Fits perfect with some trimming. This ones blows air like a baws.
What year cavalier was that fan from? It’s hard to beat a 90’s Taurus fan. Pretty much a necessity to flow 5000-6000CFM with a small radiator IMO. Not saying the cavalier won’t work, just curious if I can look up the flow.

I have issues and used advanced IDLE timing/VE control due to the non-linear 160lb injectors. 17-22* should idle like stock with 80lb injectors. I was just mentioning the higher you have the timing the higher the idle will be. Dropping it down to 9* from 38* and it should lower the idle down to something more manageable until he can find his leak. I’m sure with a wide open dump it’s not pleasant working on the car at that RPM.
I’d suggest pressurizing the whole system with shop air and hosing it down with soapy water. If no major leaks show, take another look at the idle bypass port. Curious how he blocked it off…
Took it for a long ride. Drove it for about an hour or so
For some reason my alternator is not charging. It shows 14.5 volts with it running and never drops, but the second i turn the car off and try to start it again the battery is drained.
i have the brown wire plugged on the alternator to a 5 volt source with a light bulb instead of the resistor.
any help on this?
So with a volt meter the alternator is charging 14v and if you shut the car off, then immediately try to turn it back on the battery is dead? Or it's draining the battery down over time when it's off?
I use 12v to the brown wire with a 500 ohm, 1/2 watt resistor which drops voltage down to 8.x I believe. Never had an issue. I believe its the older 98 camaro alternator though.

The alternator came with the long block i pulled from a 2004 tahoe.
My volt guage reads 14.5 with it running, never drops while im driving. But than when i shut it off after driving for a while the battery is dead.
