This is great work. Now I have been researching about doing this for myself. During my research (internet searching) I saw that the C5 hub bearing packs come with a wire harness plug out the back. What did you do with this? Can it just be eliminated since it is for a system not on my 1987 Caprice? Great video

@@josephkennedy3099 thank you! I am running C7 hubs which do not have the connector you are referencing. They bolt right on. And are supposed to have a larger bearing than the c5 and c6 hubs.

so does this bypass the need for the holley CD Ignition Box???
@LugNutLang23 күн бұрын
You still need the Sniper Coil driver, or a traditional ignition box. The ECU can’t drive the coil itself. But this eliminates the need to buy the hyperspark distributor or hyperspark CD box

Right at 5:56 where you were able to turn the shaft and rotor is a clue that the distributor has mechanical advance. Nice video overall.

That definitely should have been a clue. The truth is I have a lot more familiarity with EFI than with mechanical and analog ignition. Definitely always learning!

So clean it out and move on!! We have all been there. It's just what happens. Mouse poop and pee, Eww! Little bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) dip, some sulfuric acid, or hydrochloric acid, and it's all new smelling again. Just rinse, repaint, and ALL GOOD!!!

Working on it. Been cleaning out 2 or 3 nights a week for a few months now. The seats were buried in rodent bedding and debris when this car was pulled from the field. And you couldn't see the valve covers past the debris in the engine bay. So this one is a bit for a process.

I am thinking about swapping my OG to a dakota digital. Can I use the control box that comes with it to control everything? Or will I need to run wires to other parts of the car. Such as the oil sending unit, distributor for tach etc? Thanks in advance and great video!
@LugNutLangАй бұрын
@@PrimeG2 what engine do you have? If running a carburetor you have to run more wires. The control box has an input for each gauge. You'll have to rujnwires and install the sensors that come with the kit if you aren't running a Holley or other EFI ECU system. I got the Holley adapter because it reduced the wiring I needed, since the Holley already gets most of that data from it's sensors.

@@LugNutLang I finished mine this morning and it is worth every penny. I will be honest, it was a nightmare. Only because I am such a neat freak and wires were all over the place. I crimped my wires and pinned them down into my factory harness, there was no way that I was going to cut and destroy it. I just felt it would mess something up in doing so. But reading everything helped me. It is straight to the point. I have the VHX for the 1984 Caprice. I don't have the holley efi, so I had to run everything from the control box to my sensors and the factory harness. Works amazing and looks way better. Your video gave me hope!

I'd like to retrofit the 66 Thunderbird electric wing window motors onto my 66 LTD. There's a kit for the switches that lets you use a lever to roll up and down. You just push the lever down to roll down and pull up for up (in and out in this case). I'd like to use the manual wing window roller handles as the levers on the switch kit. Maybe I could get four more wing window rollers and convert all 6 windows to electric. With "stock" looking window switches in the stock locations. Do you think that's a good idea?
@LugNutLang2 ай бұрын
I’ve seen the window levers used as switches on a Mustang before. I think it would be very cool. And is definitely doable. Especially if the motors bolt in easily. My only concern is that someone who doesn’t know your car could get in and yank on the lever not knowing it’s been converted!!!!!!!
