This has been a bit delayed as I spent 2 weeks in Queenstown Mountain biking which got in the way of progress along with also being in the middle of fairly major house renovations but I have an update...!
I picked up the oil pressure sensor adaptor and the fuel system parts and did a quick test assemble on the table.

With a bit of luck I may have it running by this weekend.

I can't really explain how loud it is with only manifolds, and no cats, silencers, pipes etc.
It sounds a bit like thunder and bearing in mind it was quite late I wasn't really willing to  off my neighbors!
It scared the crap out of our dog! It also didn't have any coolant/water in it. Most of that will be sorted at the weekend. 2001 90 HT 6.0LS/6spdAuto. 2003 90 td5 soft top. 2014 90 XS SW 2.2. |

Bit more of an update.
I have sorted the electrical issue I had. I had accidentally connected the IGN power feed for the loom/ecu etc to the accessories terminal on the key. When the ignition was turned on power got to the pump to prime etc (as both IGN and ACC are live) but it dropped as soon as it was turned to start as the accessories power is killed during starting so it turned over but had no fuel supply or spark. (I bridged the relay initially to get it running) Swapping the feed to the IGN terminal on the key as opposed to the ACC terminal has resolved that and the fact that the start inhibit didn't seem to work. That now all works perfectly. I have all the gauges working correctly, including the canbus water temp (tested it by heating the sensor in hot water to make sure) and canbus oil pressure gauges. Had about 50psi on start up from memory. I haven't got the canbus voltmeter connected yet (mainly as I am not sure where to put it!), but it is charging correctly when i multimetered the battery terminals I have an issue with the throttle where it doesn't work. The loom is set for the corvette pinout in the connector but the Lokar pedal and loom tail/connector appears to be either camaro or truck configuration. It looks like one of the 5v supplies and I assume corresponding low is switched around. This was my wiring diagram! Click image to enlarge I removed the short loom between the pedal and the main loom and switched those 2 terminal pins. They were a total pain to remove. I normally manage to get them out with a sewing needle/pin but these weren't going anywhere. I ended up making a special tool out of a split pin! I had to hold the tool in a bench vice to be able to push the pins out Click image to enlarge I have reassembled everything but as of yet haven't tried it so don't know if it is working yet. Also the auto functions all seem to work perfectly along with the gear indicator. In manual mode I can shift it from 1st-6th with the corresponding correct display on the indicator.
