Not really, as I found out quite quickly. The rain causes humidity to skyrocket, which just ruins whatever you put down.

You guys are gonna have fun trying to fix that thing in the dark with all the rain!

No, I'm at Lee for another week, it's waaaaaay too conservative for me, and out of state tuition= student loans, and as many friends as i have here, i can get the same education, more or less, for less than half the cost here- even with a scholarship.

but yea dude!i know it sounds lame but theres nothing more adrenaline pumping than being 400' above the ground with nothing but your own two little hands keeping you from plummeting to your death below...when its windy-I wouldn't think less of any man that shat his pants. but the view is incredible! really!

I don't condone it though. It's dangerous, not to mention illegal-trespassing on private property. So, don't go climbing every tower you find.

Oh, and the rain is plenty enough to stop anyone without a garage...meaning me. Winter was a rough time to do a motor swap in the driveway!

it was a no go i melted the starter wires so i just fixed them when the stores opened and it turns over fine now and now that they hooked up my brake vacume and fixed some ground issues on the harness it jumps and sputters but it still wont run..its right there on the jaged edge where your heart starts pumping really hard and it feels like this could be it but then it lets u down.


could the fact that the oil sensor on the side of the oilpan the big one with 2 bolts and a big black wire being not pluged in keep it from starting??

I would plug in everything that should be, ESPECIALLY the sensor in the oil pan, which is for low oil warnings. But it sounds like it needs just a bit more oomph to get fired up since its "Right There"

Oh no, a fail? Let us know when you get that sensor plugged up. If that's all it was then consider yourself lucky.

melted starter cables and bad grounds also lead to no fireing, as well as having your leading coil on the trailing plugs and vice versa, as well as nice vacuum leaks, but he should be set once the sensor is plugged back in, hopefully.
