Can you provide instructions on how to remove and install the TV cable?

This radio station was renamed Krenzy in honor of the last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul. The question is not when he's gonna stop, but who is gonna stop him.

On the plenum side, disconnect the cable just like a throttle cable. You may have to remove some of the cable guides on the back of the plenum to do this. On the transmission side, remove the one retaining bolt, and then pull up on the cable. You will see a metal hook on the end of the cable, that is clipped into a little eyelet. Disconnect the hook from the eyelet.  Reverse for installation.

Be very careful the eyelet does not fall down into the transmission where you can not get to it!

Well here are two pics I took yesterday:


This is after just leaving the shop, having the alignment done, fresh oil change, and the new upper mounts...FFP FTW!


This is a shot of my CB through-glass mount antenna...Not sure how far it goes, but over 2 and a half miles for sure! I like it...both this antenna and my new standard mount antenna are at a nice slanted angle instead of straight up lol.

Well, I replaced my oil return line, and through in a new O2. Then my turbo decided to die. So, after a few days of thinking and planning, she came out, and tomorrow gets sent in for some serious upgrades and rebuilding. More info on that later. :icon_twisted:

subframe and control arms are half painted, should be ready to go in by friday if weather/time holds out.

cleaning/relooming the injector harness before the plenum goes on, once the motor's together I'll finish up the rest of the harness. it's almost ready to go in.

d'oh. need a balljoint and tie rods though. not to mention a full brake job and new SS lines.

I got my x-over in the mail a few days ago.  When I got it, it was dirty since it was used  but like an idiot, I forgot to take pics of the "before" x-over.

Today, I cleaned the x-over up.  I wire wheeled it for an hour to get all the crap off of it and get it down to bare metal, then I painted it.
Here are some pics of the end result:



So yeah that is the end result of the x-over before I put it in the TGP. :icon_cool:
Still planning on what to do next..... :icon_twisted:
