Scottie Just read through the majority of your build....again. So much work and so much time and what a beautiful detailed finish to each piece. Inspiring to say the least.

now get the damn wiring done.

Thursday- already scheduled my lead tech to do nothing else but work on it- so between the two of us it should get close. The weather around here has been killing me- this is the third year in a row the weather just sucks!!! :angry-smiley-038:

One of my goals for this year is to get down to the Long Beach to Catalina race July 11th and 12th. Meet up WestCoast maybe?? Yourself?? And whoever else is interested. Can you drag that beast down that far?

Westcoast 03-25-2009 10:42 AM

Sure he can....first thing he did was restore his trailer:evilb:

scottie150 03-27-2009 10:13 PM

Yes, I could drag it down there- but why should I when I can ride on all my good buddies boats???:evilb:

So I spent the last two days working on it- have to run some wires for the tachs, and I have some sort of weird problem with the oil pressure guages- do they make reverse sending units for BBC? When you turn the key, it shows 80psi, when you start it it drops to 60, when you rev it up it drops to 30. I know the oil pressure is good because I checked it with a mechanical guage. Any ideas?

Scottie did you get the gauges figured out?

No- not yet. Its been raining and snowing around here nonstop all weekend- so its hard to work on the boat when the weather sucks. I figure I will check the grounds, it I can't figure it out I will cheat and buy mechanical!!! Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Any ideas????!!!???:angry-smiley-038:

Im the last guy you want ideas from when it comes to electrical. I think I have what they call in the professional world spaghettiwiringgonnascrewyourchitup-osis. It's very technical, no known treatment.
