looks great, a timeless masterpiece....

Where are you?

What do you mean diodes to protect the switches? This is just for using one switch to run both trim pumps right?

Livorsi sells a diode kit to protect the trim switches in the throttles. It doesn't come with the throttles, but they say you should use it. I don't understand why exactly as a diode simply allows current to flow in just one direction.

The intake manifolds are off the motors to fix vacuum leaks that showed up on the dyno last week. The Merlin heads don't have an extra bolt hole that is present on the GM heads. The hole is in the intake manifolds and was the site of the leaks.

Boy am I getting antsy. Bilge is painted. Holes in dash are filled and about to be gel coated. Waiting for the grab handles to be painted that are going on the back of the bolster seats so i can take them up to the upholstery guy. I'm having the Sutphen logo embroidered on the backs of the bolsters just above the grab handles.
