Thanks! I'm so close. I told my little brother yesterday that I'll be doing tuning runs in ski goggles as there's no windscreen in the car yet. I am so ready for the next phase to begin.

Add more turns to R52. Quarter turn at a time.

I will also say that you should go ahead and start the car. The signals will have more noise once the car is running. You will need to tweak them in the car.
Starting this process in a few hours.
Your help has been invaluable. Thank you very much.

I filmed my first start attempt before I even knew I didn't have a crank sensor signal. I'll be documenting it all. No guarantees I'll share a video of a grown ass man weeping when it starts, but the video will get taken nonetheless.

You really do need to live closer. You're a madman and your filming combined with my madness and constant creep into entropy would make for hilarious reality TV.

Ha! I didn't even remember what that was from. I do now tho!
I can text you some bewbs or something. I'm a little short on gifts these days.


Going out to tinker with VR conditioning pots tonight and see if I can maintain sync as I add back in the fuel and ignition systems. (put the fuses in, that is)
It sounds so simple, and yet...I feel that it will not be.
