nice! At least we have them all now lol.
a little update, a success in running the car on E85. injectors are maxed as it hits peak rpm at WOT, not sure of the actual AFRs as I didn't bother with the WB as this is only a test run.
Also with the hose tests I found the in tank line actually swells in alcohol and ends up about 20% larger. I have had the piece out in the open now and it smells of strong alcohol even after 2 days but slowly its reducing in size and beginning to return to original strength. The alcohol must be permeating the rubber throughout and being soaked up like a sponge. Seems to be reversible so thats good.
Goes a bit better at the lower end, suspect the top end is running out of fuel as it seem either the same or bit slower. I was just guessing the timing but need a dyno to get it right. Ended up having something like 32º timing at 5200 @ WOT and certainly no knock, the engine would sometimes knock on 98 with 27º on a hot day. Bad enough that you can rear it inside over the engine noise and radio. So clearly alcohol is a superior fuel in performance terms.

yeah has 10L or so. The gauges always have a huge reserve. bottom of the range is actually 20L which is 1/3 of an actual tank.

I bought 3 of these, some extra for my stock. At this price, why bother fixing up the old crusty power harness?
