More panel work today. The metal stretcher /shrinker tool comes in handy.

Sprayed the engine bay this morning and hope to get the engine back in and running soon. Using the clear over base system is an easy way for a beginner to get a good shine.

Hey Heff,

What exactly is the base over clear system?

Thanks.

I think he means clear over base. A flat colour base coat, with gloss clear coat on top.

Ha too many paint fumes, clear over base. Cheers

That makes more sense.

Hi all, got the engine back in and everything hooked up and no spark. It’s been driving me nuts. The blue light shows in the ecu.I have 12v at the GM module and I have switched power at the Crane Hi 6 box but no signal to the hi 6 from the white wire which is triggered from the coil wire from the gm module. I replaced the ignition module and no difference. I am going to install the Camira coil and see if that works. Is there any safe way of testing the coil negative wire from the GM ignition module. Cheers.

With all that new paint I would be looking at a bad earth somewhere. Make sure the Ignition module is earthed.

Thanks Kojab, certainly seems like an earth problem but I have run temp wires back to battery negative to check all the earths (I think). I must be missing something.

I've had old relays catch me out a couple of times, they bench test fine but won't carry enough current to actually make things happen. After finally finding the offender cracking it open usually reveals corrosion/erosion of the contacts.
