First Drive

Got the brakes bled and the coolant installed and took it out for a quick drive...not very far, but enough to ascertain that the speedometer indeed works.

I believe that most of my cluster problems are ground related as the gauges tend to jump around in sync. I'll be spending some time tracking down that issue. Lots of other little things too like a squeaky belt, the tach issue and my shutoff. I wired the shutoff into a "run" circuit and it really needs to be wired into an always hot circuit. If one turns the key off with the engine running, the switch won't work to shut the engine off.

I also don't know if the turbo is spooling up properly. I don't get any "whine" under acceleration although it turns freely, so that will need to be investigated as well.

Another milestone reached.
