I made a mistake at servo a while back and put half a tank of rice fuel in my 70
well did it like it "NO FN way "

That's because being 85% ethanol, the stoic ratio is around 9, compared to 14's for normal petrol. the engine would have been running super lean.
While it's not an LS1, I'm hoping my 400 small block and TKO will give me similar reliability and some form of economy with fuel injection. I keep checking the price of new alloy small blocks to build myself a 427 stroker, but it just isn't on the cards.

I have removed most of the vacuum system and fitted the Mazda headlight motors.
Everything just bolted straight in, it only required a bit of clearancing on the housing for one of the heim joints. I used L & R threaded heim joints so once it was all fitted it was easy to adjust the length of the actuator rod to allow travel from full down to full up with the linkage in the lock position.
I am yet to wire the motors up, however theres a red knob on the bottom of each motor that allows the system to be cycled without power.
I will be using 5 relays and fuses at the front of the car (2 for radiator fans, 2 for low/high beam lights and 1 for the headlight motors). For this I am using a small power distribution box that can house five 30A micro relays and up to ten fuses. It should look a lot neater then mounting relays and fuse holders to the inner fender.

Its Bussmann. The one I've ordered is bussed on the fuses but not on the relays.
