Congratulations. I'm glad I'm not the only one. About that paint: I don't know if you read the can, but some of that stuff requires "curing" in an oven, OR heating by your car. The problem is, it's supposed to be done withing an hour of spraying it on. Not months. :) Then again, some brands don't. The RPM relay is supposed to click and cycle the freq valve and pump for 1 second when you turn the key. I'm glad you were able to do all that and not have to mess with the timing like I did. --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxx> wrote: > Here's a quick description of what I did last night. > > I turned the key to on and put my voltmeter on fuse 1 (while the fuse was > still installed).
