Does anyone in the Portland area have the original WSM documents that they'd let me borrow, so as to make new and improved scans of the wiring diagrams? I know this is sort of a big ask, but I'm willing to put in the time to get everything scanned and into an OCR'ed pdf.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Hooked On Driving at The Ridge Thursday 6/6/24
So sorry everyone - I meant to send this note Monday and did not get it sent.??
Update:? There is hardly anyone signed up for this event.? Looks like it may be a total of only 9 cars combined on the track for the B&C groups - which we are planning on running together - so it will be 30-minute sessions instead of 20-minute sessions every
hour.??
If you are an "A" driver (not Solo approved) there may not be enough spots left, but try to sign up if you are able - we may not have enough Coaches for additional "A" students.??
It will be a great day - Partly cloudy, 74F - Perfect for the track.??
My #41 Stock Car will be on track - new Clutch & new tires (with only one session on them) so hope to be really turning it on and seeing how it goes.??
If you are able to be free tomorrow/Thursday 6/6/24 sign up & come out for a great day!? ?If you just want to "check out" Hooked On Driving"
(HOD), come out, find me, and I will get you a ride with a Coach to see what The Ridge Motorsports Park is like in Shelton, WA.??

Re: WTB some GT or similar cams
I think Benno should go all out.??
Porken Skunk Works, with Colin cams optimized for ITB's, stroker
crank, dry sump, big valve heads, aftermarket engine control
system.?
wow, it's easy to spend money (as long as it's someone else's
$$$) :)
Looking forward to see what you come up with.?
And get thee to a dyno.? Need to have some baseline numbers
before you go all out.?

The options for modifying stock cams is minimal
without building up the lobes with weld. This isnt the best
option for a street engine due to welded cams not having enough
porosity to maintain an oil film.
So far, I think I am the only person to have
manufactured new high lift cams for the 32V engines. And let me
tell you, it was not a cheap endeavor?

Couple of quick thoughts.
Cold start injector on the front of the intake??
And CIS does not like to sit at all.? Even if the parts are all
new, it gets finicky.?
I'd toss some Berrymans into the tank, jumper the fuel pump relay
and cycle fresh gas through the system.? Make sure you have a
charger on your battery.
It won't help the cold start injector so you may have to pull it
