Hi all still waiting for my new optimizer from Leroy’s. He said the regular shipping company quit shipping. I’m going to put a new IP on the new motor. Is there anything I need to pay attention to when removing the old pump from the old motor. Should I mark the position of the old pump and...
Thanks Glad that is what I am looking for. Look like a clean installation bravo! 👍. Got the motor and trans out all by myself 2days worth of work. Still have to get it on the stand and send the trans. out for a refresh. Are there any up grades worth doing while I have it at the shop?💁...
Thanks guys for the input. I was kind of concerned about bolt hole castings not holding where the intake bolts to. Anybody have a pic of the harness glagulator has?

#4:285 #6:275 #310. did each each one twice and these were the...
