Well....Got started on the Novi-1000 install this weekend. Went over the checklist, and checked it twice.
Got started...Drained the cooling system, removed the fan, belt, radiator/shroud, blah, blah, blah...
Relocated the heater lines that run accross the top of the engine, using the new angled fitting and hoses they provided. Relocated the cruise control unit, running the wires behind the computer, and along the firewall.
Got the oil filler neck off, and relocated a fitting on it.
Next step...Place bracket in place of oil filler neck, use the supplied gasket and replace filler neck. What??? What Bracket? It was there clear as day in the picture, but not on the checklist. It was not put in the box. Holy CRAP!
Next step was to put this bracket on, then tap the oil pan. I decided I was at a good stopping point, considering I wasn't at a point of no return. Put everything back on the truck, and filled the radiator back up, and headed for home.
I'm calling Paxton in the morning to get them to send me the bracket. Hopefully it will make it in before next Saturday, so I can get this thing on. I must say, the instructions are very well detailed. Things were going smooth as silk before the missing part. Hopefully when the part comes in, everything will go just as smooth finishing everything up.
Sorry guys and gals, no thrill reports today. Maybe next weekend???????
Here's a pic of the compartment with some stuff hanging and ripped off.
