Mega Squirt set up

Here is a shot of my new Code wheel and VR sensor mount. I'm almost done with this L28ET build. I planned on putting it in my '70 but I'm thinking about going with the Q45VH swap instead.

Sickness!

Is that an "ebay special" fuel pressure regulator? I have one just like it... works good but doesn't hold fuel pressure when you turn off the motor...

I got that along with some other parts for free. If it doesn't work right I'll toss it.

Very nice, I have never seen the sensor on that side of the crank before. How will the routing of the belt go?

It has several inches of clearance.

I've seen other mounts and I didn't think they looked rigid enough. The 8mm cap screws go 3/4" into the block. The VR sensor sits midway between the belt and the wiring is away from heat and moving parts. The hub adaptor is held on with 6 cap screws where the power steering pulley went. The O.D. of the code wheel runs dead true. I cut the VR sensor bracket off leaving only the barrel to clamp into the bracket.

Yeah but I don't know the price yet. If the potential market was bigger I could produce them more economically. btw I am having 1.5mm stainless steel head gaskets made up this week. I will post them up soon.
Get another car yet?

haha, I'm making a custom fuel rail just like that, if that pressure reg works and you happen to get a new one I'd be happy to put it off of you.

I'm putting the whole thing up for sale on ebay this week. If it sells I'll do the VH45DE. If it doesn't then I guess I'll put it in my '70 instead.
