    Search.

    But other than that you should be all set.

      i did. i usually do research before i post something. if you have any insight into this problem could you say that please instead of saying "search".... as far as i can tell all the spots on the dx harness will match up to the bp engine and transmission.

        confirm that all that i need to run are 2 more wires for the distributor and VICS.

          i would like to apologize for the demeanor of my reply earlier. i found the page in the worklogs section and it explained everything nicely. now that i have it marked for reference, it should be much easier. the funny thing was that i didn't find it by using the search box but i found it searching for images of the 2 solenoid valves that the DOHC engine uses.

              Wish I could share but i have no camera at the moment. Maybe i can borrow one and get a couple up. It is a 1993 teal DX with a lot of Ricer looking things on it. Been trying to fix what the kid that owned it before me screwed up for the last year or so.

                ok I have some pictures.


                hole goes all the way through to the airbox which is cut up badly on the bottom

                straight pipe exhaust

                the intake

                interior with the black supposed racing seat

                the awful muffler and how it is hung

                oil pressure, temp and battery gauges on the passenger side

                the white face gauges here are backlight in blue or green with the switch below the dash and the steering wheel

                pre pull

                White trunk, also has a white hood with hood pins and a black rear drivers side door



                and i have some other questions about the transmission.

                1. i have some weird looking fibers inside the housing where the input shaft is. what could it be?
                2. there is also some excessive wear on the last half inch of the fingers, is that normal?

                do i need to make a new thread to make this a worklog>

                      What are your long term plans with it?
