Yep -- you are right -- it's not an Omega, but still a nice looking motor :y

Look forward to seeing the "new" engine set up  :)

nice looking car...
very nice colour.
Not the best choice of wheels, never really liked those tsw's.
But looking forward to seeing the V6 lump in there.

So is it reading about half as much as its supposed to?

I know someone who used a variable switch like the one on your radio volume, to take the signal and adjust to the proper voltage so that the tack works as its supposed to...

On another note that little car must be a beast... that motor is simply sweet, I was trying to see if that manifold will fit the Omega but I guess it sticks up too far, on the back side, and wont fit...

 :) :)

perhaps a calibra v6 dash would be the answer as im pretty sure they are the same setup :y
