Cranked and ran on the first serious try, only to encounter a bizzarilly messed up distributor (soon's it warmed up it stopped working).
Fixed that, car runs and drives great, Ms&s right now, ms&s-e soon, and it'll be turboized in short order as well.
I'm using the factory volvo air and coolant temp sensors, and an 850 tps, techedge 2a0 wideband to keep tabs on the sturm und drach, and 2nd gen rx-7 NA injectors (460cc i think? high z).
This is to be my DD, good fun
