I normally enjoy wiring but the past month i've only been able to spend a few hours each Sunday to work on it.

Gave the transfer case a quick freshen up and changed the disc and clutch plates from 12/7 to 10/9, the spare one had water in it luckily I only needed 2 clutch plates out of it.

Since I had a spare ATTESA cylinder I decided to drill and tap it to take a pressure sensor.

Welder up the air temp sensor in the manifold and re-tapped it to 1/8 NPT, also gave it a bit of a satin finish.

Fitted the the MAP sensor.

Is part of the inlet manifold sandwiched between the head and the cams? (Forgive my ignorance about anything without pushrods!)

The MAP sensor ( manifold absolute pressure ) has to be mounted between the throttle body and the head, having 6 throttle bodies

 

the area i mounted it in links all 6 together so the computer can measure boost and vacuum.

Also started to extend the top timing belt cover, it had a crack and a piece missing so it was easier to cut the small section out and replace it at the same time.
