I would say those numbers are good. Generally as long as they are within 15psi of each other your good.

Ran it.
Took 3 hours to make it to a gas station and back, but we made it. One hell of a shakedown. But she revs, pulls, and rattles like a datsun again.

Itchin bad to register the damn thing. Gotta find an opportunity to go to the DMV one of these days. It's insured, the headlights usually work, and the gas tank isn't that filthy anymore.. Good enough to get me to work and back, I suppose.
Until soon, here she sits...

Aaaand I fried another fuse box. Got a mystery wire grounding out somewhere. May just wire up a more modern fuse box with spade fuses.
Drove it to work and back today though. Ran great, runs a steady temp about 1/4 the way up the gauge. Just has some wiring issues to figure out. -_-

What fuse is getting hot? Spade fuses would be pretty badass.

Not sure if it's a fuse problem.. It just melted wires and connectors on the fus block. All the fuses are still fine. The tan wire from the starter to the fuse box it the main culprit. Shit burnt right down. Had to hotwire the coil and the headlights to get it home.

Isnt that the fusible link? And its designed to melt with too much power?
