I have this stuff I got from my dad. Super Lube, it's called. Sprays on thin, like WD-40, then sets up to a light grease consistency as the carrier flashes off.
Great for locksets (like the front door of your house) as long as you use it sparingly. I have used it on the kid's bike for years, and it seems to fight the corrosion from leaving the bike outside overnight.

I know you can get away with it but I don't like using a wet lube inside the keyway of a lock. The reason is that anything that stays wet will accumulate dirt and dust. I prefer a graphite "puffer" that shoots dry graphite into the keyway. The graphite dust is fine enough to get worked into the surface of the metal pins and chambers and IMO tends to give a longer lasting smooth operation.

No, certainly not in the keyway. Only for the rest of the unit. I rebuilt both front and rear doorknob/locks for my mom a couple of weeks ago, and that's the stuff I used.
I agree, only graphite in the lock itself, everything else is messy.

As usual - keep up the solid work. I can't wait to see this thing get dirty

Im surprised you are using the FM heat shield If irgured you would have made your own. I had to modify mine to fit on my 94. I bought it used from a guy with a 96 and the sucker wouldnt fit due to the heater hoses in the way. so I had to cut it a little bit to get it to sit better and have the hoses have some clearance.

The last part of this; the wiring, the hoses, things not fitting right, is starting to wear me down due to the tediousness of it all.

I just decided to get a new cable, the sheathing upon further inspection is cracked in several spots and a new cable was only $20. Cheap peace of mind in my opinion.
Revlimiter, upon his own volition mocked up some custom gauge faces for my AFR/boost in order to tempt me to spend more money with him(not a hard thing to convince me of I've come to find out), and I think they look incredible. They also match the HVAC and instrument cluster perfectly.
For kicks we decided to add a "redline" at 25 psi. I thought it looked neat at first then realized it would give me a nice visual indicator of my boost target. Coincidentally it is 25 psi(unless I decide to run all of it). We also added more tick marks to the AFR gauge for uniformity sake.
