We need to talk..............You have inspired me!

PS: My computer is still in rehab. THREE operating systems running at once, so my printer/scanner is not loaded. (no more memory) I have pics of mine as well as original manuals, but can't go public now. (thank you Bill Gates)

MuscleCar Enthusiast did a pretty thorough multi page write up on Sun Test equipment.
Pictures,specs,model upgrades,price speculations,trouble shooting and a few possible parts outlets too.
All researched from a guy who's as hardcore on Sun equipment,as most of us are about the cars from that era.
It was printed sometime during the Summer/Fall 2006 I believe.

Can you find that article? I'd love to see it.

[Mr70]

I sold all my issues of that magazine to Ngtflyr on here.
Maybe he,or someone else from here can dig it out.
I'm almost certain it was one of the issues between Spring/Summer/Fall 2006.
It really was very informative,with info on how to contact the guy who's known as "Mr.Sun".

I pm'd Dave.

After I get back from Alabama and Texas I will take a look and try to find the article. Won't be back for a little over a week though. I know where two Sun Analysers are sitting in Oklahoma, south of OK City if anyone is interested I can hook you up with the owner.

I still need the small, Sun roll around cabinet for my distributor machine...keep your eyes peeled!

I located a replacement red cable and inductive pickup (about $85 total) and all of the electrical diagnostic stuff seems to work now. I haven't played with the exhaust analyzer portion yet. I think that will take a bit more tinkering to get it working.

I spent a few hours trying to locate an auto parts store that had the NGK plugs for a hemi in stock. (Since everyone on the site recommends them) I finally found 8 plugs this afternoon about 25 miles from the house. I picked them up (plus a set for the T/A too) and installed them.

I replaced all the plugs and she runs a lot smoother:

Everyone thinks changing plugs is easy on a hemi. Well, seven of the eight plugs are easy to replace. Trying to access plug #7 under the power brake booster is always a challenge. Chrysler actually made the #7 plug boot different than the other 7 boots. All but #7 use a bakelite insulator to locate the terminal on the end of the plug. The #7 boot, on the other hand, has a flexible rubber boot designed to bend so you can get it out without having to unbolt your entire power brake booster from the firewall. But if your car has any miles on it, that rubber boot is nowhere near flexible anymore.

Over the years I have figured out the exact combination of adapters and extensions to loosen the plug and then extract it from the tube in the valve cover. This can be quite entertaining if you are ever in the neighborhood of someone who has never done it before. It's kind of like watching a group of officers attack one of those "Leadership Assessment Obstacle Courses" in the military - you know the ones where you are tasked with getting over a 30 foot trench filled with radioactive hot lava and they give you 3 tooothpicks, a 55 gallon drum, a paper cup and a Playboy magazine, and 28 minutes to do it in.

Officer Candidates, here is your challenge: #7 spark plug has one inch of clearance between the brake booster and the valve cover. You have to successfully remove a 4-inch spark plug, a 7-inch spark plug terminal and a 3-inch spark plug socket from the hole and reinstall a new spark plug without breaking it. You have 28 minutes.....
