Good idea to draw out a wiring diagram on all your new modifications. Will make any further diagnostic or maintenance exercises much easier. Put it in Barney's logbook will all the other info. When will this be running again?
How did you prep the headers before coating them again? Mine have been blasted, but for the amount of use they will get in the near future, I can't see spending the money on JetHot or a similar type of coating when I have million other things the car still needs.

Coming along nicely Lance!!!

Adrienne and I just got home an hour ago from our 6 day road trip.... and I have a PET scan for the cancer crap tomorrow — I’d love to be there for the start up and initial drive if you want me to be.....

Thanks Ric... These headers were ceramic coated when new but had gotten beat up a bit. Last time I just cleaned them real well and scuffed with scotchbrite just like anything else I paint and sprayed the coating on. The first time they get hot is when the coating turns hard. This time took even less prep as they were mainly just dirty.

Thanks Greg!!

I'm probably another week out at least before it makes heat. Still waiting on a few electrical parts to come in and still have to make fuel line and install tank.

That can be arranged though, I'd love to have you over when it happens.

I'm pretty stoked with how this turned out, so glad I took this route. Basically we took a new OEM carb (non-baffled) tank and adapted it with parts from Vaporworx to hold a Gen 5 fuel module internally regulated to 58 psi with two corner pickups. The regulator lets us run a returnless system and since I have a non-vented gas cap we retained the stock pickup for a vent to the charcoal canister and the fuel level sender. My friend Mike Hitt had the pan cut and bent up at a local machine shop and then welded the pickup tabs and flange pan into the tank for me.











Here are a list of most of the parts used along with pics and links.

SPECTRA PREMIUM GM306A Carb Tank

ACDELCO MU1959 Gen 5 Camaro Fuel Module
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=2291898&jsn=1


Fuel Pump Module Mounting Ring – 304 Stainless.
https://www.vaporworx.com/product/gm5ss/




Corner Pickup Kit
https://www.vaporworx.com/product/cptkit/




Fuel Pressure Regulator
https://www.vaporworx.com/product/g5fpr/




Fuel Module Outlet Fitting 3/8″ to AN6 Male
https://www.vaporworx.com/product/fpofgmqcan6/



This should give Barney a Fifth Gen Camaro fuel delivery system with OEM reliability and no fuel starve issues.

One more piece of the puzzle is in place, getting pretty close to finishing this project up.

So I spent some time in the shop as well today, finally finished up all the wiring. I'm not fast at it, nor the most neat and tidy at it, but I'm pretty sure the connections are all good and it all should work as designed when I llight it off. **Fingers Crossed** I'm pretty happy with how the relay\fuse box worked out and where everything landed.

Here are the all new battery connections. The power to the ECU and engine harness are on the side post mounts, everything else is now powered and grounded through the top posts.



I ran new 2 ga wire to the starter and 6 ga wire to the Alt and engine ground. It's what I had laying around and I needed to extend them anyway to move them to the top posts. Also ran 10 ga from there to the positive and negative distribution blocks on front side of core support and to the body bolt on the fender.

Looking down behind the headlight in front of core support, you can see the relay\fuse box and the Positive distribution block on the radiator duct.



Better look at the ground block.



I struggled with making the leads short enough to be tidy but leaving them long enough to pull the box up out of the hole should I ever need to service anything on it. As it ended up I can just get it up on top of the cowl without having to unhook any wires. Once I'm sure everything works I'll tie some looms up to make sure they stay put.

View up at the bottom of the box...



This was taken before I had the box bolted down and the main leads finished.

I still have to do a bit of work under the dash, the wire from coil needs to be hooked to gauge module for the tach and the wires to fan switch are going to get shortened and cleaned up. Other than that though, I'm DONE with wires...

Just need to make up four fuel line connections, run the fuel line and filter...and put the tank back in and I'll be ready to fire it off for the first time. Unfortunately an impromptu trip out of town early next week will delay this until after we return. Glad I got time to get the wiring down before we left though.

That tank turned out awesome. Nice work man.

Keep at it, be back on track in no time.

Quick Question for you. That positive bulkhead on the firewall, will there be a cover over that at all or is it exposed like that all of the time?

Thanks Sean...

Yeah, I'll figure out some way to cap the positive block off. Wish I would have found this one first now...
