Finally and I mean finally I get to figure out where & how I am going to install the new Holley Terminator X.
The "X" is the newest box and it is significantly smaller then the last model. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...76af326-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...78fc535-me.jpg After look So I have been trying to figure out where the harness is going to exit & this is one possible location. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3263b5c-me.jpg The plan to would be to tuck the wire behind the vintage Air unit hang them with adell clamps. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...be8063d-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6051590-me.jpg Mounting Bracket Idea. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6051590-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a00c03e-me.jpg |
I had Dennis at High Speed Welding make me the bracket for the Holley ECI.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b6d6a9c-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...af4eba1-me.jpg Not sure if Kenny made this bracket or Vintage air supplied. Either way I am drilling a hole in it. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9e578d0-me.jpg Quick trip to Ace Hardware for the necessary hardware and yes I will be using nylock nuts on the bracket as I would have to pull the dash to get to it if it came loose. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ff7940d-me.jpg Mounted on the Vintage Air Bracket http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3ed7186-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...229558e-me.jpg Started plugging things in and it appears we are good to go. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...94b5db4-me.jpg And of course I need to get more of these to anchor the Holley Harness http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ccdd140-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9508268-me.jpg On a side not I plan to install the lower dash dash to make sure it is hidden. |
Finally Caught up
I want to keep the engine bay as original looking as possible so I am not trying to hide the wire. I need to order a new firewall wire gutter so I can route the body harness back to the factory location.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0fd9e0b-me.jpg Now that I have determined the power leads for the ECU are going to exit the passenger side cowl and head directly to the battery I am going to have to remove the inner fender. Time to take out the battery http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...79061cf-me.jpg and here is the billet Battery Tray we made for 2nd Gen Camaro's. I think I have a few left if anyone is interested and has no desire to put there battery in the trunk. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...70310ef-me.jpg Good thing my inner fenders are carbon as I am certain this little bit of metal shaving would have caused them to start rusting. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1538543-me.jpg Getting ready to remove the Carbon Inner Fenders. Nervous...Yep http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8dae4e1-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7657e05-me.jpg So do you guys think I should consider line-x the inner fender to add a little more protection from flying debris ? http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d4978fc-me.jpg Holy crap getting the headlight buckets out was a bitch and then getting to the fender hardware sucked even more. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...23695b8-me.jpg Finally the last three bolts are out and the lower valance is hanging low enough to get the inner fender out...I hope. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ce7ac1d-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9e595b7-me.jpg It's out and will need a safe home so I may consider bringing these to my warehouse and hiding it on a rack somewhere. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...48481b6-me.jpg Finally easy access to the cowl. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4202a89-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c7eb572-me.jpg |
I decided that I am going to have the carriage bolts powder coated black or do you guys think I should leave them chrome.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b89eac6-me.jpg Not sure why I take pictures of the tools that I use but I do. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b89eac6-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7b0caaa-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...be1c8cc-me.jpg So I need to order some parts and of course I created another To Do list. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9c4846f-me.png http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...851723f-me.png http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7a3bd39-me.png http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0ed25c7-me.png http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4430783-me.jpg and finally the reward a Trip to Dairy Queen. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cd62751-me.jpg |
I say yes to Line X'in the fenders and yes to powdercoating the bolts too.

That is kinda what I was thinking also. Quote:

Not sure on the Line-X, while it serves its purpose very well, the weight may offset any savings from the carbon inner fenders (?), could be wrong.
Did you want them for size or clean lines? Funny, take the car apart while you can drive it (summer), and then have it ready for winter LOL. :underchair: Oh, do you even sleep? I didn't think they sold speed in Chicago :lol::lol: |
