Coil Brackets (02-02-20)
So at this point I am assuming at this point that my coil brackets are upside down so I am going to flip them to see if the coils come down just a little bit to take the tension off the plug wires. If not I am going to have to remake the wire as I don't like how tight they are. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...562ab91-me.jpg and yes that is a mountain bike tool being used on my car. Which got me thinking.... http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...35a93b9-me.jpg At some point the Custom Works Carbon Valve covers we be heading over to Gonzo Details for paint correction and a paint sealer. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...35a93b9-me.jpg Flipped http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e707a68-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ba51aa5-me.jpg Well that didn't work out so it looks like we will be making new wires. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9cb52b0-me.jpg |
Next up is planning, neatly hiding and running wires so they will be easy to access if I need to service them.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...64df62b-me.jpg making a new hole. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c645d2b-me.jpg Grommet installed and I promise I will clean up the DEI Boom Matt to make it look nice. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...fed2b23-me.jpg Back to the Holley Terminator wiring and I am hoping all of my planning pays off with all of the hose routing and wiring. Confirming the location of where I want to mount the relays. Once I feel confident I will install the "Weld Mounts" which are a stud that are glues in with panel bond. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a74a6c5-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a74a6c5-me.jpg These are going to be fun to put the washer, lock washer and nut on. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...95461f6-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3830f18-me.jpg I think this is the final. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0c98fb1-me.jpg More notes on the blue tap. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...38490fa-me.jpg |
Lokar Dip Stick (02-02-20 )
Not liking the stainless look so in order to tone it down just a little I wrapped it in the High Temp Tech Flex wrap. Being hones if I didn't already have this I would be putting in a stock dipstick. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...647062e-me.jpg Instead of cutting with Scissors they recommend a Hot Knife so a quick trip to Harbor Freight and $20.00 later this will work. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f2420f1-me.jpg I used an adhesive based heat shrink so it's nice and tight and I am hoping the engine heat doesn't cause an issue. I am also consider a factory dip stick as they work and it's already black so it will disappear when you look in the engine bay. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7309d59-me.jpg Well it at least looks better. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...58b3115-me.jpg More stuff arrived. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0b82c6e-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...84fd6ca-me.jpg |
Back out in the Garage again (02-16-20)
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...63446db-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c58eaa3-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...fe6dacc-me.jpg I was hungry so I looked in my wife's car and found some snacks http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...931f921-me.jpg Another harness that I am going to redo... http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0193092-me.jpg This was the original fuel pump wire. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c747158-me.jpg Time to remove and clean up the harness. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3c1b348-me.jpg While I am here I might as well clean up the tail light harness. Odd it doesn't look so bad on the ground...To late now http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7f28dd4-me.jpg My desk for the next couple hours. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a0f3ea8-me.jpg Looking better already. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e6c5ad7-me.jpg |
Here we go.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...22ec61e-me.jpg Bye Bye http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e839c5e-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d410261-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7ff6c72-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d269567-me.jpg time to get rid of a few feet of wire. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c236f60-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...121e4e4-me.jpg shorter is better. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...87d014e-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a544ebc-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...294ecfe-me.jpg this is how much wire was removed.

Moving back to the front of the car. (02-19-20)
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...34e9304-me.jpg The Dot's represent where I will bond in the "Weld Mounts" http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2084c5a-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8a78c61-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...30f7de8-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...79e6af8-me.jpg Looks like there is plenty of clearance the bend doesn't look that bad http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0aa247e-me.jpg Vintage Air http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3b82858-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...42aaeab-me.jpg Studs going in. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e34166b-me.jpg Off to Ace Hardware for more clamps and a Chunky Bar. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...420d0bc-me.jpg While the epoxy is drying I am going to jump back to the taillight harness. and yes I put this Circle in for a reason. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b71a23e-me.jpg |
Back to the Holley EFI Harness (02-20-20)
Remember the blue notes. Since this is a ground stud I removed all of the paint and I also removed the paint from the inside of the cowl. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...68d66b0-me.jpg Good News every stud was place in the correct location + or - milometers. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d012f6f-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...dafa217-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4be449a-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f072ce0-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6aaa34f-me.jpg The view from the back seat http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0030b4a-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...461a015-me.jpg |

Marty, that stay at home advisory is really working in your favor by getting a bunch of small detailing stuff done. I picked up some of that wire wrap to use as a conduit for wiring going from the trunk area to glovebox, keeps them nice and neat & protected.
Hey if you don't mind...... in the pics of your spark plug wires, your grommet on your firewall that feeds your main harness looks nice and snug, care to share which one you used. Thanks. Keep up the tidy detailing! |
