Ignition on Wiring-figuring out what is left (( 09-08-22 ))

Holley wires that need to go to the brake pedal switch. You are looking for the wire that is hot when the pedal is depressed.

Looking good. Sorry I couldn’t find those part numbers before you did. I got sidetracked. My-bad lol But thanks for posting them. I always thought they were metal. When I seen a post before referencing them, I just assumed just that brand was plastic.

Don't worry about your post gave the clue of what to search for and I accidently found and of course ordered it. Should be here on Tuesday the 11th. Which means I once again have to take the darn starter out. Ugh !!!

How do you like the Master Cool A/C crimper tool. I can only imagine how high the cost went up from before Covid-19

Super easy to use and saved me hours of driving back and fourth to Midwest Hot Rods to have them crimp my lines.

Confirming we have enough inward travel on the driveshaft (( 09-10-22 ))

My OCD is slowly killing me and I just want to make sure that there is sufficient inward trave for the driveshaft.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...02d6f9c-me.jpg

So I slid it in till it bottom out and it looks like I have just shy of 7/8" of travel.

I also took a few pictures of everything that will be behind the dash so I can reference these pictures in the future. Looking back I may do a quick video just in case.

Well it's just a little to long so I am going to cut a little bit off. I searched the garage and found this bottle of
Funk Away that fit perfectly inside the hose and it made cutting it so much easier.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e80f13d-me.jpg

Test fitting found it was just a little bit to long so I cut off just a little more.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9d6a3c0-me.jpg

Holy Crud is it hard to get in their and tighten the hose clamp.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5c4af1d-me.jpg

It's finally in and holy crap did this simple job suck.

Looking back it would of been so much easier to drop the tank and put the neck on.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c18ed5f-me.jpg

Time to call it a night a go inside and lay on the couch with the dog.

Aviation Gasket Sealant (( 09-12-22 ))

Holley Fuel Pressure Regulator (( 09-17-22 ))

I had a couple option for the fuel pressure regulator throughout this thread and I have settled on this version.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...abf955f-me.jpg

Did I mention how much I dislike Cancer Warnings.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fcdf7f6-me.jpg

Details.

Lokar Dip Stick Fill Tube Modification (( 09-17-22 ))

In order to fill the trans I needed to find a safe way to fill the trans without spilling the trans fluid all over the place.

A quick trip to Home Depot so I can figure out a decent solution.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fa9f045-me.jpg

Lokar Supply's a little 3" fill tube which is quite useless in my opinion. You can see the fill tube they supplied slides in with resistance so it shouldn't leak.

More Blue Tape Notes.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e420170-me.jpg

Time to tighten the motor mounts and it looks like I need to go grab some lock washer since I can't seem to find them.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8364c6b-me.jpg

Thankfully Ace Hardware is only a few miles away.

All Better

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ec31c16-me.jpg

Picked up my new new Optima Battery today wow has the price gone up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5a3bf1c-me.jpg

Another while I am here job. I added the charge wire that came with the Optima battery charger.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2497ecf-me.jpg

I snaked the wire down the back of the battery & core support. You can see it neatly hiding under the battery tray.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...339eb81-me.jpg

I finally added a zip tie to the starter wires.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3c98503-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0eb892d-me.jpg

Holy Crap I am finally putting Oil back in the motor.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4d8a5f9-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e9eff0a-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...772f18d-me.jpg

Finally installed the 45mm Throttle Body Hardware.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4922e2c-me.jpg

Sorry these pictures suck. I finally figured out a good way to run the vintage air drain.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...593974b-me.jpg

Looking up

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0fc8f30-me.jpg

I snaked it up and over the frame rail.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2a29b5f-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3299abb-me.jpg

I also took a few reference pictures so I can draw up a battery wiring diagram.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...086fd47-me.jpg

You can see I moved the Holley ECU ground to the battery disconnect side.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3a45a11-me.jpg

All the grounds going to the stud on the back of the core support.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7cbb150-me.jpg

Tomorrow it get's the trans fluid.

The VA drain line routing photos reminded me I need to do the same. I've been using the cheap plastic drain line they supplied and, even with heat shielding over it, it's deformed from header heat.

Do you happen to recall the size of your Gates hose? I can't seem to make out the size from these photos.

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I am doing this from memory and I am fairly certain I am correct that it is 3/8". On a side note I went with the Gate's hose is the hose wasn't as flimsy as the generic 3/8" hose that I had laying around.
