The backing plates are not for a chevy 10/12 bolt. They seem to be more for a ford bolt pattern |

http://chevythunder.com/drive_by_wire.htm Check out the link. It looks to me like your harness is intended to be used with a TAC module, which utilize 16 pins. I'm surprised the car will start without this connection. |

After 3 long and painful years, i finally have fenders and a hood on
http://imageshack.com/a/img908/8605/OFtFYB.jpg Door gaps being checked http://imageshack.com/a/img903/6949/GJi219.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img908/4997/BHrWJ7.jpg Floor pans had to be primered again for paint http://imageshack.com/a/img903/9692/vWRbUV.jpg Unfortunately, the regular hood wouldn't close with the Holley Hi-ram and tall and narrow mounts so i switched to the short and wide ones in the hope it will bring the engine down more but it was a no go. Trimmed the X-brace on the underside of the bonnet but still didn't help so it either i get a Mid-ram or 2 inch cowl hood like toytech93 did. Im going to go with the Mid-ram and switch over the openings in order to retain the 102mm opening and the NW TB but i got the engine to run, ill try to upload a clip of that |
Good for you! Upload the clip!
Gaps look good. I was about 3 years in for final metal fitment also, so keep your head up! |
Progress is progress. Keep at it and you'll be done before you know it.
