Well that was a bust

So, I tried to remove the pins however the heat shrink is so close to the terminal that it is
impossible to pull on gently. The other issue is the black retaining clip is in the way so I quit.

Moving to plan B. I going to have a gentleman out from Florida build me a new Coil harness that
is wired correctly and I am sending these back to Summit Racing since the guys at Wiring Specialties
were not interested in Helping me.

Here is the picture before I move the black clip back and now imagine how tight the space is.

Much better picture for reference

Just cut the heat shrink off, then when all the terminals are out of the connector, you can add a new piece of heat shrink before pushing the terminals back into the connector.

Just a Quick Update (( 02-05-23 ))

Power Steering Fluid and Another Fuel Leak (( 02-12-23 ))

I had filled the Power Steering Reservoir prior to the first start and I forgot to check the fluid levels after we started
the car. A couple days later I decided to check the fluid levels and guess what it was empty.

Andrew AKA Dr. EFI Noticed the O2 reading were all over the place so I ordered a new new Holley O2 Sensor from Summit.

Apparently I missed the pft tape on this fitting. So now I am going back and correcting this major mistake as
I don't want the car to catch on fire. I will need to empty the fuel line again and yes I wish would have fixed both fuel
issue's at the same time.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f51bc5d-me.jpg

I also disconnected the Fuel Pump power so the fuel wouldn't drip on the weatherpack connector.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...013f552-me.jpg

Once the fuel stopped leaking I reconnected the line.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4d587ad-me.jpg

I used some simple green to dilute the fuel and poured the mixture into a small bottle that I will drop off at my
buddy's shop for him to dispose of properly.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8818267-me.jpg

Look Ma...No Tape !!

Now I get to remove one of my many notes.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...54b4438-me.jpg

A Long Long Time Ago I was supposed to start this project ((02-12-23 ))

I actually can't tell you how long ago I bought this ford Fan set up. But what I can tell you is Andrew (( Dr EFI )) suggested I
buy this fan set for the PWM fan controller.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...89d0993-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e7eb30e-me.jpg

Remember, Chemo really killed my memory so labeling all of the wires really helps me.

Plus it looks really cool.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0f8b45c-me.jpg

Clear heat shrink over the top prevent the printing from coming off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4df0ec5-me.jpg

I started searching the engine bay to see where I could mount it and I quickly decided it needed to go on the front of the core support.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9afa419-me.jpg

As you can see it's not a small module.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...196834e-me.jpg

I removed the Overflow tank and marked a hole so I could drill & mount the module.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2c863ea-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8ce3515-me.jpg

Module is prepped to mounted.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...62ae419-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a451c3a-me.jpg

A quick trip to Home Depot for Stainless Steel Hardware. I bought Phillips head and Hex head bolts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b1bc794-me.jpg

I opted to use the Hex head bolts as it would be very difficult to get Phillips screwdriver on the bolt due to it's location.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...58de53b-me.jpg

Looking down you can see it would be much easier to get a box end wrench on the bolt. Hopefully I will never have
to remove it but with proper planning it will be much easier to work on.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...257cd20-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c0c3315-me.jpg

Now that the module is mounted I need to route the wires cleanly and safely.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2e60366-me.jpg

So there is this nice factory hole in the core support.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...11e8b21-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...31a7633-me.jpg

The wire would route into the engine bay, then down and over towards the fan.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9fb23e3-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d1cd30e-me.jpg

Getting power to the fan is the next project.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6f928db-me.jpg

I am planning on securing the harness in the middle.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c5adb36-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3a321a4-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6c09b9e-me.jpg

I was late so I called it a night and like always I a sure this wire routing will change tomorrow.

Holley Cylinder Head Ground Wire (( 02-13-23 ))

I noticed the Holley Cylinder Head ground wire was really close to being pinched by the line clamp. So I removed it
from the back of the Cylinder Head and ran the wire further down the loom.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c8e4cc1-me.jpg

It is now at least one inch from the line clamp

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...604f4bf-me.jpg

Working on the PWM wire routing (( 02-15-23 ))

This is not like me to leave my tools out.

Apparently, I was very tired and just didn't have it in me to clean up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e6eea08-me.jpg

Today, I will be finishing up the connection to the fan and the battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8e99376-me.jpg

I started running the wires to the fan like I had originally planned but that quickly changed.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4940649-me.jpg

I will need to make the hole a little bigger so I can put in a grommet. Which will allow me to run the wires safely through this hole.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ffcc8e9-me.jpg

I used Vaseline on the drill bit to capture the metal shavings.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b7ec81f-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...52d6417-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...408616f-me.jpg

The hole is bigger and the grommet fits perfectly.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...49ed086-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d1fe8b7-me.jpg

I taped the three wires together to make it easier to route them.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7a3b516-me.jpg

Mocking up the wire routing to the battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...34649c7-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...824f3eb-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6e6f190-me.jpg

Calling it a night and of course I created a list of things that I need to do.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e911112-me.jpg

Painless Performance LS1/LS6 Coil Harness (( 02-16-23 ))

I ordered the Painless Performance LS1/LS6 Coil Harness from Summit Racing and I plan to send the Wiring Specialties Harness to Andrew to see if he can rework it.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b64a00a-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b460abb-me.jpg

I mocked it up and it works and I only have to rework the last two Cylnders.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4af908e-me.jpg

You can see there is about 3" of excess wire.

I'm sure you have already verified this, but does the sway bay make contact with the tow bar when the car is on jackstands?

It actually sits in front of the sway bar so there are no issue's

I will get better pictures (( Side Shots )) today and add it to this post.
