Marty,
If you go with a turbo, that's a whole different ballgame. I am in the middle of doing a turbo build with my GTO, and as you know, the log and turbo are just the tip of the $$$ iceberg. LOL Andrew |
While I was searching Ebay I accidently found this.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1cbc34e-me.jpg Danger Will Robinson !!!! http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d0c0110-me.jpg Ugh !![/QUOTE] I guy I follow on YT , Taylor Ray, just posted using that manifold on a Silverado he LS-swapped. The flats below the turbo flange made installing the wastegate pretty easy. |

For now no turbo just thinking about the next stage of the car down the road as I don't want to build another car unless it's a 65/66 Notchback Mustang with and LS Swap. Quote:
Oh, I know all about the insanity when you do a turbo build. I already have my eye on a 65 Mustang and if I buy it I would definitely LS Swap it and possible do a low boost turbo set up. |
Fuel Pump Relay Final Wiring ( 09-06-21 )
Once again I labeled all of the wires.

(09-08-21 ) http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...84df991-me.jpg I am struggling with running the wires on top of the tank. I just don't fell like it is safe as the floor pan has been Rhino-Lined and it just seems like the wire are being crushed. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...03349fb-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2935f04-me.jpg Time to come up with a new way to route the wires. |
Cylinder Head Grounds (09-18-21 )
Since Holley wants this wire grounded to the back of the cylinder head. Why would it be so freaking long when it literally is only inches away from the bolt that it needs to go to.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c3e192b-me.jpg Yep, I over stripped the wire. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...bc27369-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e4e1eb4-me.jpg I did a better job stripping the wire on the passenger side. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7497a15-me.jpg Well, Remy fell asleep as it was a beautiful day. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a12a670-me.jpg Ran the last couple grounds to the brass bolt that is grounded directly to the battery. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a7961a9-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c64c173-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5b55dc6-me.jpg |
Fuel Pump & Sending Unit Wiring ( 09-20-21 )
So I went back out to the garage after talking with a few guys about how they wired there in-tank pump and I decided to try what they have done.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9a4fbf0-me.jpg I individually wrapped each wire in Tech Flex Sleeving to protect the wires from abrasion. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6482049-me.jpg It's definitely better so I am going to sleep on it and see how I feel in the morning. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a0d5ebe-me.jpg I also ran the sending unit wire next to the power & ground. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...90b855a-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9e46bf0-me.jpg |
Where do you get the Tech Flex without having to buy bulk spools?
|
Quote:
Summit sells it in smaller packages. Search Techflex Sleeving on Summit and sort price low to high and you will find the smaller packages. |
Fuel Pump & Sending Unit Wiring Continued ( 09-21-21 )
Back to Plan "B" or is it Plan "C"
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...39ce5c4-me.jpg I plan to run the wires around the tank and secure them with the "Weld Studs" in multiple locations. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8dc4475-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d836677-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d9083c1-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a1155b1-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ca40880-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6fdba5b-me.jpg |
You just want to stay away from ‘Plan F’…
:thankyou: |
I love the idea of the weld studs, going to do the same with mine. Thanks

Fuel Pump Wiring Concept ( 09-23-21 )

ICT LS Bypass Hose ( 10-06-21 )
My plan is to start the car up before I make the final "Wet" connection to the motor. So I ordered this little hose that ICT Billet offer so I can bypass the Vintage Air.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8495f37-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3f1b447-me.jpg Not sure why I took this picture but I like it. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...92aa649-me.jpg Tank is going back in and I am going to finalize the wiring to the Fuel Pump and sending unit. ( 10-09-21 ) http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...87b4b87-me.jpg I stepped the shrink wrap so the grommet would stay in place. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...dd85930-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...87d9dac-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6e10af6-me.jpg I also saved and labeled an extra grommet just in case I needed one later. Yes, I am building a service kit for the car that I will stow in the trunk. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5daf47e-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...dcf31e9-me.jpg I also ran the wires around the tank. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f5a3366-me.jpg So it looks like I need to add one more Weld Stud...Ugh !!! http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ee7661c-me.jpg I finally received the fitting I need to connect the Fuel Pressure Sensor to the Fuel Rail. I am sorry I don't really like it as it has to many points that could leak. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0d1be61-me.jpg |

https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-jm1e...564193.jpg?c=1 You could save one fitting by using an adaptor that goes from male AN ORB to male an. That would screw directly into the rail, replacing the one separate fitting on the right. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...AC_SL1500_.jpg |
So I found this fitting that allows me to thread it right into the fuel rail
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...71b8dee-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0534061-me.jpg It's just a hair shorter then using the hodgepodge setup I started with. However, I really like the sensor aiming down as it sticks way out. Any chance you happen to know the part number of the fitting you posted ?? http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f29f1c7-me.jpg Quote:

I wouldn't hang the sensor off the rail or anywhere on the engine. The vibrations will kill even the highest quality sensors eventually. My Holley sensor lasted on the rail for about 15K miles.

This may seem excessive but WTH I am doing it anyway (10-16-21)
As you all know I have issue's and because of that I gently removed all of the screws from the Notchhead clamps so I could put a
little grease & paint in them to hopefully prevent the holes from rusting. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ed19958-me.jpg I will also be removing all of the blue tape. Yea Me !!! http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...130fbd2-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...de42dc9-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b969983-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...587ba26-me.jpg I put a very thin coat of Duplicolor paint and primer in one in all of the holes as this would be the easiest way to apply paint without getting it everywhere. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0a27828-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3979066-me.jpg On a side note the Billet Battery Tray Wilson Muscle Car designed makes a very nice parts tray. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0f5e357-me.jpg All of the Blue Tape has finally been removed from the subframe. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...03558d2-me.jpg |
Holley Sniper Injector Harness Cleanup ( 10-16-21 )
I have one of the early Holley Injector harness that has a white tag for the injector number which is just ugly so I rolled each label and
then wrapped in clear electrical tape. These will be hidden under the Tech-Flex wrap. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...05f73e4-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...55fdbfa-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7f8757b-me.jpg I printed new labels that I applied to each injector plug. However, they will most likely fall off but it will just make it easier to put them where they belong when I plug everything in for the last time. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6bfc5fe-me.jpg I also redid the wire wrap so the wires would be hidden from view. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...faf6a0a-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ae0ecdf-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...064fb92-me.jpg |
Optima Mock Up Battery ( 10-21-21 )
I knew these existed and when I asked the Optima guys at Columbus Good-Guys last year of course they said they would call me
back. However, no one ever called so I took it upon myself to find an empty Optima Battery Case. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...90afe22-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5ea9557-me.jpg Now that I have one and I can prove that they actually exist. |
Trans Coolant Line DEI Heat Sleeve ( 10-21-21 )
Hopefully this will be the last time I have to move these lines.
I installed the DEI Heat Sleeve over the soft lines as they are near the Edelbrock Shorty Header. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1b4f55b-me.jpg So while I was installing the hose I felt something on my legs and low and behold my new puppy decided he wanted to take a nap on my legs. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...bddd1ba-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4587822-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...610c3e3-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...defa6d7-me.jpg |
Final Fuel Line Connection To Fuel Rail ( 10-24-21 )
Having to make the last cut on the fuel line was fun and yes I was worried about cutting it to short.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...320f530-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a0adf16-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8fe8ee9-me.jpg This was the final line which goes under the throttle body. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b984420-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...606cb83-me.jpg I also want to make sure that the line wouldn't rub on anything. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5c09217-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...005dc60-me.jpg |
The last of the wiring under the Sniper Intake ( 10-24-21 )
Making sure the last bit of wiring under the intake manifold will be safe from harm.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f6e542e-me.jpg If you look closely you can see the fitting that Holley supplied are useless. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...20f300c-me.jpg When we build in the intake tube we are going to weld tabs under the tube so we can zip tie the MAF wire harness under the tube. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...eb174c5-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8d4dc06-me.jpg I also ran the Drive By Wire harness under the manifold. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...07b7249-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...577cc33-me.jpg All of the wiring has been heat wrapped going to the starter. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2859c25-me.jpg |
2nd Chance Camaro
All the wiring on my new Gt-1 car has plastic
dip over all the final connections to keep things together and my guess prevent corrosion. Never have seen that before Every bolt is very hard to break loose on this car... very impressed whoever put it together. Like dirt bikes race cars have bolts falling off them all the time Love the way you keep your wiring all run cleanly Bob |
Nice work, Marty! This is going to be really clean under the hood.

Looks really good, Marty, you’re attention to detail is amazing! I was admiring what I suspect to be your transmission cooler lines running along the top of the subframe…I’ve gotta decide what type (hardline or flexible) and where to run the lines for my Nova project and was wondering if you used PTFE lines or something else?

Yep, I am still playing with the Trans Coolant Lines ( 10-24-22 )
I found these clamps on Amazon and they do a great job securing the lines.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...86effb4-me.jpg Checking for clearance under the upper control arm and there is plenty. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...98ac760-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e45d523-me.jpg Yep, I cut the wrong length of the heat sleeve when I made my last cut so now I have to order more. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8df6f2a-me.jpg So, I jumped over to the battery wires as I needed to do something a little different and then I called it a night. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...cb11bee-me.jpg |

At least the ones I ordered were sized that way. If you're using ptfe braided lines the o.d. will be much smaller so maybe their sizing works. I was trying them on a couple of standard rubber lined braided lines. |

You've set the wiring standard pretty high for the rest of us with your meticulous detail to wiring. I too went overboard with shielding wires and fluid lines around the headers and areas that give off heat, on my starter to battery cable and alternator cable I added the spark plug protector boots for an extra added measure of protection, inverted them to take out the ring. Attachment 77116 On another note just wondering what single fan you're using? Is it for less fan/rad depth, less air intake tube interference? Keep up the great work! |
Intake Manifold Fittings ( 10-30-21 )
Planning ahead before I run over to Ace Hardware for some fittings as the one's that are supplied are useless.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f986f09-me.png So the Earl fitting that I happened to have looked like it was going to work. However, It did not as it hit the valley cover. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...31603b5-me.jpg So I found my Mike Norris Catch can and I used these fitting to start mocking up the fittings I needed. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5d709d6-me.jpg After a quick trip to Ace I think I have the fittings I need. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ae8f264-me.jpg Only at Ace can you find a 1/8" Hose Barb (trust me I looked everyone else) http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6292cf4-me.jpg First Mock Up http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c5ef8b8-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c61c323-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...99c760b-me.jpg |
