Marty,
Since it seems like you’re near the finish line; how do you plan to use it…and how often? https://i.postimg.cc/RC2VmcJb/D5-E52...592-EF6-E0.jpg :D |
Finishing up the PWM Wiring...well kinda (( 02-16-23 ))
Me and this Optima battery are starting to become intimate as I a have held here so many times in the last two weeks.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...06a03df-me.jpg I used stainless steel self tapping screws to secure the Adel Clamps which I acquired on one of my trips to the local Napa Autoparts. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...152c063-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c822da9-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...36a6457-me.jpg I had two area's that I wanted to add a little more protection so I wrapped this are in DEI EXO Sleeve and then wrapped it in black electrical tape to make it disappear. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...de520e9-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2989ab6-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...846f5c5-me.jpg There is actually more clearance here then it looks like. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...de451ce-me.jpg I love these connectors http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2e24602-me.jpg I staggered these so I didn't have a bulky section in the wire loom. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b1e75c2-me.jpg Fan is connected and if you look closely in the 2nd pictures you can see my new attic ladder which allows me to get to all of the parts for the car. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...544ca1e-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9296f81-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5cbf7df-me.jpg I still have to remove the Painless Performance relay and make the final battery connections. Which I plan to do tomorrow. |
So I went and did it as I ordered a box today from Amazon. Of course I also ordered a drip tray for my lift and a couple Spectra Air Filters.

Mike Norris Catch Can...Do I really need it ?? (( 02-17-23 ))
So I have had this Norris Catch can since the Syborg truck and I feel like I should install it on the car.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a966337-me.jpg It fits really nice right here and I can lower it down a little bit. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7303abb-me.jpg |

Anvil Carbon/Fiberglass Inner Fender Install (( 02-18-23 ))
I can't tell you how excited I am to install the drivers side inner fender.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...71ff2f4-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e309f00-me.jpg Just one more thing out of my Attic Office http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...06dbc1a-me.jpg Thankfully I have a bunch of sheets of cardboard. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...548dd3e-me.jpg I needed to run to Home Depot for a few 5/16'' Fender Washer (no I didn't as I found them days later) so I could secure the Anvil inners to the fender. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3ce49fd-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...eea06ca-me.jpg I also installed the Rad Rides hardware while I was here as I don't plan to take these off again. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4906899-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...16f56d4-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f8e3286-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...062e346-me.jpg The Air filter is close but I think I can make it work. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cff2e3e-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3231e31-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2ab0354-me.jpg I swapped in a smaller filter just to see how it looked and how it fit. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...900565e-me.jpg There is plenty of room but it just doesn't look right. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...900565e-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6df1ea2-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e75b3d4-me.jpg Bigger looks better http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0f16e4c-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fa7adf8-me.jpg I started working out again and wanted to see if I could lift the battery with the left arm. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...136f768-me.jpg Yep, Not a problem at since it's an empty case. |

Final Intake Tube Mock Up (( 02-21-23 ))
Once again I played with the intake tube so I can get the bracket made to support the intake tube.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...062e346-me.jpg I used the blue tape to reference where the tubes need to be once the clamps are tight. What you can't see is how far I had to push everything into the couplers. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6ea25d4-me.jpg You can see where I plan to install the bracket from the fan shroud to the intake tube. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f172b40-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9efb8c1-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6b146dd-me.jpg More ARP Hardware. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f8e3286-me.jpg Apparently I forgot to tighten the exhaust clamps when Dr EFI Andrew was setting up the tune on the car. Good News they are now tight and at the proper angle so they are above the frame rail. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a3fb3c9-me.jpg Fuel Level Wiring complete http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e6e455c-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0c37aee-me.jpg How could I have used this many tools http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b5e25cb-me.jpg |
2nd Chance Screaming Chicken DBW Pedal Bracket (( 02-25-23 ))
I ordered this bracket a long long time ago and somehow misplaced it. When I ordered I told Dave at Screaming Chicken
that the best way to find it is to order another one. Well, I was correct as the day I went out to the garage to install the bracket I found the first one I ordered. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8636261-me.jpg Step One - Remove the DBW Assembly http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d581ebb-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f929129-me.jpg Step Two - Remove the factory pedal. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...38bfe8f-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...be2525e-me.jpg Step Three - Cut out this Template http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f61ccfd-me.jpg Step Four - Place the Template and Drill a hole in the target. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...de388a3-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e7b5abe-me.jpg Step Five -- Remove my bad ass Billet Pedal http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cef5e16-me.jpg Pictures for reference http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a43aa99-me.jpg Step Six -- Install Pedal on the new bracket from the guys at Screaming Chicken. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ae540d0-me.jpg One of the features I like with this bracket is it allows me to move the pedal over roughly 1/4" which I think is what I need to miss the carpet on the trans tunnel. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0278e32-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...985c900-me.jpg Eventually I did move it over to the other side and it clears the carpet http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...95fc5c3-me.jpg One thing that I will have to do is replace the nut that I am using as a spacer. If you are using a factory pedal you won't have this issue. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e6ce358-me.jpg |
Great progress. I am glad you posted info about your air filter as I’ve been wanting to ask questions about it for months. So THANK YOU. It looks like it will fit my junk perfectly.
Thanks again, Jim |
Marty,
Good job on the pedal! Andrew |
I know I'm the minority here but every time I see an K&N air filter I think back to this story my buddy told me last year - how he'll never use a K&N air filter again.
He had 2 different vehicles with problems resulting purely from those filters. "It's the oil on them. It ruined the MAF sensors. 01 Silverado and 18 Diesel Cruze. 65,000 miles and 82,000 respectively and poof! Sensors went bad." FWIW I guess. |

For the Love of Carbon I love my little Cut Off Wheel (( 02-28-22 ))
Since I am using the Afco LS Radiator setup which is larger then the stock radiator I need to modify this beautiful Anvil Carbon
Fiber Radiator Cover. Out comes my trust Dremel with the tiny cut off wheel. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9606b5f-me.jpg In the next two pictures you can see how much needs to be removed. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5ed4e6f-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...60b61c8-me.jpg All Better !! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b367d1f-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c144d2b-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...14c1ea3-me.jpg I will need to install Nutserts since this piece uses the out most holes. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...14452eb-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ad5ca02-me.jpg I have had the closeout panels since the first build and I contacted Anvil to see if they have one that matches the radiator cover. They do have one that matches and they are taking very good care of me and sending me one that matches perfectly. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...49a78e6-me.jpg |

Dr EFI Andrew - Wiring Specialties Coil Harness Redo (( 03-02-23 ))
Once again Dr EFI Andrew to the rescue. Since, I had given up on moving the wire (Yes I failed and so did a couple other Guys ) Andrew
told me to ship it to him and less then a week later it was back and it worked perfect. Thank you again Andrew you are the best !!! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...36fffb0-me.jpg I remove the Painless Harness that I borrowed from a friend. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...85ff1d8-me.jpg As you can see it's not as pretty as the Wiring Specialties Harness http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...20bea52-me.jpg Wiring Specialties Harness going back in. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a90f40a-me.jpg All Better http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1b5c5a7-me.jpg Let's not forget the passenger side. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4e51745-me.jpg All Better. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...38aa77e-me.jpg |
Holley Dash Wiring (( 03-03-23 ))
I can't tell you how excited I am to be working on the interior and yes the Christmas Tree is still up and it has not come down since 2002.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...004cc44-me.jpg Pieces and Parts http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...95134ea-me.jpg The Dash insert comes with a very nice bracket to support the Holley Dash. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...009f59f-me.jpg I needed to clean out the threads as the supplied hardware would not screw in. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f05becc-me.jpg Another quick trip to on the four Home Depots within 3 miles of my home. I purchase yet another (can't find mine) 2" Hole Saw. My plan is to drill a slightly smaller hole then necessary which will allow for a tighter fit. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5696d71-me.jpg Cluster Installed. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...73c55f7-me.jpg You can see where I plan to install the Autometer Analog Clock. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ec732ff-me.jpg I poke a small hole in the ''Classic Dash" Surround. Link to the surround https://classicdash.com/product/1970...ck-dash-panel/ http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...23c8b8b-me.jpg I put down multiple layers of blue tape to protect the Dash Surround. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...24807de-me.jpg Hole is drilled and I will clean it up with a Dremel & round sanding disk. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...64c6447-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9c9b509-me.jpg Ugh more wires... http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...84b75b7-me.jpg I installed a 3/16'' heat shrink on the three loose wires. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e54451c-me.jpg The main harness is secured to the firewall ad all other loose wires are currently being held in by twist ties. Once the wiring is complete some of the twist ties will be replaced with zip ties. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cd40816-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a3749c8-me.jpg Wiring Notes http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7caec52-me.jpg Opps I found another wire I need to connect and yes I am going to use a switch on this one. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...305390b-me.jpg |
Autometer Clock Wiring (( 03-05-23 ))
Finally wiring that is stupid simple.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3af6407-me.jpg. I installed a little bit of the Tech-Flex sleeve on the power & ground. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...be16b21-me.jpg I need to extend the illumination wires. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b8ca5b0-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b748690-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a85d1f1-me.jpg I am telling you guys you all need a bike Mechanics stand. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c91b0d3-me.jpg |
Holley Dash Wiring (( 03-05-23 ))
Routing the wires for the Holley Dash
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2316542-me.jpg I tried to make the power wires look factory even though no one will ever see them. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c32a32a-me.jpg Of course I labeled all of them. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fe6bab3-me.jpg Since I am not using the factory radio I am going to use the power from the radio harness to power the Holley Dash. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...88c4f64-me.jpg I dug out the wiring diagram for the radio so I know where to connect the wires. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ecde559-me.png |
Anvil Radiator Close Out. (( 03-09-23 ))
I just want to say the guys at Anvil are the best. I called them and told them my closeout panel didn't match the inner fenders
and the new radiator cover. Immediately I received an email from them and they took unbelievable care of me. Here is the new piece that arrived in the mail days later. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b0391c4-me.jpg It's a perfect match and they have unbelievable, customer service and I can't say enough kind words. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6ef3218-me.jpg Since the Coil Harness is new perfect (( Thank You Andrew AKA Dr EFI )) I secured the harness to the back of the cylinder head. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1075dff-me.jpg Secured http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0de9ce1-me.jpg |
Anvil Carbon Inner Fender Install (( 03-11-23 ))
I can't tell you how excited I am to get both of the inner fenders in the car and thankfully Mike is coming over to help me with the passenger side.
::poke: Certain wire will need to be extended. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...db8b342-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...dd2e166-me.jpg You can see how the wires are routed under the fender. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2af2d28-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fb9b47b-me.jpg One more piece of the car out of my attic office. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3469f39-me.jpg If you look closely on the left you can see a very cool old stadium seat. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4cc2632-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...daf921c-me.jpg Mike and I slid the inner fender in and of course we needed to modify it just a little bit to clear the brake line bracket. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...02dca41-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8854324-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...702bffc-me.jpg All better however I am considering making a rubber rain shield to close up the opening. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6dc48c1-me.jpg Roller is back on http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9b43b69-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...bd675fd-me.jpg |
Looks awesome! :king:

Cleaning Up ((03-12-23 ))
Cleaning Up the last little bit of wiring before I install the Vintage Air Unit.
I put labels on a few of the wires just in case I ever need to look at them. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f1b4690-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4dee8d8-me.jpg I put Nylock nuts on the speaker bracket http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6372ea7-me.jpg I also labeled a few more wires from the Holley ECU http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d60e894-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0e0d5b0-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1611daa-me.jpg Tucked it neatly on the firewall above the steering column. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cc52568-me.jpg Time to trim the carpet around the Holley Transmission Harness. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d7eb389-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2c1d4b4-me.jpg There was a minor gap in the grommet so I filled it with Silicone. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fa4e454-me.jpg Okay, this was fun. Time to reshape the carpet with the Heat Gun and it is very important that you heat the backside of the carpet not the front. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...03b4a0d-me.jpg All better. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...737d872-me.jpg |
You sure got your moneys worth with the label maker. Lol. I def want one. :secret:

Neutral Saftey Switch (( 03-12-23 ))
It's all about the detail and being able to service / get to / find all of the wires if your on the side of the road broke down.
I need/want to route the wiring for the neutral safety switch through one of the shifter brackets versus around the bracket. Doing this will direct it straight up to the firewall. I took a couple reference pictures so I don't have to try to remember where the wires plug in. The good news is I can only actually screw up two of the wires. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d6215e7-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...31887a1-me.jpg Sorry this is a terrible picture but the bracket is laying on the carpet is the one that needs to be modified. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f9c71c5-me.jpg I started by using smaller drill bits stepping them up slowly till I got to the 5/8'' bit. I tried to use a step bit but that SOB ripped the bracket right out of my hand. Trust me using the 1/2 drill scares me but I did drill very slow. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...413cbfa-me.jpg After the hole was drilled I filed it into a square hole since no one make a square drill bit. Well that is a lie as the do make them for wood working. Trust me look it up. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0bbbbf7-me.jpg It took a couple tries to get the size correct. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9bd1371-me.jpg A little bit of touch up paint. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1e89a41-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2d3311a-me.jpg |

Misc Stuff (( 03-12-23 ))
I figured I might as well label this wire as I know 6 months from not I am going to have no clue what it is for.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0e0d5b0-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1611daa-me.jpg Last mounting point for the Holley Harness is being installed today. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a4873e8-me.jpg Plugging in the Holley Dash http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ed892f6-me.jpg Love this stuff http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6243197-me.jpg I put a little to much on the base of the Mag Daddy Magnet mount...Opps http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7230c20-me.jpg I moved back the sound deadening so I could bound them directly to metal. I love using the Mag Daddy magnets while the I am working on the car as i can move the mounts around as needed. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...60fa3c6-me.jpg I am still on the fence if I am going to install Kick panel speakers.

Vintage Air Heater Hose Routing (( 03-17-23 ))
I started working on the hose routing and the good news I don't plan to make it permanent just yet as I keep changing my mind.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e5b79b0-me.jpg I need to find a pre-bent hose from the Autoparts store that will jog around the massive Anvil Carbon Inner Fenders. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0b54fe0-me.jpg I also need to make sure the battery wires are not effected by the location of the hoses. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...180efac-me.jpg Hose # 1 would have been perfect if only it was a 5/8's hose. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c087061-me.jpg Hose #2 looks like it will work and it's a 5/8's hose. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7ae0e1f-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5b56718-me.jpg Napa Part # 11529 http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7d7c01c-me.jpg Yes, I label everything http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7619cc2-me.jpg I settled on these two hoses. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e772ed2-me.jpg and NO I am not making the final connections as my brain isn't convince this is going to work. |

Holley Dash & Autometer Clock Wiring (( 03-18-23 ))
I am finally installing the Autometer Clock wire harness and as you can see I stacked the clocks instructions with
the American Auto Wire instructions below it. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1a8e27b-me.jpg Since I am going to pull the power and lights on from the headlight switch I needed to find the switch. Well, I search for it for 20 minutes and then realized I had already installed on the Classic Dash surround. DA !!!! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4be3cf0-me.jpg I powered the car back up and plugged in the switch and started testing the circuits till I found the two I needed. The one that is labeled Ign On is actually lights on. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...bec2d09-me.jpg Labeled the Clocks harness. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a611688-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6ead7e1-me.jpg I then moved on to wire routing and installed a few more Mag Daddy Magnets. I love these things !!! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3c6c9f6-me.jpg Simple push them into the sound deadening and then trim it out with an Exacto Knife. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f6f8547-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...36e0d9e-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1456d6e-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b7da049-me.jpg Note to self the Blue/White wire is for a Tach Signal. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...990c364-me.jpg Calling it a night. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ff5bbe9-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...80045d6-me.jpg |
