I don’t know what you’ve done to this thread but it’s become unreadable for me - the text is so tiny I can’t begin to see it....

I didn't change anything but for some reason the pics are showing up huge now when viewed on my PC which may be making the text font smaller for you. Thanks for coming by and helping out today Greg. It helps to have reassurance from someone that has been there, done that to know that I'm at least on the right track with this project. You look great BTW. :D |
So, everything up top fits...

Next up, wiring... I'm looking for a spark plug recommendation. Specs for the engine call for a AC Delco MR43LTS which I've used before but they are a pain around my headers. Recently I ran a NGK R5724-8 which was nice because it's shorter and easier to get around headers...but it is not available in resistor which I now need. Because one is a "marine" plug and the other is a "race" plug, I seem to be running into dead ends trying to find a shorty resistor plug. Heads are GM Fastburns. Any suggestions? |
Looks great! Are you going to make Inde this weekend?

Last Sat was 3 weeks from the start so I missed that deadline...Lord willing and the creeks don't rise I should be close to ready to fire by the end of week 4.
Engine itself is pretty buttoned up, spacer mod worked great, headers and mid pipes are back on with new graphite gaskets that fit great, V Band clamps and O2 bung worked out great as well. We'll see if there are any leaks once it makes heat... Up top got all of the vacuum lines arranged and hooked back up. I have a bit of an issue with the AC line and the new raised radiator hose that I didn't plan on, it'll be fine for now but this may be the straw that humps me into finally getting my 34 year old lines replaced properly... New starter wire, new alt charge wire and new engine to battery ground wire are in place on engine side and all ECU harness leads are at the battery area. Next up is wiring up a relay center and making all electrical connections to relay center and battery posts. Also need to run a power wire to the coil and tach signal wire to the gauge module. Then once that is all done, making some fuel lines and installing the tank...then we test everything and make heat... https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._105130-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._161552-XL.jpg Gave these a new coat of Eastwood's high temp ceramic coating since they were out. last coat lasted over 3 years and still looked pretty good. https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._102952-XL.jpg O2 port put the top of the sensor a little closer to floor than I would have preferred but it'll be okay. Someday I'll redo the whole exhaust properly and fix it then. https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._130358-XL.jpg That's it for now...y'all are up top date... :D |
Looks good, Lance!

Got my relay box bracket fabbed and mounted along with my positive and negative distribution lugs.
https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._123148-XL.jpg It's behind the headlight in front of the core support right ahead of the battery. Pretty protected yet should be pretty easy to access as well if needed. Pinned the wires to the fan relays to get my feet wet, went pretty well I think. Now onto the fun stuff... https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._130923-XL.jpg Hope this works... **fingers crossed** https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._130934-XL.jpg |
