The electrical portion was what I feared most. And that may explain why I am still using the original fuse block and interior harness, as well as the front light harness. A SPO's attempt at a one wire alternator and jimmy rigged wipers left the original engine harness in a pretty serious mess. Exacerbated by the awfully dreadful OEM buss fuse connection for distributing power...I had no choice but to dive in. Out came the manuals and wiring diagrams. I was installing an MSD ignition and an HEI distributor so a few more changes were in order. I ended up using a Jeg's distribution block with all new fusible links and tossing the majority of the stock harness. I installed a trunk mounted battery along with a remote solenoid since the headers made accessing the starter impossible and I wanted to use my bump starter for initially setting the valve lash. Someday if I still have the car and am feeling the need for self induced torture, I may convert the whole car to the new Isis multiplex system, that seems nifty...albeit confusing. But what the heck, I built a car in my garage...what could be worse?
I also chose to run a set of Spaghetti Engineering's Digitails. Man are they cool...I've got them set on sequential, it freaks people out. I mostly wanted the minivans to not rearend me on my way to the office. I shuddered at the thought of using 40 year old incandescent bulbs and engineering in today's traffic...especially at Sun up and Sun down. There is a LOT of wires for those babies though, and most of it is still in the trunk....
