Thanks, Wayne!
Still plugging away on my wiring, ha ha ha... So I'll share some pics of my progress. For the most part- under the dash is done. (still have a few lights to wire in) I mounted the computer underneath the pass side of the dash along with the fuel pump relay. One day, if and when I put a HVAC system in this will all need to change. I have the wiring for the cluster all set, but I can't put that in until my replacement light socket arrives. This one little socket is the only piece I can think of so far that I have lost during the entire build of this car, which, is pretty good, actually.
In the engine bay I have the wiring harness mostly on the engine (minus the obvious not yet installed parts) and the wires mounted on the firewall. I also used an LT1 style junction block (in the far left corner, it's red, and barely in the pic). I really like these parts as they have a plastic cover helping to protect the metal and two posts for mounting wires. GM seemed to discontinue them on the LS cars. Not sure why... Still need to wire up the fans and lights. Speaking of which I picked up a set of tinted BMW style headlights. I'll have some fab work to do to get these to fit. I'm thinking I may need to pull the bumper back off to make this happen. These lights are deeper (especially the projectors). I'm hoping I can simply remove these and modify my firebird sockets/ plate and use this set up to mount the new lights. It would be best as this will locate them properly as opposed to trying to modify the BMW mounting assembly as that is way different and would take a lot of fab work to modify.
I also had some fun removing a plug on the passenger side head for installing a temp sender. Unfortunately, the plug was rounded so I ended up using these stripped bolt extractors I forgot I had. Worked awesome. I'm so glad I had them. I just tapped it on with a hammer and off it came. It wasn't even tapped on squarely... I'll recommend these from now on. I'm sold. Of course, once I did get this off the sender I have is the wrong size, so I'll need to get another one of these, ha ha.
