Stopped by the shop today to check out progress on the Nova and work through some questions on wiring with Kurt and his team. They’re nearly finished with the wiring, and doing a great job of routing the wiring and plumbing neatly and out of sight. A/C, heater hoses and heater control valve all hidden under the passenger inner fender well. The heater hoses and A/C hoses that are shown in the pictures routed into the engine compartment aren’t yet cut and fit to the water pump and A/C compressor. Once those are fit, we will secure those hoses and route them more neatly into the engine compartment.
The pulse width modulation fan control module is also mounted under the passenger inner fender well, as is the A/C drier. The output from the PWM fan control module is wired into a really slick Spal harness that splits the single set of output wires to the fan into two sets of outputs to feed each of the Spal fans, all using Spal wiring connectors. The dual wiring harness is fed through the inner fender well at the base of the radiator and plugs into the fans along the bottom of the radiator - barely visible in the engine compartment.
Wiring is all ready to go for headlights, parking lights, etc. The headlights are LED with halos. The halos function as daytime running lights and are white, except when you use the turn signals, when the halos flash amber with the turn signals. A little tricky to figure out the wiring as the instructions weren’t very good, but we got it figured out.
The A/C condenser is mounted nicely and A/C lines will be run discretely through core support. Once all of the A/C lines to the condenser, as well as oil cooler and power steering cooler hoses have been measured and fit to the radiator, we’ll pull the radiator and have it powder coated (except for the core itself). Hood latch still needs to be painted...
Holley engine harness is connected, but hidden nicely under fuel rail covers. Engine bay is really clean. We need to powder coat the air intake, which isn’t shown here, but first need to weld in a bung for PCV connection.

Kurt was working on installation of Rick’s tank and VaporWorx PWM fuel control module as I was leaving. Hope to have that installed tomorrow. Great to see continued progress!
