That's so damn funny about those horns! My guess is they were mating in a box somewhere and when finished with their business -- they just went back to being where the last 'idiot' left them… I personally hate that when it happens to me. Did I ever tell ya bout looking for a screwdriver all day --- and some azzwipe had put it in my back pocket?


When people have me come "help" them figure out how to start their wiring projects -- I always give them this simple advice (it comes from having to wire fireworks shows with 1000's of pairs of wires). Just start with ONE wire -- forget about all the others there -- pick it up -- run it (leave it a bit long and leave it loose)… label it or terminate it…. go back and pick up another one… do this repeatedly until done. LOL


I hate wiring (well not really) - but it really isn't ever as hard as a "newb" thinks it is. I know you're not a newb at this.. just sayin'.

Default Okay, little too much napping going on.

We wait for days for the next update and that's all we get.

Keep plugging away, I'd like to see this on Power Tour 2014, not 2015.

Have a Merry Christmas.

Been working on the car every day........I am just about finished with the wiring in the Engine compartment......got the fan relay's installed along with the Battery cables, Dakota digital lines for the relays......fuel system wires all installed for the Vaporworx system.......The pressure Module was just finished up and is in transit....I also have all the Vintage Air wires hooked up........I also have the trans cooler lines fit and installed..........This Voltmeter guy stuff never ends.......But.....I did spin the engine over today.......Getting close.......No pictures of progress because everything looks the same......LOL.....Getting close to tackling that pile of wire on the inside of the car......







Merry Christmas to All!!

I got the inlet tube welded up and I just need to make and weld in the Mass Air Flow mount fitting..........I also got my Vaporworx fuel pump controller......gonna make a bracket today to get it mounted and get it finish wired up today.......All the wires seem to terminate around the Battery and the one I'm using is both a top post and side post.....makes it a lot easier to tap into for battery power.....the mass of wires look like a mess but when the Battery is in everything falls into place.......Getting Closer....

Wow you've been a mighty busy boy Ken! Looking good! I like the brushed look on the inlet tube.

Did I ever tell you I hate wiring? LOL I've spent DAYS making it all just go away... UGH! The stuff just is... Well I can't even think of any comparison right now that wouldn't get me tossed off here.

I got the Fuel Pump controller (Vaporworx) all installed and finish wired............It needed to be near the Battery so I made a bracket to mount the module inside the fender right there........worked out pretty good........I was also going to make the mount for the Mass Airflow sensor and after stopping at Frame-up Wheelworks.....Donnie told me that GM has them already made and ready for welding......and he just happened to have one......Lucky!!!!......
