Default Holley Sniper Injector Harness Cleanup ( 10-16-21 )

I have one of the early Holley Injector harness that has a white tag for the injector number which is just ugly so I rolled each label and
then wrapped in clear electrical tape. These will be hidden under the Tech-Flex wrap.







I printed new labels that I applied to each injector plug. However, they will most likely fall off but it will just make it easier to put them
where they belong when I plug everything in for the last time.



I also redid the wire wrap so the wires would be hidden from view.

Default Optima Mock Up Battery ( 10-21-21 )

I knew these existed and when I asked the Optima guys at Columbus Good-Guys last year of course they said they would call me
back. However, no one ever called so I took it upon myself to find an empty Optima Battery Case.





Now that I have one and I can prove that they actually exist.

Default Trans Coolant Line DEI Heat Sleeve ( 10-21-21 )

Hopefully this will be the last time I have to move these lines.

I installed the DEI Heat Sleeve over the soft lines as they are near the Edelbrock Shorty Header.



So while I was installing the hose I felt something on my legs and low and behold my new puppy decided he wanted to take a nap on my legs.

Default Final Fuel Line Connection To Fuel Rail ( 10-24-21 )

Having to make the last cut on the fuel line was fun and yes I was worried about cutting it to short.







This was the final line which goes under the throttle body.





I also want to make sure that the line wouldn't rub on anything.

Default The last of the wiring under the Sniper Intake ( 10-24-21 )

Making sure the last bit of wiring under the intake manifold will be safe from harm.



If you look closely you can see the fitting that Holley supplied are useless.



When we build in the intake tube we are going to weld tabs under the tube so we can zip tie the MAF wire harness under the tube.





I also ran the Drive By Wire harness under the manifold.





All of the wiring has been heat wrapped going to the starter.

Default 2nd Chance Camaro

All the wiring on my new Gt-1 car has plastic
dip over all the final connections to keep things together
and my guess prevent corrosion. Never have seen that before
Every bolt is very
hard to break loose on this car... very impressed whoever
put it together. Like dirt bikes race cars have bolts falling
off them all the time

Love the way you keep your wiring all run cleanly

Nice work, Marty! This is going to be really clean under the hood.

Thank you Bob and now you need to show the pictures of the wiring connection on your GT-1 car.

Thank you Shane and to answer your question I used the Holley PFT Line for the trans coolant lines. I talked to the guys at Holley and they said no problem and I could use this line. Man I hope he was correct. On a side note I will be connecting to the Hard Line that Kenny made.

You've set the wiring standard pretty high for the rest of us with your meticulous detail to wiring. I too went overboard with shielding wires and fluid lines around the headers and areas that give off heat, on my starter to battery cable and alternator cable I added the spark plug protector boots for an extra added measure of protection, inverted them to take out the ring.

On another note just wondering what single fan you're using? Is it for less fan/rad depth, less air intake tube interference?
Keep up the great work!

Keep up the great work!

That looks really good.

As for the single fan set up. It was part of the Afco LS Radiator / Fan shroud set up that I purchased years ago for the first version of the car. I didn’t change it because it worked so well I’m just going to leave it. I’m still trying to decide if I am going to paint the radiator, shroud and AC condenser. I might leave that for version 3.0.
