ordered my master cylinder and prop valve this morning from performance online. about time!!!!!

finished wiring the dash bezel with the gauges and LED's in, now gotta do under the dash.

for now It looks like I'll be using the stock seats, have to drop the drivers seat off at an upholsterer and replace the center section cause of a rip.

almost ready to go!!

JK, mand looks very clean, how did you install the turn light Led's?

Just drilled a hole on the left and right side of the bezel and popped them in. They came in a small enclosure with a resistor already in there. Then just attach the negative to a ground and connect the correct wire from the factory plug to the positive side. I also put an led in for the high beam indicator, but that is installed where the factory one went.

Awesome thanks, looks very clean. happen to have a pic showing where the wire wil connect to? I am also doing gauges (mine are procomp I believe silver), but pretty similar.

hope this helps you out. this is the plug that plugs into the printed circuit.

left turn signal is #9, light blue wire
right turn signal is #12, dark blue wire

fuel tank sender is #1, tan wire
instrument lights are on #3, gray wire

Rene that is HUGE help thank you!

BTw removd teh LS1 and t56 from the Maro for the bird this weekend what a royal bear it was, over an hour spent fighting with the clutch line

They have a tool for the quick release fitting. its a pain without it sometimes.. I usually just remove the master & disconnect it from the pedals & leave it attached. I'm doing a 68 bird vert with LS1/4L60 right now. I'm almost done, but have put about 10 miles on it so far. Look forward to watching you progress on the swap!

Here's a vid of the LEDs working after I wired them in, must have done something right lol.

I probably did the video wrong, so here's the link.

PS, what am I doing wrong for the vids not to show up properly?
