A quick update...
Man work gets in the way of fun! I just got back tonight from a six day business trip. Successful - and I'm not complaining - but it looks like I'll need to be on the road quite a bit through the middle of August. Se la vie.
I have a couple of pics of what should be the complete engine bay. The harness is unplugged and so are the plug wires on the driver's side. Pretty sure we chased all the gremlins, so I hope to follow Jeff and fire this baby soon!
The shock resi brackets need to be adjusted along with organizing a couple of other lines for cleanliness, but if she runs (!), next stop is header-back exhust fab. I have a pretty good idea how that should go, but it all depends on what fits.
