Am I finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel ??

Today's project is to connect the O2 sensor to the Holley ECU.

If you look closely you can see the wire coming from the ECU that plugs into the O2 sensor.

Since I have an excess of O2 wire I once again opened the harness up and plan to pull the O2 wire it back into the interior.

Everything looked good and I had it all taped up and ready to wrap and I discovered that there is an adapter to connect the O2 sensor harness to the Holley harness... UGH !!!

So I pulled another eight or nine inches of wire back into the interior.

All back together.

I guess there is more wiring...ugh

My Daughter came out to test her flexibility as I was wrapping it up for the night.

I swear the car looks the same every time I walk out to the garage. However, I promise I am doing a bunch of work.

So my plug wires are a little short and I just learned the the plug wire for the truck motor are a little bit longer. Can anyone confirm this for me.

So 10 minutes in the garage and I spill a large glass of Ice Tea all over my Bike Tool Box.

and of course it spilled on all of my notes

and the stuff behind my toolbox

looks like I am going to have to wash the floor.

Honestly the drumstick made me feel much better.

Back to the wiring...

I made the decision to buy the Wiring Specialties Coil Harness and wow it was worth every single dollar. I want to thank Andrew for the advise.

So I need to shorten the loom as it is insanely long.

Did the same think with 16 oz of orange gatorade Saturday. It went all over my welding bench, several pieces of 20 gauge sheet, and of course my pattern.

I didn't even consider taking pictures, lol

I take pictures of everything as it helps me with the memory loss when I see the pictures as I can visually remember the event.

This turned out to be really cool as I found a bunch of my kids homework.

The wire loom looks a little better but I am still not 100% satisfied so I will most likely be doing it over again at some point.

I placed the injector harness where it should go however my goal is to hide the wires under the manifold and have the wires run up and out to the injectors.

From the side it doesn't look to bad.

The new Drive by Wire Throttle Body that I will have to some how convince Mario to paint black.

Next up the Vaccuum line from the ECU to the underside of the manifold.

I left the hose long and will cut it when I place the manifold for the last time.

I am running an additional power & ground on the passenger side of the car. In order to keep everything neat and tidy I am running the wires inside the Holley Power/Ground wire loom.

In order to stabilize the wire loom I ran it through the grommet which I wrapped with Tessa Tape which was then covered with 3m Electrical tape to give it a finished look.

I didn't want a power source in the cabin so I choose to move it into the cowl panel.
Which should keep it out of harms way and still be easy to access.

I used a couple more Weld Studs to mount the power stud.

While the epoxy was curing I started working on the four optional wires that the Terminator X can trigger.
My thought is it is much better to run it now then figure out how to do it later.

I cut all four wire to an equal length and then installed a different color heat shrink on each wire end so I would know which one is which at a glance.

I also labeled a couple more wires while I was there.

There is a lot going on in this area and when it is finished will be easy to service. I hope !!!

Since I have an early version of Holley Terminator X I have to trigger the transmission signal with a relay.

More notes. This one is reminding me to replace the ground stud with a brass bolt.

I am also working on a solution to keep the coil harness out of harms way and look nice.

Being honest the weather was so perfect that I spend the last 10 days riding.

I also purchased a nice small heat gun which only gets hot enough to shrink the heat shrink tubing.

I finally started working on the ground stud.

Picked up a couple more parts.

I will be using this relay to trigger the fuel pump.

While I was at Good-Guys Columbus I ran into a gentleman that found an over the counter radiator hoses solution that may work in my car. I ordered them up to see how close they would be on my car and they look pretty good.

The lower looks good but it will need a swivel neck for it to work correctly.
