Finally and I mean finally I get to figure out where & how I am going to install the new Holley Terminator X.

The "X" is the newest box and it is significantly smaller then the last model.






After look

So I have been trying to figure out where the harness is going to exit & this is one possible location.



The plan to would be to tuck the wire behind the vintage Air unit hang them with adell clamps.





Mounting Bracket Idea.

I had Dennis at High Speed Welding make me the bracket for the Holley ECI.





Not sure if Kenny made this bracket or Vintage air supplied. Either way I am drilling a hole in it.



Quick trip to Ace Hardware for the necessary hardware and yes I will be using nylock nuts on the bracket as I would have to pull the dash to get to it if it came loose.




Mounted on the Vintage Air Bracket





Started plugging things in and it appears we are good to go.




And of course I need to get more of these to anchor the Holley Harness





On a side not I plan to install the lower dash dash to make sure it is hidden.

Default Finally Caught up

I want to keep the engine bay as original looking as possible so I am not trying to hide the wire. I need to order a new firewall wire gutter so I can route the body harness back to the factory location.



Now that I have determined the power leads for the ECU are going to exit the passenger side cowl and head directly to the battery I am going to have to remove the inner fender.

Time to take out the battery



and here is the billet Battery Tray we made for 2nd Gen Camaro's. I think I have a few left if anyone is interested and has no desire to put there battery in the trunk.



Good thing my inner fenders are carbon as I am certain this little bit of metal shaving would have caused them to start rusting.



Getting ready to remove the Carbon Inner Fenders. Nervous...Yep






So do you guys think I should consider line-x the inner fender to add a little more protection from flying debris ?





Holy crap getting the headlight buckets out was a bitch and then getting to the fender hardware sucked even more.



Finally the last three bolts are out and the lower valance is hanging low enough to get the inner fender out...I hope.





It's out and will need a safe home so I may consider bringing these to my warehouse and hiding it on a rack somewhere.



Finally easy access to the cowl.

I decided that I am going to have the carriage bolts powder coated black or do you guys think I should leave them chrome.




Not sure why I take pictures of the tools that I use but I do.










So I need to order some parts and of course I created another To Do list.











and finally the reward a Trip to Dairy Queen.

I say yes to Line X'in the fenders and yes to powdercoating the bolts too.

Not sure on the Line-X, while it serves its purpose very well, the weight may offset any savings from the carbon inner fenders (?), could be wrong.
Did you want them for size or clean lines?

Funny, take the car apart while you can drive it (summer), and then have it ready for winter LOL.

Oh, do you even sleep? I didn't think they sold speed in Chicago

Don't care about weight it was a tire clearance issue.

Yep, Love how they look when you open the hood.

Problem was we couldn't get it to run right and the motor needed a diaper it leaked so much. I just couldn't take it anymore.
