We are looking at using the days around Christmas to use for installing the wiring. Therefore the last week or so we have been cleaning up and completing tasks all around the car. David and my brother Larry have been helping out with most of it.
Here are some of the tasks we completed
- Installed horns
- Built trunk electrical panel - This has the remote battery terminals ( for easy charging or jump starting - with the battery mounted below the fuel tank with little clearance this is a must), the fuel pump computer and a battery cutoff switch (this is used for disconnecting the battery when the car is in storage)

| two remote battery posts, disconnect switch, and fuel pump driver computer |
- Modified exhaust headers - Even though we went with the smaller aftermarket headers, they are still too big for the engine to seat correctly on the motor mount brackets. David was able to heat them up, bend them with a hammer so they cleared the mounts and now the engine is properly resting on the mounts and the headers are installed.
- Cleaned and installed the air conditioning compressor
- Installed rear brake lines
- Added engine ground strap
- Getting the wiring ready - Larry continues to remove unnecessary wires cleaning up the loom
We are ready for the weekend to get the wiring squared away, our goal is getting the engine running. Of course, we will need to hook up the fuel lines and the radiator
