Billy,
Finished with the wiring diagram except for a few final issues. To get the oil pressure gage wiring to the console, I am using #9 on the car harness that ran to the heater lever. That wire is green/white and will have to be extended about a couple of feet to reach the console. I have the soldering type connectors and heat shrink to make a great splice, just need a length of green/white wire, 14 gage and about 10 feet long. I will need to add a connector to the engine harness at position #9 with about 6 to 8 feet of the green/white also. Would you have this wire already or can you get it? Also the coil wiring from the MSD to the coil is black( I have some) and orange ( don't have). Same thing here, about 8 to 10 feet of orange ga.12 (14 ga. will do also). If you can get those let me know and I won't search for them.
Here is a picture of what I have. View it and let me know if you see something I have missed or done incorrectly.
Tom

Here's the new main fuse block that Tom makes. I'm not sure if the wiring is configured the way he likes it yet, but its easy to unbolt the bar and move them around.

Panelbilly,

First, your build is simply incredible and following this thread has been a treat.

Maybe I missed it in some earlier post but can you tell us about the origin/displacement of the engine?

The engine is a 3.0 out of a '79 SC. I picked it up from a shop that had agreed to sell it for a customer who was having a 3.2 or 3.6 put in for them. It was a running engine, but I never started it. Somewhere on this site is some documentation of me taking the engine apart

I installed some more nutserts in the back of the engine bay to bolt in the voltage regulator.

I had the vent tube cut off and a bung welded on the filler neck so the hose would fit to both it and the oil breather. Axles should be shipped tomorrow!

A few issues:

I need to get the plates that are on top of the transmission mounts and the big washer that goes on the bottom. Can't find them in my pile of parts.

I went to connect the axles to the transmission flange and realized the wheels would turn. It was the bolts! They're too long. Here's a photo of them on the transmission side. Looks to me like the wrong size got put with my order. I hope I didn't mess anything up when I tighten them to the wheel hubs

Teener Tuesday?!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) That has to be so satisfying to finally see the engine and car together. Great job.
