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.

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

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 |

Are we going to have a "fire it up" day where we gather on a Tuesday?

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