Funny, those are Trudy's "tools." She has all of her art shtuff, colored pencils, paint pens, stencil crap.
Why is it that my "stuff" is my stuff, and her "shit" is her shit? My tools are over by my workbench. |

Oh, OK. I thought I saw the bailing wire, plumber's tape, duct tape, a hammer and a crowbar in there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just to let those who wondered about the Patrick Motorsports engine mount; we found it very easy to install and align the engine. Probably took us about 45 minutes to bolt the engine/trans lump, all in.
Putting on the aftermarket engine tin actually proved to be more of a challenge! |

I spent the day installing stuff. Clutch cable, accelerator cable set up, and speedo cable.
Tightening up all oil lines, check, double check. It's easy to miss something. I am familiarizing myself with this ignition system, Clewett wires need to be shortened and finished on the coil(s) end. Still lots to do and, a few things to order. |

Right now, my issue isn't getting it done, it's HOW to do the wiring. I'm not quite clear on what I'm doing with the ignition system.
I think it will be a miracle if it actually starts. I think I need an electrical genius to wire this stuff. That's what is holding me up. |

Post pictures of the documentation you have and I'll see if I can lend a hand. I could probably look it up on The Google™ but I'm sooooooo lazy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/gint2.gif)

Three calls to Richard Clewett, and one to Perry Kiehl, I'm golden.
.....until I turn the key? I just kept at it, one wire and/or bunch of wires at a time. I actually think I got it. Next up is wiring the gauges. Automobile electrical work isn't my strong suit. |

Once I got my pea brain wrapped around the wiring today, I kind of got in a mode. When I was done I had a great feeling of satisfaction, but wanted to keep going. It's addicting.
I still have fuel lines to hook up, fuel pump to wire, some gauge work, headers, muffler, new rear shift linkage rod is coming tomorrow from PMS, and then install carbs permanently. Oh, I need air cleaners and breather hose. That's about it, I think? I did a direct cable accelerator set up, I'm not sure how thats going to work out. We'll see.
