Time to get serious about the new EFI system. Starting with an eye-candy shot.

But more seriously, I hope to get as much plumbing and wiring, plus the throttle linkage, done with the engine out.

So here are the major components of the EFI and ignition system I need to install.
On the left, vacuum lines, fuel lines, and fuel pressure regulator. Next, plug wire kit and electronic coil. Next, air-fuel ration gauge, lamda kit, cables, and O2 sensor (with bung to be welded into exhaust). Right, the ECU, relay board, and cable to connect them. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Plus a bunch of wires to connect them all.
Looks like fun, right? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Alternator ready to install. Bob, Are you using the gaskets with the rebuild? There is one for the back cover and another kind for the front where it mates with the Tin. This front one I cannot locate. Also, I have read on here, some alternator rebuilds can have an issue with the stud for the harness inside the back grounding on the cover. Confirm there is sufficient clearance. Wouldn’t want any surprises with all that new shiny stuff. Love your build! Sean |

I made a rear gasket, and have a front gasket (plastic ring) in-bound. Good reminder on the stud--mine has good clearance (and a new rubber boot). |

Just a bit of garage time today. Here is the hole in the sheet metal for the oil pressure sensor, and now the lead for the CPS Hall sensor. This needs to be closed to contain the cooling air. Note the odd shape, with the hole centered on a fold in the sheet metal.

Let's try this: a 35 mm hole plug.

This could work, if it stays in place with air pressure inside.

Of course, the lists for the EFI and ignition are a bit longer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Bob, The eye candy shots are making me drool, all over my key board...lol Sorry for the mess. If you go back to some of my earlier posts, with lots of rust and crud, that might help. I just went out to the garage and looked at mine, dried that drool right up. I follow your posts daily and cant wait till your list dwindles down to putting that key in the ignition. |
