Long day... but I managed to get some stuff done on the motor. A123 and GoWesty are in! New harness are sort of in. A lot of the hoses and wires are just laying on top of the motor until I figure out how I want to route everything. Seems like a shame to treat those new harnesses like that, Jeff did a BEAUTIFUL job on all three harnesses, they are beautiful. I am not really into the band clamps for the intake: they are big and clumsy looking. I am rying to figure out a better solution there, maybe just trimming the ends will make them less obnoxious? What do you all recommend?
