Here is the latest on my build. Had to go away from using the OEM Hard oil line because it does clear the RJ bulkhead mount. So, I went to with a Patrick hardline, AN tank adaptor and aeroquip line ($270 all in from PMS shipped). I may end up changing the support for the hardline to the engine case as it was all I had on hand. Overall I am pretty happy with how this came together. I haven't build up aeroquip lines in many years so that was fun.

OK I am trying to keep the ball rolling on this project. A few years ago I had Patrick Motorsports build me up and engine bay wiring harness. I decided to keep the stock relay board from my 75 2.0 in place. PMS built the harness and retained the relay board connector with the necessary modifications/pin outs. They also sent me a wiring harness pigtail (pictured below) as I told them I was going to run a MSD box and tach adapter. Tonight I took everything out of the boxes, laid them on the garage floor and labled them for easy reading and identification. My question is...Is everything here and should I take a leap of faith with some help from all of you to wire this sucker up or... should I suck it up...break out my wallet and just let a professional handle this part of my project??

These are not too hard to figure out, can't be because I did mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Did you solder on connectors or use waterproof crimp style and then heat shrink?

I continue to make progress. Spent yesterday installing all the brake lines. Additionally, I finally removed the AC hoses that were in the car from years ago. They were a real bugger to get out....Last week installed the hand throttle kit I bought from the group buy...still have to install the wing plate on the pedal end. Next up is installing the MSD box in the trunk. I still dont feel comfortable tackling the engine harness wiring....need some more encouragment.

Did not notice your question until now.

I always crimp and heat shrink connectors and don't solder.

Well things are progressing. The shop that built my Motor (Formerly Zotz Garage NOW German Excellence) was tasked with checking out the engine and dash gauge wiring, getting the engine fired up, tuning the carbs and aligning the front and rear suspension. The motor fired today for the first time! A sweet sound to my ears after so many years of work on this project. There a few more details to work out....and the plan is to drive the car up to the Tropical Ramble next week! Click the YouTube link below and enjoy the sound.
