Last update....., she's done. - 03/05/09 04:58 AM
Gradually getting this thing ready to drop in the new bullet. Been re-doing plumbing, wiring, etc.
As a point of reference, here is what it looked like before.
So I posted pics before of the new down bars, paint, brake lines, etc. Now we're getting to the wiring.
We basically made new harnesses and used the stock bulkhead connecters. MSD and two-step is mounted behind the glovebox door. New harness that is connected through the bulkhead connecter is mounted on the inner firewall. It has junction blocks for power, the MSD, and the linelock/transbrake wires.
Here is the brake and line lock junction block. That switch above the junction block is a starter switch for bumping over the motor when adjusting valves. The thing going through the grommet is the tube for the mechanical water temp sensor.
Here is the MSD junction block. The wire to the right going through the grommet is the alternator wire going back to the battery.
Here is the firewall and passenger innerfender. Idea was to tuck all the wires away and keep the engine bay as clear and uncluttered as possible. That thing in the middle of the firewall below the starter button is the temp gauge sending unit. I'll adding a -3 an bulkhead connecter next to it to hook up the oil pressure capillary tube.
Engine harness follows underneath the down bar along with the alt wire and will bridge to the motor behind the motorplate.
Last one, light and electic cooling fan harness runs along inner fender in stock location.
Just have to do the oil pressure line, install the new fuel pump, make new brackets for mounting the alt with the new motor plate and we'll be ready to put in the motor. Hopefully its in by end of day on Saturday.
