To make the new car more street friendly, the 70 HPQ had to go, the CEA 6266 from Bison arrived today

Some progress. Drive line is now complete, along with a new steering shaft with a second joint and shaft support. Finally, all the hydroboost and power rack and pinion plumbing is done.

Built the tray and installed the 4.5 pound lithium-ion battery over the weekend. For the naysayers, I ran this battery for two months in my Jeep as a test. No issues whatsoever.

Built a throttle bracket and mocked up the LOKAR cable today.

That's looking good. I like the looks of the stainless braided throttle cable!

It's a Christmas miracle!! Progress today, installed all six coils and made a bracket to install the TR6 module vertically.

Got the interior chromed out.

Did you use the same sound deadening pads on the roof? The sticky black tar kind? I put the same in my 69 Camaro on the floor. I heard a lot of complaints about the tar dripping after the car is in the heat. From the time I ordered till I installed, Eastwood came out with a warning not to use overhead. Don't know if you used different stuff, I know they now offer 5 or 6 different kinds.

From what I read, some of the lower priced stuff is asphalt based, the stuff I spec'd is butyl based so hopefully no issues. Thanks for the comment. Scott

Mostly done with the new accessory bracket. I really wanted to run a modern AC compressor so I started from scratch and made it work. Still need to source a belt but I don't foresee a problem with that.

That is starting to look like a brand new engine! I am sure you can find a belt. What I do when making a custom drive system like that is to make a "mock up" belt. I take an old belt and cut it. Then I drill a hole in the end, and fasten it back together with wire or cable ties. Then I can keep cutting off more belt little by little until I find it fits the way I want it. After that, it's just a matter of having a store measure the belt you created, and sell you one that length.

I dig the new compressor, looks great.

 

[rwcarnut]

Looks great I would like to do something like that to mine once I get it running.

Scott, are those D581 coils?

 

[TurboTGuy]

I just came across this thread.

Looks mighty nice!

It's great you're back, Scott!

Scott, are those D581 coils?

Not sure. I got them off Ebay. They were supposed to be AC Delco LS2 coils but they came in plain brown boxes so I'm counting on having to replace them LOL.
