Hi Carl, oegmparts.com was my source for this. No other updates as I have been really busy with other stuff this summer - hope to get back in the garage this weekend and resume the project. Jim

Thst sucks. If Doug Flynn isn't at Holley's site, he often checks in at the EFI forum at ChevyTalk.com. Doug is a great source and there are also some very sharp users of the Holley EFI that I've found very helpful. Jim

I bought all the harnesses unterminated to avoid exaclty what you are going through. The only downside is that it looks even more like spaghetti when starting from scratch. I'll start playing with it after I get the current project running and smogged. Under the passenger seat is a good...

I like the Sta-Lube "Sta-Plex Extreme Pressure Premium Red Grease" for all my suspension and steering joints. You can get it in standard cartridges at Harbor Freight. Jim

Yep, these mounts still had another 1" to go rearwards if I lost the AC, but this is supposed to be my civilized car :cool: Jim

How it looked when I finished the night: Looks like I'll need to relocate the #8 coil inwards maybe an inch - pretty easy mod. I thought clearance was going to be more of a problem with the AC. Took off a bunch of the remaining masking from painting and install protection. I'm much happier...

It took a little dancing between the height of the jack under the car, the hoist and the tilter, but I got it in without major drama. I wanted the car as low as possible but the long legs of the hoist had to clear the front suspension bits and Ridetech brace. I put some foam on the tip of the...

Got a decent amount done today and ended up with the motor and tranny mated for the first time. Yesterday after work I cleaned the transmission and shot it with clear as well, also the cast transmission cover that goes on the bottom after it's all it. No way am I laying down under that on the...

Lots going on, working on different sections, waiting on a couple parts, stripped a special locknut so I'm waiting for a replacement (old torque wrench way out of spec) before I can button up the driver's side front suspension & brakes. Masked off the basic motor, removed sensors, plugged...

Yep, ordered both. Jim

Thanks, cuz I just had them out and everything is out of the way - this is the time to do it. X-Ray, what size front wheel and tire did you end up running? Anyone else do this and have some feedback about what they were able to stuff in there reliably? Jim

Do you need to remove the fender liners to install the wheelhouse patches? Thanks, Jim

Hi Bishir, You may need a smaller bore MC when you go manual, for proper pedal travel and feel. The stock pedal has another hole already, up higher on the pedal arm, that increases the leverage to the point needed for the manual brakes. Sometimes a brake pad change is useful depending on what...

Made some progress this weekend. Got the new proportioning valve for 4-wheel disks in there, cleaned all the brake plumbing and blew it out with air pressure. Painted some brackets, only the modified tranny linkage one shown here (extended 2" to the rear with a welded in plate to accommodate...

Looks like fun! Lots of specific Holley EFI help over at ChevyTalk in the EFI section. Jim
