I've probably read this thread 15 times lol. Your not far away from hearing it.
Where did you mount your fuse/relay board?
Got a couple tasks knocked out this weekend. Started by pulling all the original fuel lines out of the car along with the factory fuel filter and bracket. I was hoping to get them out in one piece but with the sub-frame connectors being in the way I just elected to cut them out. I then blew out all the new fuel lines and mounted them into the car for the last time. I used the stock brackets where I could and riveted them into place so they are nice and solid. I also started installing the battery relocation kit. I still need to get the power wire routed back under the RSD and to the box but the hard part is done with drilling a hole to get through the fire wall. I also decided to wrap the cable with texflex to help hide it a little.
The return line was just long enough to route it parallel to the pump feed line. I was nervous as I new it would bother me if the lines didn't flow together, but in the end it worked out.
Other small tasks I finished included replacing the pedal covers, re-installing the AC lines (except for one, looks like it will need at least one custom line to fit), also mocked up the exports to see how they will look. At the end of the day I took them back off though and boxed them up to keep them safe while I finish the car.
I have been in talks with Kurgan to get a start up tune and maf for the car so once those come in I can really think about the first start up and begin the break in process.
Looks great! You're real close to start-up now!
Don't be surprised if you have to trim your fender liner because of how the fuel lines are routed. I ran mine the same way and wound up having to cut the liner a little.
Do you have any diagram of how you're wiring your battery relocation? I'm throwing around the idea of doing one this winter and always like to see how others do theirs. Everyone seems to have their own idea about how it should be done.
Thanks, I am really chomping at the bit to hear it run again. After I tied all the lines and took a look I thought the liner will need trimmed a little. I tried to get the lines as close as possible to the old vapor line but with hose that big its just a little much. My wiring at the moment is really simple and has no shut off switch so it will need redone if I plan on going to any track events. As for now I just hooked the main power from the battery to the starter with a 200 amp inline fuse. Then the stock starter power wire that use to hook to the battery is cut and hooked up the the power distribution block similar to factory. Then the factory ground and new battery ground are just hooked to the chassis.
Like I said this is just a really simple relocation and will require the addition of a safety shut off switch if I want to take the car to any tack events. But for the purpose of getting the car going it should work.
Your killing me man! That factory paint on your car?
I got a few hours a day to work on her car, not much. But I love your thread. Your attention to detail is Grade A.
