[QUOTE="suicidekings, post: 16525798, member: 121833"] Seeing as how we are in a pandemic you would think that I had nothing but time however here we are months later and im now making progress on this EFI setup. I figured I would document this setup as many have been asking about it and I feel like this holds me accountable to actually keep progress going on the car. A couple weeks ago I decided that I would take the harness apart as I don't want it to be as visible as it would need to be if I didn't take it apart. This would also require me to rip my interior out as well so I could drill some holes and route wires.
