After the car arrived form paint jail, assembly of body bolt –ons began along with the laying out the electrical systems. We will be integrating the following into the factory harness:
Twin Electric fans w/ controller
Keyless door and trunk entry
Relayed door locks and windows
Modern Stereo
T56 Transmission
Remote battery in trunk
ECU power for future EFI
Electric fuel pump for future EFI
Adding a relay/ fuse box for fans, ecu, Fuel pump, A/C, & head lights
Electric Speedometer
An updated wiring diagram will be made as well. I do my best to keep wiring codes similar to the factory for easy diagnosis and identification. (Pink- Ign Hot, Red – Bat hot, Orange – Fused Hot, ect) Tracer wire & gauges then go to individual components. All this and try to keep it looking factory. Takes a good bit of planning and time, but worth the effort when it all works.
Beginning of the electrical adventure
Above is all nicely loomed and finalized.
A plan for the car to come to life again before year’s end was set. Not one to fall short, not only did it come back to life, it moved on its own. Sounds really good w/ straight headers. Pushed like this are good as you find all the little things needed to complete the project/ system.
Car is back over at paint jail to take care of a few things and is expected to return early February. Some minor electrical items will be addressed along with installation of dash and finalizing the mechanical components. Glass and Exhaust will follow. I don’t see why this car should not be road worthy by spring time.
