Almost forgot. The MSD 6AL box is wired into the harness along with the tach adapter. All I need is a couple of ends installed.

What year 3.0L is it? I didn't need a tach adapter for my MSD6AL on a 3.0L! My motor is an '83sc with a '79 tach! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I didn't think the 4 cylinder tach will work even with the adaptor...maybe I am wrong? |

The engine is from a 78. The tach is from an unknown 911. If I need to I could always cut that tach adapter out. I needed a tach adapter for my 4 cylinder 75 with MSD6 box.
Rob the dash was easy to install. I used the two bolt holes on the top center. Then large (maybe 1/8") sheet metal screws on each side into the cage |

I have some more time to post pictures correctly. The car was painted last month a matte metalic silver. This paint is a polyurethane and looks awsome in the sun. In the garage it looks a little dull. Basically it looks like glass beaded aluminum! The paint is from TCP Global in San Diego. Hot Rod Flats is the color line. Did you paint it yourself? |

Got my oil lines and fuel system done! Mazda RX-7 cooler and Holley red fuel pump. Stainless fuel lines courtesy of Tangerine Racing. I have both installed even though I only am using one now.

I ran the lines in the long and wrapped them with a heat insulating material. A little bit of work with a hole saw and grinder.

The left engine compartment view. Yes the line is run over the stock 6 engine mount, then fastened to the brake dampner. GT style engine mount bracing encouraged by Mr. Eric Shea.

I came up with a creative solution for an oil tank drain plug. I ordered the factory oil lines from the the tank to the cooler. It came with a union. I had a face machined then drilled and tapped it for a drain plug. I drilled the plug so I could safety wire it. This is one of many parts my pal Dean machined for me.

Sir Andy style axles. I needed loger CV bolts than the 45mm units that came with the 944 cvs. These are 55mm and need to be trimmed so they didn't interfere with the trailing arm. Not an issue on the trans flange side. I couldn't find appropriate 50mm bolts. Also note Sir Andy inspired picture quality. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
