Watching with interest since I'm about to wire up, too. I'd be interested in hearing about the tools you use, where you source the little bits, etc. |

I'll post some pics later on comparing a few. |

I use the Tool Aid krimper https://www.amazon.com/Tool-Aid-18930-Ratch...k/dp/B000K1CFXO I have probably gone through 400 pieces in the last few years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Hey, where did the pic of the harness go? The harness didn't up in smoke did it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Got to run some bigger wire for the front power module, gave me a chance to use my $40 special crimper from Amazon. That is a #2 wire.

Damn Mike what are you running 15 speaker 4 amp Bose stereo. 60amps seems like a lot. Looks damn good though. We fired up car got it running but the engine had a blown head gasket. Pulled it all apart and rebuilding thats life.

I have another 70amps that I am going to daisy chain off the end of that line. I already had this cable and I'm tired of spending money on the car so I figured I'd use it. I also have about 30 feet of 4/0 that is sitting in one of my storage units on the side of the house...that would have been overkill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Removed the rest of the seam sealer in the rear trunk.
Threw a 3.5 emblem on the back... Cleaned injectors back to me. |

Trimmed more sheetmetal, got rid of the sharp edges.
More wiring harness work, on table is stock engine harness. After dissecting the harness I have each component separated. Decided to do some PM and replace some gaskets, glad I took it apart. The water crossover tube from the water pump (front of motor) to the water manifold (rear of motor) has some rust so it'll be replaced. Luckily I can get a factory replacement for $20. |

Infinitybox PDU's almost all done. Need to clean up the wiring. Tomorrow will be getting the engine harness back together.

Wiring is always a hurdle. Getting close.

Nice work, Mike! I'm right there with you on the wiring "fun". That said, it really is satisfying when it works as expected, isn't it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
Are you targeting any sort of time frame to have the car running/driving? |
