The ECU will mount to a plate attached to the trunk wall, and the relay box will piggy-back on top of the ECU. There is enough room to attach serial cables to the right side of the ECU, and the big cable clears the jack.

I also mocked up the position of the O2 signal processor, and the tach signal adapter.

I plan a 1 inch hole for cables to pass into the engine compartment just to the right of the tach adapter.

With my remaining time today, I worked out the connections between all the components. I think I finally have it all sorted.

Thanks--I still like it today, but I will wait to make it permanent until after I get all the wiring done.

More details while I am waiting for parts to finish the engine-trans mating.

I got out the pieces for the shift rod, including new bushings and conical screws.

Coupling on the rear rod (and yes, the screw side will face down).

A couple of problems I did not notice with the front rod: I installed it "sideways", and did not notice that the powder coating got onto the machined end that inserts snugly into the coupling.

A bit of scraping and sanding, and the rod fits into the coupling.

I forgot to mention that to remove the front rod, I have to open access to the shift lever base and loosen the bolt. I guess I should leave it open until the engine and trans are in place.

Final shift linkage bit, at the trans input. New bushings for the shaft hole and the ball joint.

Finally, the input coupler--more re-plated bling that nobody will see.

I am trying to do all the things that are easier while the engine in still out. I got out all the trunk hinge parts and torsion bars.

Then I fought the torsion bars into place, and clamped down. These things as a b*tch even at the beginning.

At least I did remember to pass the bars through the hoop bracket. BTW, these are also powder-coated.

Then the hinges, with the lever piece. I used lock nuts on the lever studs.
