Now the left side. First I modified the horizontal duct so it will insert into the exchanger outlet.

Ducts from the blower housing to the exchanger, and the vertical tube up through the sheet metal.

Horizontal duct forced into place. Now I just need the left side control box.

Yesterday, the postman delivered another NOS heat control box.

So that's where I put it. Upside down?

I need a few more little parts to finish the heat system, so I played with some more stuff that got delivered recently.

Since I need to replace the PCV valve with an open fitting, I tried to find something that fits the holes (outer and inner) in the stock oil breather. It took about 4 tries, but I finally got a fitting (1.2 inch barb and 14x1.5 threads) in aluminum from Racetronix, and a 14x1.5 brass nut from Belmetric.

It fits just right, with a dab of aviation sealant.

Breather re-installed and the vent hoses all connected for real. We will see if this vent scheme works once the car is on the road.

With a bit more time to play, I got down the rear valance. It still looks a bit lumpy but I figure it will not be too visible, and I would rather have the durability of powder coating--which means no filler (and means my limited metal forming skills can't be hidden).

If you recall from 2 years ago, I had to weld in a patch to repair a very home-made PO hole on the right side for his custom dual exhaust. This view is the inside--the outside is not perfect but better.

To install the valence I removed the bumper. No big deal, except...

On both license plate lights, the ground wire terminals were broken. Time to re-do these before the bumper can go back on.

I did get the valence mounted, with a little bit of persuasion since the curve of the restored rear panel does not quite match the valence.

Clearance to the tail pipe is a bit less than 1/4 inch. I want to see if I can enlarge this.

I replaced the ground wire terminals, and stripped back some of the heat-shrink tubing I installed last year so the wires can bend more easily. And then a quick check of the lights--they work!

I finally got my replacement for the throttle position sensor, from Summit Racing. This is a Ford sensor with a Delphi (GM) plug connector--apparently a relatively common custom EFI part. But the lead positions are not the same as what I had, so I switched them.
