Original placement of the flex fuel sensor made it hit the alt. I made bracket 2.0 and now it fits. Still have to figure out hose route from the FPR.

Starter, starter power, and reverse switch installed. I have a Speed Factory shifter spring but I couldn’t budge the bolt, so that’s on the back burner.

IM and TB mocked up. Previous owner painted the IM and it looked like dookie. I was trying to think of a fast and cheap way to strip it and brake fluid seemed like a great idea. I’ll hit it with a wire wheel to finish it up. For now I just have silver paint all over my hands

TPS is pretty close to the 90° from the fuel filter to the rail. I’ll have to move the filter down a smidge and probably cut all my zip ties to get a little slack under the car.

The 1/4” 90° will feed the FPR. The 1/8” 90° will be moving under the plenum where it’ll feed a push to connect bulkhead on the firewall for signal to the boost gauge. Every other port will get a plug except for a 1/4” NPT port on the back for the brake booster vacuum source. I want to use -8 AN hose for the brake booster but I have no idea if the booster can be disassembled to add a bulkhead fitting. Might hit the junkyard this week and yank one and try to crack it open. I’m off work until next Monday so I’m hoping to get a lot done.
Decided not to fuck around with porting the IM right now. I don’t want to create any more downtime for myself. I’ll have more time to fart around with shit when it’s time to put the turbo kit on and/or get the trans rebuilt over the winter. Still waiting on battery terminals, the new pump hanger, and some other little things. I bought all new screws for the mirrors since they are apart. Waiting for nicer weather to get some more painting done. Axles can go back in and I can start wiring the engine harness. Need to decide on injectors so I know what connectors I need. Also need new injector seals and o-rings. Still nothing from Cole Mulvey in regards to my Skunk2 manifold. I’m going to ask for a refund and for him to return my part. If that doesn’t happen I don’t know what else to do other than blast him on Facebook and maybe try to get the local cops involved. Never been stiffed like this before
