what does everyone think of the fuse mounts ?

Using the wire brush to do a little design so it wouldnt look so plain was just killer, I think it is great but thats just my opinion.

On the YUKON???? Give me a break, YOU got that truck wrapped tight!!!! You can come down and give a hand on this Grasshopper build, didn't you have an import of some sort??

[sefugi 166]

Grasshopper has been held with his job making that money to continue with his build so I'll bring you up to speed with what has been happening.

This is the Hal-effect Sensor for the new Speedo we will be installing. We have soldered in a harness to run from the trans to the firewall were it will be tied in as we get the wiring setup.

By grasshoper at 2010-10-27

Here is the starter ready to be installed with the feed and signal wire setup.

We have split open the wiring harness and have started the process of eliminating the wiring not needed in our situation of this build. Will get some pictures up of the wiring in the next few days as we get closer to having the electrical hooked up. Stay tuned.

Wow, you guys are right along on this build.

I can't believe how good the engine bay cleaned up for over 200,000 miles.

The engine bay looks killer!

Should be one hell of a nice ride when you guys get done.

The four bucket seat looks way better then the bench.

I can't wait to see what you have planned for the sound system.

Keep up the great work!!

I'm definitely

Thanks!!!! Need some sauce to go with this spaghetti of wiring...

[sefugi 166]

Now for some info on the wiring. Since this motor will be old school HEI and Carb all the computerized wiring needs to be removed and quite a few circuits will have to be rewired. From the factory the fuel pump, A/C, and the starter relay were controled by the computer, now they will operate by the key in the way of some added relays. First line of bussiness is to trim out the wires not needed and get a layout of what and were we need to make adjustments. Here are a few pics to give you an idea what we are up against.

An idea what was removed from the original harness

By grasshoper at 2010-11-01

By grasshoper at 2010-11-01

A portion of the schematics needed to trace all the circuits.

By grasshoper at 2010-11-01

Will be working to get the harness setup for the new motor and the few extra cicuits we will be adding.

Thanks!!!! Need some sauce to go with this spaghetti of wiring...

A good chunky tomato basil would be the choice.
