Todd, just noticed the new signature w/complimentary car surname.

How did this evolve?

I stole it from Bill Ruttger. He claimed it for his car but I knew he would never actually use it in print so I did. It was too good not to use.

Worked for a few hours tonight. Ran the battery cable to the fuse box and connected the fuse box and alternator. Also ran power to a distribution block.

Also ran the power cable to the starter, Installed the LC1 and hooked up the reverse lights. At this point I think i am finished underneath the car.

Going to work on it some more this weekend.

Standard Chevrolet small block, it's been like that since 1955.

Progress?

Numbering all the wiring so I do not have to think when I solder it all.

Doing the coils and injectors tomorrow and possibly the main harness. Hoping to lay it out in the car mid week when it warms up.

How did your wood burning stove install in the garage go?

Didn't happen. Using a torpedo propane heater.

But effective... I had a non insulated two car garage that would end up 30 degrees warmer after about an hour or so... Not bad.

I have most of the main connector sorted out. Will work on the inj and coil harness early this week.

This isn't an easy job for a mildly color blind and far sighted guy.

T_C_D · Post by **T_C_D** » Jan 28, 2013 5:21 PM

It's time to go out to the garage and get to it.

Looking good Todd! I can't wait to see this beast running at the vintage!

Spent about 7hrs yesterday working on the car. Labeled every sensor in the engine bay and did some other wiring. I know the picture looks the same but there is progress!

The devil is in the details and the little details always seem to take the longest to complete.

Sure.

MS3 has highly capable testing software so I will be doing the following before the "first start":

Test all sensor inputs by turning the engine over and datalogging with fuel off.

Testing each coil and injector individually.

I should be able to adjust fuel pressure prior to running the car by looking at the fuel pressure sensor transducer prior to start as well.

You're using an adjustable regulator instead of a plain traditional one?
