Im in Felton Ca but looking for a reliable mechanic who can finish up my project. Its so close but I have zero time. Any recommendations?

Question Considering I had a 904/slant six combination before with my column shifter. Are there any modifications i have to make in order to install the linkages now that I have a 727 and 360 small block with headers?

Zero updates but I just rolled the car out. We moved and as you can imagine that came with 1 million projects that expedited over the car. We bought a place in the woods so it’s a bit of a different lifestyle out here. So far I’ve killed 15 mice two rattle, snakes, two scorpions and several...

ChatGPT cleared it up - definitely odd use of wire color strategy. Separately, since im using a 2 wire HEI distributor and hi-output coil I'm basically swapping some terminal leads in a way that I can retain the original wiring if I have to revert back (probably wont). So net net, I basically...

Just going to follow the diagram as it shows, wasting too much time trying to figure it out. Got some new terminals for the bulkhead to swap out key wires that im routing so I dont have to hack the existing harness up. (Removing the ECU & ballast resistor for HEI is quite a lot of wiring) So...

Same thought. I didnt plan on using all the circuits, just a few for tbe headlights.

ALRRRRRIGHT.... im mentally stuck. Im having a problem getting over the fact that the disparity between my new wiring harness that i ordered and my wiring diagram are not sync'd fully. Specifically Terminal L (Dark Green, Red Tracer) and Terminal T (Dark Green, Red Tracer) So Terminal L on...

Seems like it has decent reviews but I see your point. Looks like it has copper in the relay portion. Could easily swap for a higher quality relay and have the tidy box to organize things with. For the price, I might give it a chance.

Anyone ever used something like this for headlights? I like that the relays are already preset up. Pretty cheap too. https://www.amazon.com/DaierTek-Pre-wired-Waterproof-Universal-Automotive/dp/B0CP56SXNT/?tag=fabo03-20

Temp sending unit in Starter relay wired up Breather cap on with new grommet Tossed on the carb for fuel line routing measurements Plug wires in To do? Well the rest is on my list attached here

Well, I kinda blew it by not dropping in the transmission cooling lines before I put the motor in. I'm now trying to figure that all out, but can't find a single image of how it's ideally routed. Any ideas? Progress: Got the speedometer gear housing in, waiting on some new battery cables, temp...

So previously I stated you can't use the straight boots but I made them work. Got the routes along the side of the valve covers and behind the heads for a clean look - still need to start putting together the wiring but it's another 2 hours clocked in getting closer.

Champion radiator is in. Feels like the steps are getting fewer but I'm fatigued and have little time to work on the car lately. Still needs: Fill holes in fender well Install the carb Install linkages/throttle Install the column shift stuff Re-prime the oil pump Install dizzy, coil, and spark...

Few small things are in. Battery tray and battery, new and old wiring harnesses, belt. New radiator with electric fan didnt fit. Ran into the pulley, so gotta return it.
