This is what I do. Plastic bags and WD work great. I made some toe plates with some scrap 1x6s. I also cut a piece of hardwood that lands on the edge of the wheel so I have a nice repeatable place to put the level. I also marked the ground with tape showing 20 degrees both ways since the...

OK, how would you describe it? Not curved, straight, linear, in line, etc. I'm pretty sure he got the point.

Well, you can't go wrong with black on black. Ask me how I know....

My assumption is the Longacre bubble gauge is calibrated in such a way that the multiplication factor isn't needed. If you look at it closely, the glass of the level has an arc, it isn't flat like a normal level.

Wheel diameter may be a little too big for my taste, but man that thing is sitting right! Any idea what color it will be? It would look sick all white with a red interior.

I mounted my quadsparks under the dash. As for how to arrange them, I used my the same methodology as I did for the power. Each bank has its own power, and now each bank has its own quadspark. That way if something fails, I can quickly identify it since only have the engine is running.

One more piece of the puzzle knocked out. Whipped up a catch can bracket last night. I wanted to hide this somewhere badly, but it also needs to be serviceable so here it is. The bracket is made from a piece of 2" flat bar whittled into something that doesn't look like flat bar.

I assume the other side of the capacitor is grounded. I believe the factory harness had something like this. I trashed them. It's probably less about the coils seeing noise and more about the coils creating noise. The only electronic device on my car is the ECU and I've never had any weird...

There you go. Sooner or later we're going to be experts on this platform.

Does that engine have a harness? My coils have 3 pins on them, but only two wires going to them. I don't know what the extra pin is for. Since I cut down a factory harness, I really never paid any attention to it until now. Rock auto shows the same part number for coils between non-vvt and vvt...

The coils only need a power wire and the signal wire. It's like having 8 old school canister coils. You may want to confirm their harness isn't made to be used with their smart coils.

22 pins won't be enough for the engine. Mine is a 47 pin and I'm using 42 of them. Now, I am overkill on the power for the coils and injectors. I ran an individual power wire for right bank injectors, right bank coils, left bank injectors, left bank coils. You could just use one power feed for...

Nice! I didn't know Ballenger had those. I've purchased from them in the past. They have a nice selection of things that would otherwise be hard to find. I think I was able to find the crank and cam pinouts online by searching. If you don't already have them, you will need ignitors for your...

If you are using a megasquirt, all you need factory connectors for are the cam/crank sensors, and the coils. Everything else is fairly universal/GM style. I cut up a factory harness and made my own reusing whatever I could, but ran new circuits for TPS, IAC, IAT, MAP, and Coolant. I used an...

Now to get the AC back up and running. It's HOT! I think I have my hose routing figured out, so I just need to order some fittings and hose to get it done. I'm planning on going to autocross on 6/23, so that gives me a week and half to get that done and also make my catch can bracket so I can...

Ok throttle cable is fixed and I get 100% throttle. It also moves easier. Maybe it was in a slight bind before. More driving and tuning and all I have to say is this MFer scoots!!!! I found the rev limiter as expected. The cam really turns on around 3500 and doesn’t stop before my limiter. As...

Could always throw a gear vendors on the 727 later if you change your mind about OD. Those things are kinda spendy though.

I had to force myself to come home with it after I realized I was out for a while and should likely go home and check stuff over. No oil or coolant drips! I may be more happy about no oil drips than the new exhaust note! Hahaha. The good news is, the winter rarely shuts me down from driving...

Got the exhaust installed and messed with the cranking and idle fueling. It seems pretty decent, but will definitely need more tweaking. It’s so hot this time of year the water temperature never gets below 75 degrees even after sitting a day. I decided to try the auto tune function in tuner...

Those aren't Gates ends on the heater hoses. It's just an AN to hose barb adapter. The Gates clamp is pretty much plastic heat shrink. Just slide it on and heat it with a heat gun. All of the fuel line and AN fittings are Evil Energy brand found on Amazon. It may be hard to see, but I have some...

Its insane how dirty they get after driving in the rain. I still have dirt on the bottom of mine from Moparty 3 years ago when I had to drive through mud to load up to leave in the rain.

Intake tube painted to match, and HEMI badging on the coil covers painted body color. This thing looks awesome in there. I don't think I could be any happier than the way it looks. A friend came to check it out and he said it looks like the car came with it. Mission accomplished! Side note...

With the exception of the catch can and some AC lines (which won't be visible), the engine compartment is pretty much done. I painted the HEMI badging on the coil covers with the same paint that's on the exterior of the car. I was having trouble deciding which color to go with, but a good friend...

Could always just throw a 2.76 gear in it and roll! Honestly, that's likely what I would do if I were to put that many miles on the car even with the OD. 75mph at 1800RPM, yes please.

Man, the Power Tour has always been a bucket list item for me. It passed through the city I live in about 10 years ago but my car was in pieces. I always have hope that it will head back south again. For the last several years, the drive to get to it would be longer than the actual tour. I have...

Here's the new throttle body adapter I made that is raised over the last one. I lined up the bottom of the hole and rounded the top. The picture makes the bottom look like it isn't aligned but it is. These gates shrink clamps are badass! So much better looking than a screw clamp. Got the IAT...

My gates hose clamps came in Saturday so I was able to get the heater hoses and power steering suction line completed and get fluids topped off. I ran the car on and off for about an hour until my wife had enough of the open headers. Apparently it was rattling the walls in the house. Hmmm, I...

I have them wrapped with techflex wire loom to protect them. No issues yet!

@Dantra I wiped the white printing off the gates shrink clamps with lacquer thinner. It came off with zero effort.

The headlight, horn, and fan wiring is all in the driver side fender well. I attached some P clamps with nuts to the bottoms of the fender bolts to hold the wiring up. AC and heater hoses are in the passenger side fender well held in the same manner.
