The story so far...
Carburetors:
After installing the fuel cell and finishing the lines to the fuel cell. What we had to do was replace the 12 mm x 1.25 Banjo bolt/fitting. For that, we went back to Jegs. Which they had a replacement from Vibrant performance. Only issue was the thread size for the bolt was 1.5 not 1.25. Which isn't an issue considering I already have two good stock bolts and I only need the banjo fittings themselves. After waiting for around a month, I contacted Jegs who then contacted Vibrant performance. The representative from Vibrant said that the part wouldn't be shipped until August 12. So, while waiting for those, we went with plan B. Went to Summit racing who also had a Banjo fitting kit. This time with the correct Bolt size and thread length. Yet, it went to a -06 AN line not -04. For the sake of continuing this project, we ordered those and got them the next day and installed them.
Wiring:
It was a mess. Reminded me of spaghetti. Luckily, my father found the original wiring diagram online. So with that, we was able to strip out/replace the bad and clean up the wiring to the car. Considering that we installed an MSD. We decided it to be best to have two fuse blocks to handle it all. The battery was also relocated to the trunk. The dashboard was taken out and cleaned up. As well as replacing the old burnt out lights. We also obtained a three way cluster (Oil, voltage, temperature) as well as an old school Sun tachometer. Plus we had to disassemble the steering column to clean up the clock spring assembly. The indicator lights on the front of the car have been removed for cleaning and repair.
Everything Else:
Next steps are to tie things up and fine tune the engine to get it to run smoother including another oil change and flushing out the radiator. Then on to making sure the brakes and drive train still operate properly.
One step at a time.
