Nice work on the harness Frank.
Are you using split loom? Mind sharing what kind and where you got it?
I know McMaster sells different kinds, I am just seeing what kind you prefer.

Yesterday I decided to check the axle engagement in the rear end, for some reason I thought the right side axle was only engaged about 1/2"..... I was wrong it is engaged about 1.25" so no problems there..... I guess I must have bee thinking about the old rear that was in the car..... I need to change the pass side rotor and pads due to it being grooved up, that black coating Wilwood uses can be a pain when breaking the pads in..... I get a rotor on it's was and put the pass side back together next weekend.....
Today I started back on the wiring, I found out I had the wrong input wire for the transbrake rev limiter..... I got that swapped around, I also found out I need to have the limiter activation on the button side of the relay and not the brake solenoid side..... So I pulled the cluster and pulled the pins on the relay(I need a couple more pins for the relay so I can put it back together..... Then I got the wiring all routed and hooked up through the CTS and Methanol sensor, I will continue working my way forward next weekend.....
Here's where the rear end stands.....
and here's what the wiring is looking like so far.....

This weekend I got the rear brake all back together and wheels back on..... I also got the changes necessary under dash made and put everything back together there..... I routed the alt wire and hooked it up, made a block to chassis ground and installed it..... I finish routing the power feed for the front relays and fan controller, I also mounted all components and started hooking up wires.....

Got all the wiring done and tested, with the only exception being I need to put the connectors on the fan and electric water pump before I install the radiator..... There is a good chance this thing run next weekend, or at least an attempt will be made to make it run.....
This weekends progress.....

So far today I got the radiator all ready to go and in, filled it with distilled water/water wetter...... Mounted the breather tanks and made the lines for them..... Put the charge tube back on and made the line for the blow off valve..... Removed the alternator, pressure fed the oil system, then reinstalled the alt and adjusted it..... I also put 5 quarts of trans fluid in it.....
After I got done with all that, I made a run over to the gas station and picked up 15 gallons of non-etheanol to fire it up on..... I will be going back this evening to put some gas in it, load the tune I have for it and see if it will run?????
