Default L76 Chevelle Swap

I am finishing up my protouring build and I will be putting together a build thread soon, but I need a little help! I am using a G8 GT L76 engine and 6L80E trans in a 67 Chevelle.

1. I have the stock G8 gas pedal and a replacement pigtail. The harness has been modified and has the pedal wires labeled but the wire connector pigtail has all white wires. Can someone confirm the connections? I have them listed as:
1. BRW/YE
2. White/Blk
3. D Blue/White
4. BRW
5. Purple
6. Light Blue

Even if this is correct, I have no idea which end to start at "1" from. A pic would be helpful.

2. I used the holley alternator/PS pump bracket, which is great, but I need to figure out the best high pressure hose to connect the pump to the steering box. I know someone has done something similar.

I am so close but so far away, thanks for the help guys!

I used the stock PS hose from the truck that I took the 6.0 out of. I am running à jeep grand Cherokee steering box. ( I highly recommend this)

Pin 1 starts on the side where the plug has the pull-out clip. You've got the colors and numbering correct.

Another bump for the pressure hose or fitting.

Did you have any trans tunnel or frame clearance issues?

There were major issues. I cut the entire Tunnel out all the way to the back seat and most of the firewall. I fabricated everything out of sheet metal and had to raise the trans tunnel about 3 inches wide and the trans hump several inches on each side. The firewall is recessed two and a half inches

Do you know exactly which G body car you use the hose from?

I was afraid you were going to tell me that. Guess I'll go with the 4l series. Thanks for responding!
