Details on that alternator wiring. Did you keep the Ford alt or go with the LS one? Looking for details on battery, starter, alt, etc.

It has been fun so far. I think i can just bypass the NSS by using a fuse to jump it across. Ill give it a try this weekend

I figured out the nss/trigger wire problem. I got the starter to work today. Hopefully I'll crank the car up tonight

Looks awesome. Are those headers coated or painted? I can't see spending 600+ for painted headers.

Here is my fuse panel I mounted it where the factory computer use to be. I have plenty of room for the ECU under the dash

To power up my harness/Relays I tapped into this wire off the ignition switch

I kept trying to get the red/blue trigger wire to work.. I tapped into the white/pink and ran that to the small terminal on the starter. No more need to worry about the NSS.

I tapped into the Green wire and ran that to my harness fuse box fuel pump relay

Damn the carpet is nasty

Pulled the carpet and found .80 woohoo

Installed the dash. Im waiting on my Florida50 gauge cluster to come in

A bottle of simple green and a pressure washed did wonders... I removed the jute since it was stained and smelled like crap. It is pretty heavy so Im happy with another weight reduction.

It's crazy how dirty the carpet gets. Mine looked like I was rinsing coffee out of it for 20 minutes.

Did you order the complete cluster or the bare one? I have all the gauges already just need to get a panel.

Looking good man!

Quick question. The shifter mount plate, does it touch the tail housing of the trans?

I ordered the complete cluster and speedo sensor. It was 800 shipped. No use in using a camaro cluster for a water temp and tac.
