Mines broke and the only thing left is the nut insert and I can see what looks like clear plastic and was afraid that would bust or leak. Have you not had any issues?

Think I may go with this instead of drilling and tapping a block off plate for oil sender.

Not much to look at but I got the rest of the harness lengthened and installed on the car. Test fitted everything again now just gotta install the wire loom. Also got my computer back today so I need to mount it and hook everything up. Keeping my fingers crossed to fire it up by next weekend or at least have it really close.

Big Ed I worked on manifolds today. Thanks to my buddy Chuck and him upgrading his Cadillac I scored his factory manifolds.
Here's a video of Chucks caddy after his upgrades.

With those manifolds, you'll have plenty of room to run your steering! You should be able to run a u-joint at the rack and a shaft straight to your column without hitting the frame or exhaust.
I am still trying to get mine set up properly. I ended up getting a double u-joint and am going to have to use a support bearing.

Been knocking out small things to get it ready to fire off. Finished wiring my computer,fuse block, and relays. Also got me some gauges and rethreaded my corvette oil cooler plate to hook up the oil pressure gauge.
After getting everything hooked up I fired the beast up for the first time today.

Started on the fuel system today got the hard lines and fuel filter ran along the frame rails.
Then got the fuel pump cut, fitted, wired, and installed along with the sender unit cut, wired, and installed. Also got the flex lines installed that will tie into the hard lines on the frame.
