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.

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!
