I think we are cut from the same tree. I don't know too many other people that go through he trouble of staging all their junk for a photo as if it were to sell a product or find its way into a magazine. You even took the time to pull the software up on the laptap and butterfly out the manuals to make it all look pretty. You document like a pro - keep it up, but try to get some actual work done too.

Maybe just alcoholic. That's functional enough to do other things as well..
I was actually laying most of it out like that to organize things, and happened to have the laptop booting up, so though "eh, why not make a nice little pic here."
Installing boost control and rough wiring tonight. Gotta make a ECU mounting plate, as well as clean up my gauge sensor wiring and figure my user-programmable Dominator I/O's. Going to tidy things up under the dash with those metripack connectors, as well as run VSS, fuel press, oil press, and maybe oil temp into the ECU so I can do neat computer calculation doohickies. This Holley program is quite impressive, so much versatility....

Rifled thru the old "body harness" and gauge sensor wiring tonight.. what the hell was I thinking when I wired that **** 3 years ago. Funny how much work ethic & mental process paradigm can change in that amount of time. With the metripack connectors I'll be making a "ECU harness power connector" and "auxiliary I/O connectors" which will lead to a gauge-only sub harness for gauge sensors into ECU main harness, then a secondary plug for output from harness to gauges. Some wires will be a direct patchover from gauge sensor input to gauge output (coolant temp, boost, oil temp, fuel level), and some will input into the ECU for calculations, then be re-outputed to gauges (oil pressure, fuel pressure, speedo, wideband). This should create a clean point A-to-C [sensor to ECU), B-to-C (body power to ECU) and C-to-D (ECU to gauge panel) set of wiring. Damn age-old adage of "do it right the first time" is holding true.. if only I were this forward-thinking a couple years ago.
Sorry Mark, burnouts in front of your house will be delayed a bit longer, but at least that gives the snow time to melt..
