Checked the grounds, they were bolted down, so I did the wiggle test to various wires and was able to get the tach,temp and fuel gauge to work. Also, the scanner would not communicate. Here is the culprit wire.
It was plugged in, so I unplugged it and plugged it back together, pushing it firmly together. Gauges now work and the scanner communicates.

Glad to see the car all together with the new trans and all!
Here is what the trans looked like when I shipped it to FLT!

She is coming home.
Returning from getting the alignment front and rear done.
Next will be the 2.5 hr. haul to get the tune done, then we will be ready to hit the strip.

Getting the loose ends finished up. Removing lights on the dash that come on after ABS and Airbag delete was completed.
I had to drop the steering colum down to get the cluster out.

Getting ready to ship the car to the dyno. When I put the car on the roll back I didn't have any tiedown anchors on the rearend, so , I came up with this idea that bolted on to the LCA bracket. They can be left on or removed.
The 28th is the big day. The car will be getting tuned and ready for the long awaited fun.

There is still clearance but just not enough for my comfort.

4/28/2011, the morning starts at 3:45am to load and head to the dyno 3hrs away. Car gets loaded and Don gets to try out my new rear tiedown brackets
We have arrived:
We get unloaded and leave and let Tom do his work.
Came back several hours later and get loaded for the long haul home.
Now, turn it up, the old girl has a heart beat.
