I didn't get much done yesterday. I had a corvette to install some headers + mid section and a vararam. Got most of it done, needed to order some o2 extension harness's.
We worked on the dash(racepak) for a hour and got it very close to the final panel. Took an hour for lunch and came back to work on the motor plate. I welded the -16 bungs on the motor plate only to find another problem. With the size of the -16 fittings we can't run the alternator up top, no way to get the belt around the fittings.
Ken came over with his Trans-camaro-bird and we did some tuning on the juice last night found out he was pig rich on the kick, he pegged my wideband 10.0:1 or richer.
Got back to the garage and I did some work on the alternator mount. I'm going to try and mount it under the fuel pump which should work. It puts the alternator right infront of the steering rack and .500" above the K-member. I made the adjuster/c bracket that fits around the alternator and a spacer so it sits flat on the adjuster. This weekend I'll work on mounting that piece onto the motor plate.

That garage is never that clean, I guess with a broom and the right camera angles you could fool everybody

Didn't get much done today, got the rest of the -16 fittings. Ended up finding them for 14 each and found enough -16 hose to do the system for $20 from a local suppler that had a 6 foot section left over. Got the Meziere water pump mounted up and the supply line started, its a 1 7/8" tube. Also picked up the correct size belt for the alternator.

Parts man parts still waiting on my engine parts. I will be putting my trans and rear back in probily next weekend maybe monday night if I feel up to it. My car is easy install motor just add spray all done. Not the crazy combo you got going on good but crazy love it man keep up the good work. Glad to see another guy doing his own work not just paying a shop to do it. Not only could I not afford to pay a shop to do it there is no sence of accomplishment at the end if you payed someone to do it.
Have fun man,
George
