I ordered the computer along with the their coils and a screen. Ouch.

I'm running my motor set back an inch, T400 and 9". I need to get a DS for the current rearend, though I'm already planning (scope creep) to buy better rearend parts later this year.

I can empathize with your “scope creep”.

My understanding is I am supposed to use OEM sensors for
  • crank
  • cam
  • head coolant temp
  • IAC
  • TPS
Still learning lol. Got a buddy who has a bunch of them so I'll update as we go.

I've went the Dominator route on my project, it's amazing how all those boxes stack up. It's like I have a freak'n mountain of EFI boxes. Looks like we'll both have turbo LS first gens with Holley systems.

Hoping to make LSFest in September, if I do, I'll be naturally aspirated.... I've plumbed my brakes, half of my fuel system is ran, I'm rewiring the car from scratch, I've got the Holley stuff sitting on the counter, and I'm throwing together a junk 4.8 with a 4L80E. Going to leave it in primer and no interior just to get her going. I'll probably do the turbo kit this winter once I get the bugs worked out.

zboss if I can bring mine to LS Fest, it will be a 10 footer for sure.

Okay so I might as well do an update:
  • Sensors getting most of them from brotha Cam. Thanks sir.
  • Just ordered headlight and taillight harnesses (nice used) from Ralph @ Chicago Motor Car Parts. My front harness ls cut off, and the rear looks sketchy and broken.
  • I am going to order another radiator (great idea Mario!), I will take some measurements and get one like the one you suggested.
  • Classic Dash makes a Holley Dash custom version, will order this:
  • I am going to paint the other valve covers when they show up, then mount the smart coils on the ICT brackets.
  • Once I have sensors I will will install as much of the Holley harness as possible.

My goal is to get the wiring at least 70% done in next 7 days.

Jon M sold me these valve covers with -10's welded. I painted them after they arrived. Threw the ICT Billet smart coil brackets on:

Car's wiring is pretty lame. I decided to pull the Autometer gauge setup out, since I'm going with the Holley dash. I pulled a bunch out, but left some in because it might help me or whomever wires the car understand how stuff was routed.

If I can install one thing a day I'll be finished at some point right?

Last night I re-installed the ICT coil brackets correctly, the spacers go under the coils. I could not install the coils because they did not come with my order (back ordered I'm guessing).

I also finally installed the ICT truck alternator (LS3 water pump), what a nice little setup. Alternator is 4 pin high output GM version. I did not install the overdrive pulley on the alternator because I'm not sure how to take the stock one off lol.

Hit the nut that holds the pulley on with an impact gun and it will come right off

Ah okay thanks. Sounds like I should set up my air compressor.
