Hey I finally put in some decent lights in the garage!!!
Completed:
Brakes done
Fuel system done
Seats mounted
Shifter mounted
Old wiring removed
Stock light harnesses installed
Final:
Ordered different brake master cylinder, Jegs makes a Manual brake kit. Should have it by Friday.
I temporarily mounted catch can, so many old holes in the firewall I didn't have to drill one. I think I need to mount it higher.
Brandon Doller is building computer board for me
Car needs brakes lines
Car needs a small amount of fab work to mount different radiator and mount wastegates
Car will then need vacuum lines.
Car needs trans cooler mounted
I need to order some custom Firecore plug wires
I put the car back on the ground, next stop is Manna Motorsports
Nice lights, Sams club? 6500 lumen LED strip? Good choice going LED they dont have issue with the cold and run low cost. Low cost clean = win win
As for the list you sir are getting close! Are you running braided hose for the catch can and vacuum lines with Fragola? For this car I think I would, or at least be sure to use fuel injection style clamps at each port with vac rated hose. Brake lines we just did that 68 with summit pre bent stainless kit and they fit great, i recommend. Sounds like its running before the snow flies! Awesome
i was trying to look back and see what you did for a Converter but could not find anything (lost it after 5 mins of turning pages and tought it be easier to just ask lol!!!)
4200 lumens I think?
I have -10 fittings and hose for catch can.
Someone sells pre bent brake lines for first gens? Dammit I just bought a Motion general kit.
Midwest Converter from buddy, 50/50 chance that it works good lol.
Have you read about the fire core wire issues? Magnacore are supposed to be the ticket from what I’ve read. Lots of RF issues with fire cores. Lots of thread on YB about them.
I like the delphi red ign wires myself. OEM Escalade wires fom 07+ VERY good quality 100% silicone angled boots no tear apart when off/on many times like others do. Not sure of fitment with your boost set up though so..... yeah. As for brake lines they list quite a few variations depending on set up and they are kinda pricey but routed well and fit clean. Maybe worth looking into, heres a link for 67;
LOL I had 2 light bulbs for a long time, so 4 light strips is amazing.
Since I'm getting some attention here, let me ask, is it still universally suggested I mount battery on the passenger side? My car it's on the driver's side right now, but I got a aluminum box and new battery coming.
Not sure if you'd have an issue with this but when I swapped from power to manual brakes I had to drill a different mounting hole in the brake pedal to get more leverage on the master cylinder, turns out this is pretty normal.
Didn't realize I had a problem until I made a pass at the strip, thank god SIR has a lonnnnnnng shut down area lol.
Just food for thought.
I saw pics on FB of some Firecore wires that looked messed up, cooked? Do you have a link?
More to do with RF noise in general. I don't have the link but Zbrown had issues with his Holley and fire cores on un-resisted plugs. Magnacore has a lot of technical info on their site that explains it all. They are the "go to" wire for the big boys I'm aware of. I use auto zone OEM replacements.
