Just the workmanship and welds were like they ran out of gas half way through the job
the driveshaft loop looks like it was bent around a tree
4 link brackets looked free hand torched as well as the adjustment holes
4 link bars are just 1" tubing with like a 3/8" wall thickness tapped for heims
any chassis I build now is all round tubing
don't normally like to knock people's work but you get what you pay for
Someone earlier asked how many switches the Holley dash can have on the screen. The answer is as many as will fit. There are different, preprogrammed styles of switches in the dash. Also, each switch will eat up 1 input and 1 output in the ECU...
Digital “Push To Start” is going to be a go! Tick makes a box that prevents the Holley Dash from “Rebooting” while Cranking. It’s a plug and play piggyback deal

I don't understand why you need that module. My dash is wired in such a way that it does not turn off while cranking. No extra parts needed...
I just put an S&W pre-welded rear 2x3 kit in my car. Total piece of junk. Bad wrinkles on every bend and wasn't even square. Had to do a bunch of tweaking to make it even look decent but finally got it to work. Going full 25.2 chassis within a year or two so I didn't care.

can i get a link to this my dash restarts everytime i start my car and it drives me crazy
Once again, this is not needed. Wire your dash properly! LOL

I'm using two dashes in two different vehicles one works fine but the one in my S10 reboots every time I start the truck, I've tried every switched power source I had inside the truck and tried the under hood fuse box and they all do the same thing. It doesn't cut voltage completely it just drops it enough that it causes a reboot. I tried the biggest battery I could fit and it still does it. The one in my other truck has never done it. It's not an incorrect wiring problem of the dash it's an issue with some vehicles.

It's definitely a vehicle problem, not a dash problem. The easiest way to wire the dash is to give it a dedicated, fused power source from the battery. On my Cougar I installed a Delhi power distribution block under the hood. It gets fed directly from the battery. From there I have a 10 gage wire going under the dash and it powers the dash through a Bosch 75 amp relay that is triggered by the wire that used to go to the coil off the ignition switch.
On a modern vehicle this should be even easier to do. Just need to find or add a circuit that is powered directly from the battery.
Mine does it but it never bothered me. You just have to choose a switched source that does not lose power while cranking. A lot of factory switched accessory sources lose power while cranking.
Just a heads up, Got my dash module a few days ago and it instantly blew the 5amp fuse on the switched 12v, Tried a 10amp and it did the same thing, Quick call to Tick to discuss the issue and they sent me another out right away. Got it today and it works as intended. The tech person I talked to said they test all of them after they are built and this one must has slipped past. I will say they have great customer support.

thanks for the heads up i got mine last week and when i opened it up it smells like burnt electronics but i havent gotten a chance to try it yet hopefully next week ill be able to try it
Just about finished cutting up the bedsides to make them easily removable. You guys can kind of see what I plan on doing with them as they are basically bed “halves” at this point. I also plan on maybe getting rid of the tailgate and using a 16–18 one piece “tailgate/rollpan” skin. A company makes them for fleet side bed but I was able to talk them into doing a one off stepside version of it for me . If I go that route I will be using DZUS fasteners to attach it. I don’t have a bed floor anyway so I think this would be a great alternative .
Please post pics when you get the fuel system set up. I think I am gonna go with the belt drive pump as well. Are you going to run a surge tank up front?

Since the dash is powered up through the can bus, how can it be a wiring issue? Just asking, the car I am talking about is wired 100% per instructions.

It's not powered by the can bus. The 7" Dash has a 12v switched power wire.
