Is that the Hughes kit ? I’d like to know if the solenoids have any clearance issues.

I had a feeling that was going to be the case. At least it’s in there. ATF speed recently came out with a combo solenoid/relief combo block that mounts on the side of the tail. It’s only for the cooler port not the internal valve body tap. There’s just no room under there. I had enough trouble making the stand alone regulator and hoses fit.

How did you sort out the rear wing which looks great btw.
I know there are a couple different people who make the wing but if you have a stock SS spoiler on the hatch lid they won't work.
Did you buy another hatch or were you able to find just a Z/28 or base model spoiler?
