I got a new computer and as far as I'm concerned Windows 10 blows.....
I have made some progress..... The under dash is all done(I hope), everything I can test has been tested..... Yester day I wired the instrument cluster and installed/tested it..... I am going to get started on the firewall forward wiring today.....
Here are some pic's of the interior, everything is back together except the seats are not bolted down and no seat belts bolted in yet(just waiting on these till it runs just incase I need to get back under the dash.....
I was asked what wiring tools I use, these are the ones for the most part..... I do have access to a couple GM crimpers if I need them.....
Today I got some of the under hood stuff figured out, from which I now have a nice little shopping list..... Then I started getting the firewall plug pinned for most of the engine stuff.....
I probably missed it somewhere, but what are you using as the ECU bulkhead?

If your talking about the connector in the firewall, it's a Molex 66 pin connector(60 18 amp and 6 40 amp)..... Leash electronics was selling them as a kit with the pins but have quit selling them..... There are actually 3 different configurations for it, you can find them on the net but usually have to buy all the components separately.....
I do happen to have an extra one I would probably part with.....
This is easily one of my "Personal Top 10 Builds" on this site. Everything looks so cleanly done... On the one hand, it gives me something to aspire to - but on the other hand, it makes me a HELL OF A LOT less satisfied with what I'm able to do!
Thanks for sharing this Frank, I'm enjoying being able to watch it come together.

Got the under intake wiring made, which includes most of the sensors..... Was also able to put the o-rings in the intake and bolt it down for the first time.....I have to put one more fitting in the intake elbow before I put it back on.....
This keeps getting better. Great work Frank. What are your plans for wramping the wires at the bulkhead? Some sort of shrink boot? 90*?
Thanks!!!!! The wires have powerbraid with heatshrink on the end now, there is only about 1.5" of wire not covered currently..... I don't want to bind them too tight against the connector.....
Well, it's been a couple weeks since I updated..... I got some kind of flu or something, I tried to go down and work on it anyways..... With an unclear head I realized that I cut a couple wires wrong, so I just quit before I F'd up anything else..... This week I felt a little better but not great, I went down and removed then disassemble the harness so I could replace a couple wires from the connector..... I got it repaired/replaced and I went ahead and pinned the rest of the front light/accessary harness in the firewall connector..... I also changed the two 8 pin connectors at the under intake harness out to a single 16 pin(they finally got here)..... I did get most of the engine harness layed out.....
New rule, don't try to work on complicated wiring when under the weather and not thinking clearly.....
Here's a couple of what it is currently looking like.....
