You had to come up with a cooler idea than me with the seals it gasket didn't you? haha In all seriousness though that is a pretty slick deal wish I would have seen it. I just went with the stock convoluted tubing on my harness I think it looks decent.
what wiring had to go thru the firewall-the computer? thats where i wanted to put mine-still on the fence with injection or carb, but im still collecting f/i parts just in case (69 chevelle) finished fitting up my roll bar today, gonna weld it up tomorrow, then get the body ready to paint-i am gonna check out that 2 piece gromet from summit, maybe install it before firewall paint, that way i will be more setup for f/i-one day im gonna re read this whole thread
thanks

I missed April 05' what was originally to be SBC Resto/Mod.. then Sept 05 was about done and was sitting around the garage with a some buddies and a few too many six packs.. got to talking about doing a LS1 swap.. and well you know the rest.. next week I was picking up a pullout !.. New date again !
I then missed my April 06' date (again).. then I missed my Aug 06 for Hot August Nights.. but I finally made it by X-mas 06'....!

Well I was busy this weekend, but got a little sheet metal back on. Mainly doing test fitting and getting ready to mount the radiator. I wanted to check clearance on the inner fender to the brake lines and I want to route the rest of my electrical (headlights, fan...) through the fender, so I needed to see what I have to work with.
Brake lines and clutch finished.
Body work will start after it's running and drivable.
Inner fender is barely touching. I'll move things a little to leave a gap.
Clutch reservoir.

So once again life has taken over and left little time to play cars. I finally got back out to the garage to try and get some things finished.
I mounted the fuse panel for my AAW wiring harness. I didn't want to bolt through the firewall since I shaved it, so I welded a couple bolts to the inside to mount the fuse panel on.
No more glass tube fuses.
Last night I got the in-tank plumbing finished for the fuel system. I added a 255lph Walbro, -8AN Supply/-6AN Return bulkheads and changed the return tube from 5/16" to 3/8". The Impala tank was originally 3/8" supply 5/16" return. The way I set things up I should be able to add an additional pump if needed down the road.
So at this rate I might finally get it running in 2008.

Glad to see the Updates. Nice trick on mounting the fuse panel. I don't see any relays on the actual fuse panel though I think I see one lead for one hanging off the harness but where are the rest of them?
This is the fuse panel for the car wiring. I am rewiring the entire car. I still have to deal with the relays and fuses for the engine harness.
