Haha, looks similar to the wiring nightmare I had going on for awhile with kiazord! I got a Stratified PnP ms2 from Lex instead of alll that hassle. Good luck with it!

LUCKY!!

I would do some pretty horrible things for a plug and play setup for my car.

Unfortunately......NOTHING on this car is that easy......haha

Having to build and design everything from scratch by hand; albeit the idea is romantic, it definitely gets old quick.

My next project will DEFINITELY be some sort of more modern mainstream vehicle, that I can just buy bolt ons and go.

That'll be the day..

Decided on the placement for my relay board, under the driver's side inspection panel. Where my windshield washer reservoir used to be.

Slowly plugging away at it. Enjoying myself.

Sure is!

Injector harness is about 95% done....Stupid time consuming, but I'll finish it up today.

I intend on running the harness on the underside of my fuel rail, so you won't see it.

This is coming along very nice. Good work so far sir :thumbsup:

Whenever you're ready, come visit us and rewire all of our standalone units on the pulling trucks :rofl: Nothing like a 3" bundle of wires coming out of a box and going FUCKING everywhere.

Thanks, I'm starting to get excited.

I worked for a couple hours this morning. And I'm about to head out now to work some more, but I'm like 75% DONE will all the wiring.

Here's the first rough mock up of the placement of the board, and the route my new FI harness will take. It will be hidden under the lip of the fender, just inside the engine compartment.

Here are a couple pictures....It's finally starting to look organized.

I just read 17 pages of pure manliness! This is great. I need to take more pics of my work and make a thread like this.

up the great work. I hope younger generation will get some skills to keep older cars alive!
