Some line cleanage. The routing before was straight WHACK..yo.



MUCH better. Much difficult. Much Frustration.

Utilized the stock mounting points, and just drilled the rubbers out to accept the 5/16" return. Despite what some of the angles might insinuate, nothing touches.

I still need to mount the prop valve, install some grommets in the brake line holes and that's about it. Lovely.

I have also changed the routing of the return, to exit out the transmission tunnel, like the feed. You'll understand later, however here's a real early idea of the exit.




Okay.. I'm beginning to tire of being under the car. Thankfully not too much more remains.


Had a wonderful sail this evening though. I'd have a video, however the GoPro took a swim....Whoops...RIP.

Cleaned up stuff a bit. Probably can't tell from the pictures though.

More of the same.

Extra classy.



So after I shortened the routing of the return line I had the 4 brackets that ran along the passenger side frame rail to contend with. Instead of deleting them, I have decided to use those brackets for the body/charging harness. That frees up the old bendy brackets for the EDIS wiring harness, and the extensions needed to my EFI harness. I love it when little things like that work out for you. It's so rare. Cherish these moments.







Also, this is how I am mounting the proportioning valve.

I have to buy the bolt long enough to do it, but here it is explained, and mocked.

Installed a 1/4" rivnut in the top mounting hole location

A couple spacers.

Everything still fits.





How I currently stand. Haha



I'm keeping busy, so I guess I have that going for me.

This has seriously got to be every Z fan's wet dream.

to have a non running money pit?

agreed.

Rude.

Haha he's right though.

Non running for sure.

But money pit? Honestly, nah.

The car is only appreciating in value each year. I've invested a total of 12 grand on this car. Including purchasing and shipping it here. That's painting it. Building a fresh motor. Driving it in both carbureted and fuel injected forms. Interior upgrades. Fully adjustable suspension. Fuel system upgrades. Rust proofing. And now designing and building (takes time) my own standalone programmable efi system.. That's a lot if you ask me.

Not to mention the knowledge base I have gained from doing said things.

I still feel I am waaay ahead of the game.

Take 12 grand. Try to restomod a 41 year old foreign car. And do this while teaching yourself how automotive systems (all of em) work. Design and implant your own designs. Let me know how far you've goten.


It'll be cool....one day....haha
