Got a bunch done today w/ my father... new tach, new fire system, hood pins etc.

Towed the car down to Greensboro, NC to it's new home in my father's garage Friday night. He finally has a place to park our car trailer and he's only 50 min from VIR so it makes sense to keep it here. Plus it frees up my garage for my new Jetski

Finished the hoodpin setup, but forgot to take pics of the hood on. Installed a new Autometer 5" analog tach, a manual fan switch, and a new Firefox fire system.

Hood won't be going anywhere now... will snap a pic of the pretty side tomorrow. I used allen headed bolts w/ lock nuts and washers similar to what the rest of the car uses. Got it all at Fastenal.



The tach was the big project... and I'm very happy we did it. I ended up pillaging the stock EFI wiring harness remnants from our carb swap for wires and more importantly a plug so I could make a quick disconnect for the tach and remove the dash easily. Took a long time getting it just right and soldering the connections, but it wall works!





All wire loomed and pretty after verifying it works...




Converted my interior wiper motor wire/switch to a manual fan switch




New Firefox setup installed... was able to shorten the previous bottle's hold-downs to fit the narrower firefox. Also was able to ue the existing nozzles, but installed a new pull cord. Nice setup... but no instructions, but I figured it out.




The new lexan windshield didn't come in on Friday for me to help install it, but I have to say taking the glass out made it 1000x easier to work on the car.

G'night!
