I actually spent an hour on the phone this morning going from agency to agency at the Airport and I finally got hooked up with the Customs department ......asked if they had a Lost and Found........after a few minutes it ended up they had the Passports.......Must have fallen out of my pocket and somebody found them and was nice enough to turn them in.........Went up there today and picked them up..........

Got the air intake tube finished up today........After looking at the way that GM engineered the fitting that connected to the valve cover vents to the inlet tube........It seemed to me it was like a mini chamber so any residual anything would go to the bottom of the vessel......so......I made a mini version out of aluminum for the Vapor to flow thru, I probably made it more complicated than it needed to be ......but.......What's new.....LOL....

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car Part 2
 

Well..........Can't put it off any longer......I bought an American Autowire Classic kit....Nice kit but they provide for every conceivable option and variable......so....I have probably 1/2 the wires that aren't going to be used ,.....so.....I have to sort all that stuff out.....First picture is what I started with this AM............the other pic is later in the day.....should have it pretty much sorted out and neatened up in a couple more hours......,.So far.....everything works like it should........LOL

Pile of wires guy!

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car Part 2
 

Making a little progress every day.....I have pretty much all the basic wiring in place and fit.....all the loose wires you see left are mostly for all the Dakota Digital senders and sensors.......Looks like a lot but its only a couple of hours to get everything cut, fit and installed.........

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car Part 2
 

I have 95% of the wiring completed....Dakota digital senders and modules all hooked up .....I powered up the Vintage Air system and ran it thru it's calibration procedure.......everything worked.......LOL........I just have to finish up wiring up the Radio wiring for the speakers......add the rest of the duct hoses for the A/C and put the dash back in.........I sure wish those wheels would show up..........As it is right now if I put fuel in the tank it should start right up........After the rims get here and I can move the car around ........the last thing is the exhaust system....

Wow, you're like a well-oiled machine getting things done. I don't recall ever seeing too many projects come together as quickly and as seamlessly as yours do. Bravo.

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car Part 2
 

Everything was going very smooth today.....got all the radio and speaker wires installed......all the loose ends taken care of.......so......I was getting ready to re-install the Dash........In the American Autowire kit there was a new Ignition switch and a new Head Light Switch.......I was going to use the old switch and keep the stock Headlight Knob and pull stem......But.....After checking it seems the switches were wired differently.......Darn.......The Autowire switch had a turned aluminum knob that I didn't want to use.......so .......I took the stock Stem and slid it into the new switch........Cool.....So....I tried to get the stem out so I could install it in the dash............Need I say any more.........Darn......I've been fighting that release button and stem for a couple hours........I give up........Guess I'll have to find out where to get a similar switch......Break this one apart to get the stem out, and this time I won't install the stem until the dash is installed.........Everything just came to a screeching halt.......But.....It was time for a nap anyway......LOL

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car Part 2
 

Got it.......But my finger is pretty sore from pushing on that dam button........Did I say I hate those darn things....

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car Part 2
 

So.....I was programming the Dakota Digital controllers today with the correct senders and everytime I would turn the key on to start the programming....The fuel pump would kick on for a couple of seconds.......I didn't have any fuel in the tank and it was running dry......so....I didn't like that so I went and got some Gas for the tank........and as the pump would go on for those two seconds I smelled some gas.....looked around and found a fitting that wasn't tightened all the way.........Fixed it and thought to myself......Hummm!!!......actually this old beater should actually start ........

Getting a lot closer.........Got the Radio all hooked up and installed.......It's the stock AM radio that has been reworked with all solid state insides......AM/FM Stereo and Sirius/XM .......Pretty cool.....The heater/ A/C unit is ready for charging......one problem I had that I knew would be an issue at a later time were the Dome / Console courtesy lights didn't work.....so.....I thought I had something hooked up wrong.......well, today I wanted to get the inside finished up and it was time to deal with that issue.......I had just put some Chinese LED bulbs in those two spots and since they were brand new I never gave it a second thought that the bulbs were no good........LOL.....After checking and replacing the Chinese &quot;Garbage&quot; with regular bulbs everything works just fine.......the only thing that doesn't work out of all the wiring and electrical issues is the console clock bulb..........Got Lucky........Here are some pic's from today.....a long way from a week ago.........The Wheels are finished and are in transit.....so .....we are getting ready for the exhaust system and front end alignment.......

Nice work.

It is amazing how easy the LS-engines start.

I think I have to out and start mine, it has been standing for 4 months now and winter is not over in at least 3 more months.
