O.K............Getting back to the build....Spent the morning getting all the bugs out of the cable shift assy ... I had to add some length to the shift arm to get the Ratio of movement to match the column shift.....another thing crossed off the list........



Dave spent the morning hooking up some more wires and adding grounds.....we took the GTO gauge module and plugged it in and as it was going thru it's start-up dianognistics it gave a couple of errors.....one that there was a traction control issue and another that there was a problem with the fuel gauge......Dave sat down and double checked the schematics, but decided to give John at Speartech another call..........




While all that was going on I decided to start mocking up the Mass airflow sensor and cold air box..........



Went and got all the stuff to install the Battery and cables today for installation tomorrow....(been using a booster battery pack till now)maybe some of the computer issues are from low voltage from the pack.....??????? Hit the start key and the starter wanted to engage, but again a lack of voltage was an issue.....It's close to starting??

First off.............The "Tangle" of wires is disappearing.........



And I have all the outside A.C. and heater lines crimped and assembled.......the break in the two smaller lines in the pic is where the Filter/Drier goes.........



Also got the gas tank vent put in.......I positioned it high in the wheel well opening where it will be covered by the fender and high enough to do the job.....It has a small slotted screened area that is facing away from where the tire would throw stuff that is where the vent opening is





As I was digging around looking for some parts today I came across the coil covers and just for the heck of it I put them on....I didn't think they would fit, and they dropped right on.........



Now............At this point Dave said "Let's see if it will start"..........Hit the key and it started Imediately.....Wow!!.......I didn't have much faith in the engines starting with the complexity of the wiring and everything else.....Just go's to show that Dave and the GM Engineers know what they are doing......Even the drive by wire gas pedal worked
