Yes I do. At this point (driven by many suggestions) I am not sure if I should use that or just purchase an entire aftermarket harness and computer. Suggestions anyone?

If you have room on the inside of the exhaust manifold and the engine......We can angle mill the exhaust manifold to sweep it in towards the engine to give the 02 sensor room......let me know......

It is pretty tight in there as well. I am going to look at some block hugger headers as well. That flange is HUGE [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

I would suggest you buy the repro 3/8th fuel line kit. It will run under the A-arm and get it away from the manifold. It also runs through the driveshaft tunnel rather than alongsifdde the frame (next to the RH exhaust). Otherwies you can expect vapor lock problems.
