The wiring harness goes in this weekend. In preparation I bought the gauge panel to match the dash. This is the horizontal layout guages with horizontal radio. I also purchsed the updated switches that go into the console. Considering the fuel inlet system, I wanted to upgrade it BEFORE I put the new motor in. I also wanted to leave the option of going to a electric fuel pump in the future. So I had a new fuel inlet sytem made up which I hope will work. I have stainless pipe that is -10 and -6 sizes mounted with AN flares to AN bulkhead 90 degree fittings. The idea is I will run the straight pipe to the bottom of the tank. I had a fabrication shop build a 1/4" aluminum plate that the bulkhead fittings bolt into and then the two pipes are braced together with joining stainless peices down the length of the pipe. This is WAY overbuilt, I should have no problems with this. The parts cost about $80 and the labor was bout $100. I also included a shot of the steering wheel.
