I picked up a Painless Wiring Alternator Kit.
That junction box is full full now.

Did you put a 30 amp fuse on the red power wire to the blower relay? Hate to see heat damage sneak up on you at the new connector.
Since I'm not using the evap canister, I decide to replace it with a vacuum canister instead of the factory ball canister.
This way the fender will look cleaner without the canister bolted to it. I space out the vac can bracket and figure out how to install it (since I want it in the same location as the evap can).
There's nothing close to bolt it to, so I figure out a bracket to bolt to the bracket. I'm probably going to come up with a better solution than this, but for now I'm going with it.
Not bad. When someone looks, at first glance it'll look factory.

It's fused at the starter with a factory style fusible link.
Even with the fusible link I'd still put one up by the relay. I've seem too many of those burnt/melted connectors cause GM bean counters removed that fuse in the mid '70's. Adding this to both Jr.'s & my Montes.
Just out of curiosity, why aren't you using the EVAP canister to provide vent for gas tank, and carb bowls if equipped?
I'm using a simple tank vent at the rear coupled with a "roll over" valve
Ah, ok that makes sense. I like the idea of roll over valve!
If you've noticed my avatar, you'll know I'm painting the car in the 1983 Hurst Olds style.
I thought since the real HO had the Lightning Rods and the shifter tag to warn the customer to read the owners manual, I would copy that style of tag to go with all the other slightly modified features of the car.
I do have a Reverse Manual Valve Body TH400, and that Quicksilver Shifter. Why not warn myself about it. I think it will be a fun touch for the car shows (if that day comes as slow as I'm going).
It's a rough print to make sure the scale and shifter handle opening work, but I like it.
