I’m pretty sure if I had a solid day without distractions… it would be running!

Started the wiring process… didn’t get much done. Realized I needed a new MAP sensor, and a fuel pressure sensor. So, they’re on order.

Well, got the sensor, and the fitting for my fuel pressure sensor. Had an hour and actually got something done. Doesn’t look like much, but did a little work. I wish I had wired this before I did the plumbing and installed the headers, but oh well.

very similar look to the US Mags Rambler

Looks wicked tight, but it looks like I have 1/8 or so of clearance

Haven’t done much this summer, other than work. Just got tires mounted to the rims, and need to get my butt in gear to get the rest done. Seems like everytime I try to work on the car, something pops up and I get pulled away from it. Still at the wiring phase.

That's a great looking wheel.

What rear diff is in there an 8.5 or a Dana 60?

Glad I caught up on this thread, I love those wheels and was scoping them out for my wagon. Hopefully you can get back to it!

The wagon has a 8.5, my 2 door has a Strange S-60
