Started on moving around the fuel system. Got the flex fuel sensor in. Need to wait on a -10 coupler to get the 10m aeromotive filter in. Also got my Driveshaft sensor in. Used these super cool zip tie magnetic anchors... No more self tapper for me. No holes, easy to re-use, and support about 10lbs each.
Dash is finally back in. Everything seems to be working as it should too.
Not too bad. Just remember to work from thick to thin and add more filler rod to the thin side to help control the heat. You can always go back and do targeted penetration passes on the joint. It isn't structural.
I was definitely trying to but I have have 15 mins of tig experience, so having to weld this in my offhand standing up... Wanting to do something and actually doing it are different lol.
There was a couple spots I focused too much on the bung and not enough on the pipe that it didn't wet in to the pipe. I had to go back and go over it with just the torch and no filler to get it right.
2nd Update. Hopefully starting the car in a week or two.
I've never thought of the USB port for ECU connection. Having the USB cable always bopping about on the floor or under the passenger seat irks me considering that mine is a Holley specific part. I'd love to be able to splice that into a dash mounted port.
Is it a generic plug or a Fuel Tech component? Any link you can attach, or let us know the source?

Literally it's just a bulkhead, universal piece. A regular male USB plugs into the back of it and then another regular male USB plugs into the front of it.
Have you used it yet?
I feel kinda silly, that’s an obvious setup that I NEVER thought of. SMH lol
