Well sidetracked on the car for a bit due to work and moving. I started working again on getting it back together a couple weeks ago still a bunch to do.. I pulled the old HEI out of it today and changed the oil and worked on the wiring some. I bought a new distributor and ignition box from summit along with a battery relocation kit. i am working on the power steering hoses and ran into a problem. I have an old style Saginaw pump and metric lines so I will need an adapter or the valve from a newer pump. Any body have one?

Well got the power steering hooked up today along with radiator installed. I got the fan set up from a 80’s Camaro. Still need to space it on the bottom but should be easy. I also have to wire it. I also had a pick of the front accessory’s which I bought back in spring from white performance in Kingsport.

Worked on the wiring some today. Mounted the summit box and the ford solenoid to the firewall. If I get time I am going to do the trunk mount battery installation tomorrow.

It's coming along nicely but I would also add a rain gutter above your block off plate so water does not run down your newly mounted ignition components and also is the rear bumper cover not fully mounted in this picture? Something just looks off IMO

Taillights are not in yet. Probably won’t see the rain but that is a good idea.
