Alright, need to do a quick update since I'm a slacker and have been working like crazy!
The wiring for the 80E is hooked up and tied safely. I was busy during derby weekend so nothing got done on the car until yesterday.
The new Hurst shifter showed up, as well as a genuine Walbro 255....still waiting on some fittings and a pre filter.
I've never used rivnuts until yesterday and I'm a fan of those now! I went ahead and temporarily mounted the shifter and got the cable adjusted perfect on the 1st try!!!! I'll obviously need to pull the shifter to put the carpet in, but with rivnuts it's now a one person job. Here are a couple pics for now, hope to get more done this week....
