BUILD THREAD Project long time coming

[Streetbu]

Looks like it's fitting nice. Were those long tube headers for a fourth gen Camaro or are they for a G-body? I'm not familiar with them.

They are for a G body. I might toss them on tomorrow just to check fitment, but they'll have to come off in order for other things to be done.

Get a torch and hammer ready! Beauty of them being $300 headers...doesn't hurt as bad to ding em if needed.

Hopefully I don't need to do that!

So where is everyone putting their ecu? How about the hole for the wiring harness?

What about routing the wiring like the OE EFI stuff was done through a hole under the HVAC box & put the computer under an ECU style 2pc footwell kick panel set-up?

Being that mine is a '78, I don't have a hole but that's easily remedied. If the harness will reach its not a bad idea!

Yes-sir, I understood it's a '78.

My point was the routing & through firewall access spot worked on the later EFI cars so that seemed like a logical start suggestion. The later PASS side inner kick panel is just a 2pc set-up (w/the ECU sandwiched between) vs. the earlier 1pc kick panel (carb/pre-CCC) so it's possibly also direct plug & play if as you mentioned the harness length allows.
