I found a couple more small glimpses of the tube hanging down during rocker repair. Thank you @diesellibrarian

Glad to help! Haha.

I've been enjoying your thread. Really great work. The 3FE is going to be sweet in your 40!

Another random capture, I think I have enough to get it done now.

Mine is 100% original and can take pictures of the full length and all the OEM attachment points. Pictures of both ends if needed.

If that is not too much trouble. Posted on here will help others also. Absolutely no rush.

Does anyone know what this part looks like in real life? 71141-90322
From pictures I have been able to find it looks like a washer, but the parts diagram doesn't.

Going by what’s on my ‘75…it seems to be a 1” size washer about 3/32 thick….this is only a guess as I did not remove it but…this also could be something someone added somewhere in the last 50 years?

Almost done with the harness

Much respect on this work

Ready for test fit. I ordered this 6 way sealed connector for the rear chassis harness connection. I need a few other 6.3mm bodies to replace a few originals that are kind of rough. I added a charge light relay that will turn on the brake light if the alternator dies. I wrapped the main power wires from the ignition switch to the fuse box separately so if I have a melt down, it will not damage the rest of the harness.

Cleaned up the ignition switch

Just read through this entire thread - so awesome. I have a lot of similarities and probably a bunch of receipts that are the same. Keep up the amazing work.
