I am very interested in how you wire up the 3fe into your harness, as I need to do that on the one sitting in my garage!

help

do you have a hood with these rubber bumpers?

I need some diminsions....

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

No but colins hood might be that vintage. Figure it out because i go nothing yet

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Kelly do have the harness? If so we can work something out. Remember when i told u to wait? Well give me a month and i should be able to put that wait to rest.

 

[CrowleyFJ40]

I'll take measurements tomorrow when I get home Kelly and I'll get you the dimensions.

 

[2fpower]

Yes, I do have a harness.... great.

Super Colin! That is the split hood right?

Thanks.

that gauge setup is pretty nice isn't it.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Took some time but in the end yes. Now to wire it into the two harnesses. Lots of wiring to mate and build proper plugs for the harness.

I have done 2 clusters so far and it gets easier on the 2nd one lol.

Shock towers mounted. Had to learn to weld right handed on drivers side. H55 parts should be here next week. Coming from japan via canada. Leaving town this weekend for gpas 99th bday. They didnt even have cars back then.

updates needed. Stop being lazy.
