Builds Fly By Night (13 Viewers)

[RUSH55]

Hey Rush, Did you mount the pedal and seat to see how your leg feels yet? I shortened my pedal quite a bit to give me more leg room.

Eh… no. I’ll have to give that a try.

New keyword for 2024 - Amphenol

I gotta fever. The only cure is more Amphenol.

Sounds like a club drug

St. Louis was a big RUSH town and they would give free concerts in Forest Park back in the early seventies. A good time was had by all.!

I saw them in Des Moines in 75 or so. Those years are foggy at times, so not sure when.

Here’s an update for February -

My 25 point list for winter is down to just 5. A lot of nickel and dime hardware items, but the time to begin the wiring is at hand. I’m starting this by first wiring the ignition circuits and then moving to the engine harness wiring.
The stock ignition switch wiring needed to be grafted into the aftermarket Highway 22 harness, and am doing that via a Delphi/Packard connector, which is what American Autowire uses exclusively in their kits.
Also ordered and installed a new TAC module to throttle pedal harness, as well as a new connector for the TAC ECM wiring. Had a couple wires to shorten on that, and was able to source some Aptiv/MetriPack 150 factory style socket terminals for that.

Heat shields are also back in with some material from Second Skin.

Boy those modern connections are a far cry from the blue bullets we used to use!

Nice to see an update as you pick away

next level s*** right there

Stellar job on those heat shields. I really like Second Skin Audio's products. A little pricier than some of the alternatives but very high quality.

Do you think you have enough wires pulled into that engine bay?

 

[RUSH55]

Thanks guys!

Will still need to pull wire for headlights and turn signals! Haven’t yet decided if I’m going to run those through the same boot as all that other, or have it come through somewhere else.

Nice! A good crimp tool is critical! Do you like the Pressmaster?

My first thought is pull 'em separate.
I don't know why.
I am full of bad ideas, so maybe don't listen to me!

 

[scrapdaddy]

I'm not thinking of any reason to make another hole in the firewall, just to separate.
