well i got a complete system off an 86 z28,with complete harness from the ENTIRE car..not just the computer harness.so far so good..havent really ran into a million problems or anything..but im still in the detailing stage..hopefully within a week or so i'll have it running. i also got the fuel tank with sender and electric fuel pump from the 86 z...change all rubber lines over to braided stainless steel..or some type of metal line capable of withstanding 45+ psi of pressure.

Lookin good.

You wont need that paper filter anymore. See how far you can throw it.

Also, went a little crazy with the paint huh. The alternator is covered. Will it even turn? LOL

Looking good Mark, but shouldn't the Crew get the first look at it?! After all, the general consensus on the CC board was that your car was not a POS!!!
