Everything in the engine bay or engine related (msd, fuel pump, fan etc.) is powered by that panel. That way if there's a problem I don't have to trace it through the GM harness and fight with fuseable links and daisy-chained circuits.

*NOTE* Still not done here, have to remove a few left over AC hoses since I removed AC from the car. Also non of my new valve covers, intake manifold or carb are attached yet.

Which model is that? I've been looking into buying a Weiand 177 to stuff under my hood. Almost bought it last month but spent too much redoing my fuel system, oops.

The carb had is from a dodge dakota 5.9 but a 5.2 would work too i am not using it now cause i blew a gianto hole through the thing when my car backfired luckly no plastic made it through the carb. Im looking for another but havn't had the chance to actually look if you know what i mean
