I picked up the painted cab yesterday from Richard's. Still waiting on motor from Kevin's machine. Had to buy a new crank, and that was much cheaper than turning the old one. I will try to take the hood and fenders over to Richard's some time soon so they can work on them.

I think I will buy these just to have them. Let me know how to pay you if you still have them. rmerritt@comcast.net

My post disappeared, but no, you do not use the white wire. Look at my very first post in this thread. The coil just plugs back onto the stock connectors.

The stock coil wires just plug back into the coil. The power comes from the bulkhead connector.

From my first post: Loose wires: Red with fuse - battery positive Black - battery negative Red/White - switched positive. I think I ran mine to the fuse box Green - fuel pump. Either directly to fuel pump (if amp load is not to high), or trigger the stock or aftermarket fuel pump solenoid...

The Holley harness plugs into the stock distributor. It does not attach to the coil. I did not use the white wire at all. In fact, I think that Tyson fried his Holley by using the white wire.

Thanks to Ken Bartlett, I have a brand spanking new instrument panel harness to put in the GT. I also have a new front light harness that will be going in. Thanks, Ken.

A couple of days ago, I modified the rear brake line to get rid of the rear abs. I also painted the bracket that the prop valve attaches to. Yesterday, I finished the body work on the cab and primed the body work and roof. I ran out of primer before I could get a thick coat, so I will guide...

I painted my junkyard dash yesterday. I think it turned out great. I did have to fix one spot where I chipped it while getting out of the door at pick and pull. I used the same plastic repair stuff that I use to fix cladding tabs. I used Bulldog adhesion promoter and Duplicolor vinyl paint...

Empty motor stand pic: I took the motor and parts to the machine shop last week. I have decided to run Vortec heads, and those are on their way. Personal top tip: I like to take a big piece of cardboard and label where all the bolts go on the motor while taking it apart. It makes it much...

More progress. Yesterday, I installed the driver door. Not an easy task working alone. I had to do it twice, as I forgot to drill the hole that was needed for the door wires into the non-power door that I am using. Lori was at Cheri's beach house, so I had some time. Later, I went ahead...

Yesterday, I did the body work on the hood and sanded all the spray paint off. That was a real pain in the ass and took about 3 hours with an 80 grit DA. PO had laid it on pretty thick. The hood came off of the $150 parts truck. I also painted most of the front part of the frame.

I did a write up somewhere about modifying the wiring harness. The tach signal comes off the coil using the stock wire going to the cluster harness.

Yesterday, while waiting to pick Denym up to do soil borings, I went ahead and 2k primed the fenders. Now for more blocking. Last night, I filled in the low spots on the driver door that I got from Hollis junkyard and blocked everything with 80 grit. Ready for 2K.

It was cold last night, so I spent some time in the shop and took the a/c box apart and cleaned and painted it. There were so many leaves in it, it's amazing that it blew much air at all.

Dear diary, Here is the latest progress. Yesterday, I pulled the motor outside of the shop and used liberal Super Clean to clean it up so it wouldn't be so nasty to work on...

Have you checked the fuel pump relay? I had a bad one and the long start was caused by the fuel pump only working when sufficient oil pressure was reached, thus triggering the fuel pump. You can swap the A/C relay over to see if that makes a difference.

More progress. I went ahead and pulled the motor last sunday after my usual trip to smith creek. Lori was riding the mule, so I got bored. The transmission is out and at Dale's shop for a rebuild. I will also get him to get me a TC. Had to order the input drum reinforcement kit from Pro...

Where are you located? I am pulling the motor out of my 92 GT and have no use for it once I pull the heads.

Goals for the day accomplished by noon, and installed vac purge valve on Denym's truck in the middle. {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/i1256.photobucket.com\/albums\/ii490\/merritrw\/core%20support%20gone_zpsz9c1tok7.jpg"} Trans out. Note to self: remove TV cable with...
