My son has taken a small vacation, cutting metal, measuring, re-cutting, sanding, measuring, complicated and very boring parts of an important job, is seriously boring to him at 7 years old.

After cleaning up the garage mess I stake my work area in the driveway:


Heres the progress of my coil pack mount:




In goes the cradle.... AGAIN.... more fitting and measuring, you can see in a couple pics where the coil mount is, and where the computer will be mounted on the firewall heat shield.

I have decided to hide my wiring harness behind my heat shield, so i'm sorry FieroFlyer your excellent wiring harness has gotten the cut and i'm lengthing things to make the engine bay look nicer

Heres a pic where im testing my ideas, measuring, and just sighing at the start of another time consuming idea.



heres the harness sitting on my dads work bench as I use the soldering gun.



more pics to come this weekend as I finish the harness up.

I have a few days off so here comes the pics... after many attempts to make a brake booster hard tube around the thermastat housing I got one to work, I grinded it down somewhat so it doesnt look like crap (brass piping from sears )
now that that is done the throttle body goes on, and things start to get back on track. months ago I had the machine shop guy re-do the location for the SC idler in the rear (on the old coil mount) as the belt going to it from the crank was hitting the 95 regal ac unit (im assuming its larger than later models, now it doesnt hit but required alot of work.
today, I also put together the new fuel pump, but the wire ends dont match the plug spot so i'll probably goto the gm dealership in the morning and get a plug and splice it into the existing wiring, then theres a few small things to do and then the cradle goes in and I start pluging things in. i'm hoping that I will have a "start up" video in the next few days, not driveable though.... one thing at a time

heat shield finished about 90 days ago, just forgot to post pic.
