Day 8

Today was mostly underside stuff, so no pics of that. Here’s the Edelbrock high pressure fuel pump to feed the Pro Flow 4 MPFI sitting on top of the engine I mounted up yesterday. Dave got the torque converter bolts sorted out, and with the exception of the transfer case shifter, we’re ready to hang the exhaust and replace the transmission mount (underneath). I was on the phone with Scorpion Racing Products about the rocker arms (asking which studs I need to fit their roller rockers, and Norm suggested he could send some pedestal-mounted roller rockers to preclude the need for studs. So, we’ll be blowing off the roller rockers until the trial ones show up and I can see if they’re going to work (or not). After that, I tore into the Redneck’d wiring harness that came from Klooge, removed the Duraspark circuits, and got most of the leftovers identified and marked, now just need to figure out what the remaining 4 or 5 wires that had been clipped go to, repair them, then wrap the whole thing so it looks nice with all the new Edelbrock wiring I’ll start installing tomorrow.
