The top is perfect. The bottom is a slight bit off, but I think it's close enough. No kinking and enough engagement for a clamp

I've got a few things in motion, but I picked up some radiator hoses tonight. Both needed a little trimming, but they both work. One of the pluses of the Holley mid mount system is the swivel hose connections. Top: NAPA 16619 (with reducer to the radiator) Bottom: NAPA 9531

I got my tweaked transmission upper cross member painted and installed. I had to clearance it more than I wanted so I added another plate at the front to keep it stiff I also got my drive shaft, so that had to get put in as well.

How well does the battery mount work on a B-body? I have a relocation kit ready to go for the trunk, but I haven't installed it yet. I was planning on installing a relay box in that spot, but it looks like a really good spot for the battery as well.

I originally bought a BBK for mine, but it was expensive and the sensors didn't match the Terminator X kit I bought. I ended up swapping it for an LS one from Fitech and an adapter plate. It came with the sensors and was a lot cheaper. Looks a little better as well in my opinion. The...

I got the steering column all back together. I used an old throttle spring to make the key return spring. I think it will work. I was pretty happy with how it all went together. Not to difficult or time consuming. The cuda Cody videos really helped. Now just gotta cut the hex rod to length...

I got all my steering column parts painted and should be good for reassembly tomorrow assuming I'm not missing anything. I also got my radiator and overflow reservoir mounted. It's coming along. Pretty soon I'm going to run out of things to do that don't require wires.

I'm reading about the lockout tube and whether it should go back in. I don't mind the wheel lock feature, but I don't need the linkage connection at the bottom anymore. There's also not a tapped hole for the allen set screw in the (middle?) collar. I've watched the cuda Cody videos, but...

I was able put put shroud on my radiator and mount my fans. The shroud left a large gap top and bottom so I found some 1" expanding foam tape to seal it. I also got started tearing my column apart to convert to a floor shift. I didn't realize how crummy this thing looks. I got all my intake...

One step forward, two steps back today. I dialed in my rear suspension and measured for my drive shaft. While under there I realized I hadn't left enough slack in my parking brake cable and it was rubbing the tire. I'll have to drill a couple holes through the torque box and reroute it since...

Turns out the stock bump stops still fit so back on they went. I also raised the rear about an inch. Still haven't put the car back down to check yet though. I know I'm going a little against the grain on this, but I ran my parking brake cables. They run down the outside of the driver's side...

A lot of this I know, but that's a super helpful post, the kind of post that makes this site so great. Thanks for the time and advice. I was planning on using a relay box like this: Relay box I've been tracing the wiring diagrams. I hadn't quite figured out which wire was the accessory and...

I had considered running a distribution block by running a wire from the starter. Something about not having a straight shot from the battery to the starter seems a little iffy, but I've seen it done and I'm still considering it. I was planning on using the distribution block to power any of...

I started doing a little wiring research today starting with the starter. I feel like if I were starting from scratch I could get the engine running, but I might have power issues in the existing harness. The black wire at the bottom I believe is a ground for the neutral safety switch. Not...

Read above for why I'm not using a using a flex line. I've got the coilovers at the lowest setting right now. There's plenty of adjustability left to bring them up to where it needs to be.

The cross bar bolted into one of the holes where the bump stops was. It might still work, but I need to look at it more. The shocks have a built in bump stop on the shaft, but it might not be enough.

Installing the shocks was harder than it should have been. I have some suggestions for Ridetech, but I got them in. Also got the car back down on all fours. I was worried that there wouldn't be enough drop in the back, but that's not going to be a problem. Back needs to come up and the...

I got my axle in. Not as easy of a task as I was expecting. Not technically hard, just annoying. Pinion angle looks low, but I think that's because I'm at full droop. It should improve once I get the shocks on. Also, my recently created brake line has an issue....

I considered that, but the pads come out the top after pulling the long cotter pin. Also the calipers are fixed, not floating like most OEM style. Therefore you don't need the flex to allow movement. Only time I'll need to disconnect the line is when I'm pulling the rotor for some reason.

I just rented one from the auto parts store.
