Do yourself a favour and remove the chrome cover that covers the resistor.
It's doing nothing but keeping the heat in - that the resistor needs to get rid of.
My buddy has the same unit on a 440 in a 1958 Christine car - it stranded us one day when the resistor over heated and stopped working...
Here's some more close-up pics.
That black hockey stick tape bundle is my ammeter wiring connections. I have by-passed my ammeter guage.
The 2 wires are bolted together and taped up - that's why there are no connections on the back of the ammeter gauge.
Tony, on a hot start and you holding the gas pedal down to start it - it's probably due to heat soak and fuel percolation inside the carb bowls.
Then you have to crank & crank to get fresh fuel back into the fuel bowls.

I used these LED's in my dash.
It uses the same bulbs as yours.
I prefer the cool blue color instead of the green tint originally used.

Your GTX look awesome.
You left before the awards were handed out and your name was called for an award.
I think it was one of three for the peoples choice award.

Congratulations.

See my build postings in the members projects section.

I was just hoping there was a way to tap into the bulkhead to get the factory tach to work instead of running the trigger wire all the way to the coil from inside the car.
That's all.
Okay, I was able to get a few pics of the wiring.
I will take T2R9's advice about tapping into the cavity 7 on the diagram 72RoadrunnerGTX shows on the interior side of the bulkhead connector.
That way I do not have to put any more holes in the firewall.
