Thanks. didn't get much done today, recovering from the long day yesterday, and we went out to breakfast with the car club. I started in on the wiring, didn't get too far. The shifter needed some work, like installing an neutral safety switch, and reverse lockout. So I did that.

The drive setup is such that there's an extra half inch of pulley hanging out the front, so I added the bevel to hid that fact. The extra is a result of changing from 3" belt to 2" belt.Dustin in Pennsylvania

You guys shoulda seen the crowd around this car all night at the show. Everyone was crawling and drooling all over it. Jim plays it down a bit but his handiwork is even more impressive in person.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

thanks!
Finished the shifter, wired the switches on it. The toggle switch and light are for the torque converter, switching from low to high stall. Light will remind me that it's in high stall. Still need to figure out the final marking for what gear it's in.
More wiring work, it's going slow, but making progress. The alternator and horn are wired, the starter and ignition is getting there. Although there's no wiring inside to connect them to yet. I ran out of friction tape, need a couple more rolls.

It would look good on your Firebird, although it only really "fits" if you do the rest of the wiring in a way that makes it look like it was built in the old days. And I don't know how it would blend in with the EFI stuffLast edited by squirrel; May 20, 2014, 09:21 AM.My fabulous web page
