    I love that pre-oiler!! I used to have one of those old refillable fire extinguishers to prime and bleed Diesel fuel. Yep, Fuel in a fire extinguisher. I painted it black... I have a Freon tank I use now. Looks like a propane tank with a couple more valves. I painted that green. At least you won't have any bugs in the system now (pun).

    I think it would have been easier to start from scratch, one wire at a time. As for getting to the black box and the rest of the parts under the dash i am going to make it removable.

    Got all wiring to cpu done , but have a problem with accelerator pedal, working on that. If you want to do this it is not to hard, but do one wire at a time!
    I cut all wires to 70 way plug so i could get the wires where the plug would not fit, then when when i went to put them back together there was some that had three or four the same- **** -where to put them?
    Talked to ford racing tec- was told to go by pin# not wire color- ant sent me a better pin chart. IMG_7724.JPGIMG_7727.JPGIMG_7728.JPG

    OK i found the problem, there is two tan-yellow wires in the 70 way and i had the one that goes to the c47 plug going to the gas pedal. changed that and ok.
    Will wire up cruse control and some other small things, then work on first start.
    Checked 50way, looks good, but the wire color is not as on chart.

    Great work as usual Tom. Where did you end up bringing all the wiring in for the CPU?

    O2 and starter on right lower. Alt, Mass air flow- fan and electra steer under the manifold and hole in firewall. The main engine bundall is under manifold and uses a notch in top of firewall because i cut and lengthened one wire at a time, so had to have hole big enough for plug so i made the u in top of firewall, will put black gasket maker to seal when done.

    It takes a lot of time to finish all the things i find before first start (and i find more i do ). Want to check all systems running before body is put on. Sooo put heater AC control on and no power, S*** ! The relays are under other wiring--
    another should have checked before they got covered up!

    The problem with AC was i forgot to put a relay in for my remote switch for ac pump, had planned for it but late night and got sidetracked. Was happy with wiring and computer layout, by removing computer and dropping fuse panel got to wiring to check and fix.

    I was going to start engine yesterday but the SCT x4 does not read car, so could not put on custom start up tune. Will have Son help, & see how that goes.

    OK- WE found a bad wire, after that the X4 worked and loaded startup tune. Engine started right up! Still have some things to work through-cruse and reverse lockout donot work- think i need signal wire in to speed sensor, am not using for speedo. Have video on phone but can not put up.IMG_7745.JPGIMG_7747.JPGIMG_7749.JPG

    It is good to start the engine and listen to it instead of me making engine noise! Have one problem yet to work out, with ac and fan.

    The only way to get lights to work right (turn-marker- brake-hazard) is to cut the purple wire ( brake) to column. But then will need a third bulb
    This is with stock 33 tail lights , but the LED that come with kit are only three wire looks like need four with ground?

    I had the same problem with the brake light feeding to the front turn signal lights, fixed it by connecting both the brake and turn signal wires to the brake LED rear light and installing a diode in the turn signal wire so it couldn't feed back to front turn signals. ( This is with the LED lights that FFR provided with kit)

    Put down second layer of heat & sound (FFR inflation kit over dynamat) With heat shields over mufflers and have dynadeck to put on floor. Want to not cook feet when it is 100 out, and because of health wife is temp sensitive.

    Worked on window wipers (specialty power windows) had to drill down in window frame because top is permenit. lined parts up and drilled holes, put together , looked good, motor would not clear roll bar front leg. Sooo back apart
    and had to cut both ends of first tube and reflair ends put all back together. Drilled new holes and together again. Will take apart to cut down shaft & out side tube.DPP_33--000114.JPGDPP_33--000115.JPGDPP_33--000116.JPGDPP_33--000117.JPGDPP_33--000118.JPGDPP_33--000119.JPG

    AFAIK, there's only one universal kit from specialty power windows. The other question is whether it will clear the brake MCs. I have this unit in my Oze, but in that car, there's just barely enough room to fit the motor into the lower kick panel. The tube is run straight up with a large radius 90 bend to go across the car, under the windshield. If you ruin a tube, it's the same as a 3/8" aluminum fuel line.

    Universal kit (you pick the switch ) but you need to make the mount ( just a piece of aluminum to fit the underside of dash ). Will bolt to window or top bolts with just the 45 spacer.

    Finished the wiper instal DPP_33--000111.JPG Cut the dash out ( will make aluminum dash ) DPP_33--000112.JPG In upper left of dash you can see wiper motor, plenty of room. DPP_33--000113.JPG
    With all the mods i did , had hard time getting body on--thinking of painting just the main body on frame.
    The wipers do get some in the way of defrost tubes-will work this out!

    Good idea, cutting out the front of the dash. I still wouldn't want to perform brake service with this setup. Think you could replace a master cylinder with the body on?

    On window wipers--make sure you have the first piece of tube at least as long as drive rod! I did not and wipers will not work! After changed the mount and first part of tube --was able to use a tube that is just longer than rod--
    all works good.
