Ok not a bad few hours, unit is mounted and onto the next steps. A few things were an annoyance, the plate that bolts to the unit didn't line up, I had to open the holes. I didn't have a 1-1/4 drill bit so I had to drill out 7/8 then use a die grinder to get it big enough. Not thier fault. The tape you have to wrap around the pipe for the sensor is a ***** and they didn't say in the instructions the unit was under pressure so when I took the fitting off it shot out and scared the crap out of me. Otherwise I'll have to mod my glovebox (known value) and move my ignition box.

Good for a laugh I had to remove the patch I welded in when I removed the stock system.
