More progress on the truck tonight, finished the fuel line from fuel pump to carb and installation of oil pressure sending unit. The adapter used to raise the oil sending unit, was from a different chevy engine, photo of it along with engine progress. Also started cleaning up the engine wire harness. A lot of the wires are no longer needed, including the computer under the dash. Using the 1986 Chevy Truck Wiring Diagrams manual to confirm which are not needed. The photos show the initial sorting of keepers and ones to be removed/released.

The first photos also shows the coil mounting bracket used. It connects to an intake manifold bolt. It keeps the coil mounted to the engine.

The original computer will be removed and its firewall grommet used to connect wiring to MSD box. More photos of it to be provided. The engine wiring harness changes are being made to clean up firewall appearance.

Back working on finalizing, the mounting of the bed to the frame. The predrilled bed board holes for the frame bolts, needed to be enlarged to accept the metal spacers used to securely attach the bed, via the frame, spacer, washer that is recessed into the bed board, and finally the bolt that holds all this together.
