The cluster looks great Mark, as does the rest of the truck. I know how time consuming the interior wiring can be. You are so close now.....

Thanks Mike! Yes, the wiring took way longer than I anticipated, but I'm really happy with the quality off the AAW harness. I also took the time with my label maker and labled each harness and made myself a legend.

Today I cut and welded in the notch into the seat so my shifter will clear. I' like the feel of it. It's really comfortable to sit and shift. Luckily I have two seats for the mock up.

Thanks Duane!

After doing the setup and calibration on the gauges today, I can really give them 5 STARS. I am just amazed at how advanced they are, & all the options that came with them! They literally give as much information as a new vehicle would.

Thanks Duane!! It's been a very good learning experience on the do's and don't's...

Okay, since getting my LS conversion going, my ECM continues to throw either P0342 low voltage CPS (cam positioning sensor) or P0343 high voltage CPS. So far, I have changed the CPS with an OEM sensor with a new plug. It still threw the codes. So then, I ohmmeter the 3 wires going from the sensor to the ECM/ #61 ECM blue plug to pink-back wires (low signal) #73 ECM blue plug to Brn-white wires (high signal) and #39 ECM red plug to red wire CPS battery power and all good. I made sure none of the pins were rolled over in the harness or ECM and was okay. So last resort, I called Todd at S&S Performance in Arkansas (who is great at calling back)! They did my rewire on my harness, & he is a super good dude, & suggested I swapp the 2 pulsating wires #73 & 61, that didn't work either. He is now suggested my ECM could be bad.. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem, before I spend more money on a new one. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual

So, I spent most of the weekend working on a bunch of small things I have been wanting to get done for a while. I also, installed longer wheel studs in all 4 wheels and made new spacers for the front wheels out of 1/4" aluminum with my plasma cutter.

This afternoon it was overcast and cooled down to the mid 90's so I took advantage of the weather and washed and detailed my truck. Here are a few new pictures..
