Thanks guys! I'm currently waiting on the wiring harness from Speartech. I have gotten some more little stuff done but I haven't posted any pictures due to the sizing problem on the uploads. When that gets fixed, I'll catch up on pics. I plan on taking it to Cruising the Coast, I just need a few more things to fall into place to make it happen......

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Got the fuel rails from Holley, (nice pieces!) and a FPR from Aeromotive. I still need a few more pieces and I'll be done with the fuel system. I'm also finishing up the A/C lines and mounting the condenser.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Been reading thru the whole build. Looks great! Going to be a lot of help to me as I joined the 6.2L/6l80e club the other night and bought a Camaro setup off Ebay. It's not quite as low as your 135 mile setup, its got 1200 miles.

Hope your ok with me asking lots of questions, I'd really appreciate any help I can get.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Hey Rob, does the Holley LS accessory bracket kit use the stock idler pulleys and alternator? Also, which water pump are you using? Thanks man.

The idler doesn't work or the pulleys. I used my factory water pump which has the same spacing as the truck pumps. The alternator will work also.

Here's the kit I used:

And the directions:

Thanks for the offer. I wish I had a stable enough schedule to plan stuff sooner instead of last minute.....

I have an 10 AN feed line that splits in to 8 AN feed line that goes to both sides of the rails and then an 8 AN return line.
