Re: A '54 named Busty
and here's a little close up, I got this sending unit with the screw on couplers for a reason so I was not going to cut them off and use the compression AN adapters, it took me a while but I got the right AN adapter that simply screw in, I like this clean setup

Re: A '54 named Busty
and she's in, these sending units come in two different clock positions but this one is good enough for me as long as it fits I can route the steel braided lines accordingly

Re: A '54 named Busty
I swear would it kill 'em to label the return line on this Corvette fuel filter regulator?!?!?! had to find a labeled diagram to run the lines the proper way as it sure aint intuitive at all and the stubs are not long enuff to tell a 3/8ths from a 5/16ths
I know there's an arrow but I took that as directional flow from tank to engine, all I want is a little "R" next to the proper nipple ha ha |

gonna spend most of today cutting up my thumbs whilst attempting to make more steel braided fuel lines, I found some great Fragola brand -6 AN fittings I've ran them in the past so it's just a matter of cutting the lines and putting them on end is in sight!

Re: A '54 named Busty
Injector wires in place (approximately) we fully expect to make adjustments as we go

Re: A '54 named Busty
Man that looks like fun! Almost road worthy.

Re: A '54 named Busty
Wiring is the worst, such a pain. I like to use small zip ties to hold it all together as I go. They are easy to cut off, no adhesive to deal with and you can pull wires out of them if needed. Probably go through a few hundred when building a car.

Re: A '54 named Busty
ha ha, I love a brother who follows along and reads the thread, well, I think my mamma must have dropped the PCM on my head too many times, cause I actually enjoy wiring so we give it a high score of ... [wait for it] ...
Wiring Fun Level (WFL) = 8.0 Cons - old sticky tape gets your hands dirty, nice and black unless you wear gloves to undo it all |

Re: A '54 named Busty
I hear you brother and thank you for the advice I will give the little ones a go, I know that the old tape I used the lighter in color with writing on it, (which you can no longer buy, darn it) was super easy to work with and do and undo and reuse, the darker one is much more difficult to use

Re: A '54 named Busty
Yep, hook up that multimeter and you have a winner...or a looser and you re-do it.
I've not done the thinning of the PCM like you did, and I hooked it up with with all the connectors attached to the wires, but it does looks interesting. Where/how did you learn to thin the harness?

Re: A '54 named Busty
so all these wires will get shortened and new pins crimped on,
FYI the PCM uses two different size pins the pin side is the same size but the part that grabs the wire is two different sizes depending on the gaugeness or thickness of the wire Mouser part numbers: 829-15359001 $15 for 50 and 829-15359002 $20 for 50 I decided to mount the PCM to the firewall on the passenger side for the following reasons
