I'm working on my swap still. I will eventually by the Painless wiring kit as $$$ allows and redo the mess I have now. Also I found out that the Speedo cable Swervin (Mike) used was too short for my truck for some reason. I'm not sure how he ran his in comparison to mine but if you go to Auto Zone or O'Rilley's and ask for a speedo cable for a 66 Vette you will be fine.
