Took my steering column apart yesterday, thanks @Cuda Cody  your video was a great help. I just wish that someone many years ago had access to your video. Their method of removing the crush can was 3 screw drivers.  But I got it looking alot better. Today going to paint.

Steering wheel installed today and everything works. But while I was installing the wheel I saw one wire that I forgot to connect. The infamous title lamp. I saw a thread that @Cuda Cody help someone else, now that problem is solved. Anyone that is working on a e-body have come to a great site.

For a stock 383 a 650 AVS works nicely.

Update! I have working under the hood in preparation of cranking her up. Yesterday I got my nerve up and put a battery to check all systems. After ME installing the complete wire harness everything that I checked worked. I was pleased with the out come since the dash had no wiring in it when I got the car. As @anlauto has mentioned many times pay close attention to grounds. I thought I did but guess not. That is where I have to go back ie side lights, signals. All fluids in the motor , just about ready to fire her up. All the family wants to be here when I do, so looks like this weeked.

Since this engine is not original to my car, I have a question  the vacuum nipple on the back of the intake. This nipple is for brake booster I presume, but where do I get the vacuum for the AC? Does a car with AC have a double nipple on the intake?

Can't wait to hear that engine run.  :banana:  There's nothing better than hearing it fire and run for the first time validating all the hard work you put into it.  And what a great time to do it.  Talk about a great Christmas Present!  Make sure you video it and post it.  Good luck! :twothumbsup:

I wanted to share some information in case someone wanted to put a shaker on a AC car.  You may already know but i will share for the ones that dont.
I was concerned where to put the cable for the shaker vents. @Cuda Cody gave me a idea where the cable goes on a non Ac car. SO I took it from there . Since I didnt have the Shaker kit when  installed the heater box so I had to loosen the bolts just to be on the safe side. Shaker kit came from Tom.the cable works perfect where I installed it see picture

That is an interesting place to run the shaker cable . . . mine I believe comes through the firewall closer to the brake booster and runs behind the intake.  Sweet car and look forward to the big day of getting that running!   Very cool!

Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

If you don't already have the answer then yes a double nipple, one 3/8" & one 1/8"
