Indeed a huge milestone to get it running. :woohoo: Keep an eye on the AF and boost gauges.

Yep. Cautious will be an understatement.
It is running but not drivable. No boost yet. EFI next then plumbing for cold side.

Seems to only want to fireup every once and awhile. Still feels like a grounding issue.
Will be checking deeper and also starting to rewire properly.

Figured out the occasional start issue. As we all know, there are 2 circuits for start and run. My old switch must have been sloppy enough for the wiring to be powered at same time long enough for it to start.
New switch did its job and separated the power.
Occasional starts were only when the heavens collided properly with spark and rotation.
Right now is a simple hotwire bypass but will address properly with the other pending improvements.
Now to focus on cam signal for the MS.

Pictoral updates are minimal as most is wiring. Stripped out most all the add on wiring I previously installed as it was too convoluted.
Rewiring again simpler with a fuse and relay block under dash.
Tapped into the brown and blue column wires for ignition. It will power 3 relays. One each for ECU, coils, injectors and fuel pump.
Tapped into black column wire that will eventually handle all accessory powering.
De-pinned unused wires from EFI harness.
Loosened top of dash and pulled defroster ducting.
Mounted Vintage Air unit to assess available real-estate.
When working alone I called on "Jack" to help align screw holes when reattaching it.

I don't actually mind wiring once you get your mind into the zone. Good job as always. Can hardly wait for the first drive I bet.
