As a bit of a break from wiring, I fitted the front shocks on Saturday. The powder coat had filled the bolt holes so after a quick run through with a thread chaser I fitted them both with new hardware. With that done I made a bracket to hold the PCM in place behind the clock using some aluminium strip my mate John had given me. With it in place I made a longer bracket for the AC box to mount on the bottom of the dash and while I had the jigsaw out I cut the centre trim to fit the radio.I was concerned I’d get everything in and clear the wiper drive, so I fitred the pipework for the Vintage Air kit. Unsurprisingly it hit, and after a bit of messing about I called it quits for the day and to have a think.

With a fresh set of eyes on Sunday I realised I could run the vent tubes over the top of the PCM but would struggle to get the glovebox and the stereo With the stereo from the Camaro squeezed in I found that it hit the wiper drive. The tubing was pushing it up, so I squeezed it oval with a tie wrap and tried again. This time it fitted and with a bit of moving about and so did the glove box. Back on to the wiring then, and I went through the PCM loom and capped off or removed any un-needed wires. I extended some of the wiring so that I could fit the new fuseboard and then taped it all up into a much neater looking run. It”s ready to connect in pernamently now, so I’ll strip and tin all the wires ready to do it.
