I drilled out the holes for the Vintage Air box and bolted it in place. With that in I could see how much space I had left to put the LT1’s computer, the alarm and the relay and fuse boards. It’s going to be a tight squeeze in there if I want to put anything else in. After a lot of moving round the only place I could find to put the computer that would leave enough room for the loom to connect to it was behind the clock on the passenger side of the dash. I need to make a bracket to hold it in place which I can tie into the Vintage Air box. With that done I did a bit of tidying up, cleaned up the master cylinder and gave it a coat of black paint. I called it quits out the garage, and went indoors to wire up the rear light clusters.<\/p>\n

It needed a few changes from the new American Autowire loom so that I had yellow indicators rather than flashing the brakes. With them both done and some plugs put on the end I packed in for the night. On Sunday I fitted the lights as best I could, one side fits like a glove and one is miles out. Not much I can do about it now short of re-doing the back end, so it’ll be like that for now. I also put the emblem on the boot to see what it all looked like and was chuffed to bits. I ran the rear body harness and connected it up to test them all and they look great. I also put the master cylinder on out of the way and cleaned up and repaired the boot lock and handbrake mechanism. All coming along nicely. <\/p>\n
