That coil wire is way too long. The whole panel is mounted so you can conveniently work on it at the track while you stand on your head. Duh

Alan,

I like the fuel pump mounting plate but I was always told you need to mount those Holley style pumps lower than the tank . I may be wrong or the picture may be misleading you may have enough fall there.

Holley's instruction sheet says

Mounting and INSTALLATION:
The best location for mounting any electric fuel pump is the rear of the vehicle. The inlet and outlet of the pump must be mounted below the lowest point of the tank. This is necessary to allow for an adequate fuel supply. The pump is designed to push fuel and not designed to suck fuel out of the tank. It needs to be gravity-fed or if it’s pulling from the top of the tank, it needs to develop a siphon feed to the pump. The pump should be mounted on the chassis, in a vertical position with the pump motor on top


Also being in FRONT of the pick up the fuel may need to overcome the launch G's, remember it's gravity fed basically

Small point of interest Al - While working on the car this weekend I took the hood ornaments/louvers out of our car for some touch-up and found they weigh 4lbs apiece...like two bricks of lead sitting up there lol! I am seriously looking for some substitutes atm.

Almost reason enough to buy a 3D copier. Can't believe I suggested that.

Al, I don't know if you're planning to continue running the 327, but I believe that the hood louvers are correct only on Nova SS models, which came with a 350 or 396 only. With the crackdown on cowl hoods on 350/255 equipped '69 Camaros as an example, running the hood louvers may or may not create a future issue for you. (I realize that they are decorative only and not functional)

Nice car BTW!

Two allen screws and you can have the whole thing in your lap to work on while you sit in the passenger seat. Surprised you missed that feature......

Congratulations????? -Al
