So I crossed a few more things off my list this morning. I installed a new ignition cylinder on the new steering column, ran the engine harness up thru dash and into the glove box area and I also installed the steering column! I also tried bolting up the TC to the flywheel but my flywheel is not going to work. My previous Circled converter was a 80e with 60e mounting holes. So now I'm gonna have to buy a 80e flywheel. No biggie just have to drop the damn trans!! haha. I also removed the factory tbi computer while I was in there.

Just a few more things and it should be running. Im down to the last few wires and also building a gauge cluster that will bolt to the factory location. I already cut all the parts out and now just need to weld it together. Its going to hold the water temp, oil pressure, trans temp, fuel level, boost, wideband, speed and tach. Here's where im at with that.
