With the coil harnesses done it was time to move on to the engine harness. So first up was to work on the harness from the ECU to the firewall mil-spec connector. Once the wires were run, I metered the wires end to end to verify the pin outs on both ends.

With the sub harness done it was now time for the engine harness.

While working on the engine harness I wanted to power the system for the first time to verify the display was operational.

The inputs from inside the car were tied into the ecu via a MAD Racing distribution block.

Back to finishing up the engine harness...

With the wiring pretty much done, it was time to install the transmission and converter. I had concerns over the converter pilot length given this car has an additional 1/8" block plate along with the 1/4" midplate. And sure enough, the pilot is too short as are the block bellhousing dowels. So while the trans was still in the car I wanted to weigh the car before removing it to resolve the two trans issues.

Weight as it sat on the scales, no driver.

I also weighed and accounted for all the parts not bolted to the car yet.

and a quick weigh with driver...

So in the end the car should be right at 2640 lbs with driver, race ready.
