Default View under the dash.

I figured I would share this because I know how difficult it is to find info, details, specs etc. on these cars. I am swapping out my dash for a carbon fiber one and newer backlit LED gauges and indicator lights. Here is what it looks like under your dash. Wires come marked as to connection. Might help someone some day.

Fred are you going to mount the Vintage Air controls in the dash?

spent a ton of time cleaning up the wiring on this build... the relays shown are for Megasquirt EFI, ran a dedicated 10AWG wire to the battery - terminal to eliminate chassis noise issues for sensitive electronics...

I am up in the air with that. I have seen them mounted on the dash and it looks neater. I will probably look at doing that. Got all the steering parts today minus the lower ujoint. That will here next week. Those Woodward people were very helpful on the phone. They pretty much told me they can put together any two different ends on ujoint. Going to test the steering out and decide on the heim joint stabilizer. Thanks for the help.

Fred

Default Came out great

All done except for a few minor details and the mounting of the Heater controls. I would like to find a red anodized ignition key switch bezel to match the rest of the controls. LED backlit autometer gt gauges are sharp. The LED idiot lights are a nice touch. Bright. Now on to the steering upgrade.

Default Key Bezel

Thanks. Looking for a red anodized to replace the cheap chrome plastic bezel for the key.

Eddie Marine sells them in various colors.

Not a threaded item though. To do it correctly you'd have to change the switch as well I think.
