My Street 289 build

[Ivygreen65]

Got my inner fenders fabbed and fit to the car. Located and attached the voltage regulator, starter relay, etc. so I’m about ready to install the panels for the final time. Also got the high beam switch bracket and hood prop & clip constructed. Small steps, but steps nonetheless.

Nice work…. as usual, Stacey.
Still got Cobra parts / kitchen rights by the look of it

Cheers

Aaaaah, the joy of wiring.

Much easier without a body and engine in the way! I prefer wiring myself as I then know where everything is and can trace a problem back more easily. Nice job.

I agree with you on knowing where every thing is! I also, love to wire when it is raining or snowing out side, and you completely loose track of time! Whether it's a car, motorcycle, or WWII airplanes, there is something Zen about wiring! Of course, I could be a hopeless romantic when it comes to machinery! Cheers, Dennis

I have gotten the 289 long block assembled and now I’m mocking up all the parts and pieces. I didn’t realize things were so “cozy” at the front left of the engine. I found out that the Pertronix distributor won’t allow me to install the temp sender in it’s correct location. I’m afraid I’m going to have to use a thermostat housing that has the port for a sender, which I don’t want to do, but I can’t come up with another solution. Fuel line routing also looks like it’s going to be a treat.
