Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

Put the final touches on the power steering mount with steel-it. Added some blue loctite on the bolts to the PS pump and then added red loctite to the bolts under the car, don't want to drop the PS due to vibrations. Didn't get any pictures under the car while doing the final install.... OH, one cool thing that I added was nylon spacers that slipped over the bolt. I wanted a bot more surface area w/ vibration dampening. The small details add up!

Steam vents and return line need to be setup differently because the lower plenum's belly sits really close to the valley pan. After installing the plenum, I noticed that the plenum was missing a plug on the bottom of the lower plenum.... Might need to take the plenum back off. oh well. About 90% of the wiring is in the right place now and plugged in.

I'm going to run the MS3 wiring and ECU until 2026. All the wiring will get re-done into bulk head milspec connectors, ECU changed to Fuel Tech, and all the OEM wiring ripped out for a solid state PDM. This will remove all the gangle of the dangle with wires. BUT!!! I'm not going to let perfection get in the way of good enough right now. I don't like half measures, but the MS3 wiring harness is really damn good.

I'll take off the plenum and get the plug in, fuel rails, and injectors in over the next couple days. The return line will need a different route so ill need to check in to some Earls fittings. The steam vent lines will dump into the 417 motorsports manifold, I'll show you that later.
