Eagle_Adam Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 The KC panels came out great!! And since those were done and installed I figured the rest of the interior needed to go back in now :D But first..... Needed to address the rusty pass side floor board -.- Since I don't have the time, funds, or welder to properly fix them I just laid down some "rust killing" stuff I had Tomorrow i will get to see what it looks like dried, finger crossed ;) 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 While that ^^^ dried, I was able to wrap up the engine bay! All the exposed wiring harnesses have been cleaned and re-wrapped with fresh electrical tape All the plumbing for fluids is done All wiring reinstalled and hooked up The engine bay is done now!! Should be able to get the first test fire in tomorrow :D 1 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 But this time it's looking like the new place will be nothing but upgrades all around !!!! Going from a 2 bedroom apt w/ 1car garage to this!!!! The 2 car garage is a nice size with lots of storage and I get it all to myself :D (till Jessi moves in but I'm happy to share it with her) 7 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 nice upgrade dude. it's always nice having the storage off the floor in the garage so you have more space for cars 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Why the ZX knob? In AZ the sun eats up all the stock plastic knobs. Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Nice new space Adam, enjoying the progress on the truck as well. Can't wait to see the garage all set up! Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Well somehow I managed to fry the engine bay wiring harness.... I went to fire it up for the first time and watched smoke go from the battery to the fire wall..... So I went for a long drive to pick up a new harness, wrapped it all up, installed it, and pushed the truck outside for the first time in a long time ready for another test fire tomorrow when it's not 3am (the truck is open header till I can get it to an exhaust shop) I was so pissed I only got this pic tonight 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Almost forgot, I got the underside of the hood blacked out too Hopefully tomorrow's test fire is less eventful than today's was -.- 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sucks about the harness man.. you'll get it squared away. Everything else is looking good though 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 If only there was a way to put the smoke back in the wires :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I just blew my own smoke into the new harness and called it good ;) 2 Quote Link to comment
snapp_hunter Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 and thats why ive been at a virtual standstill with my project. wiring scares the shit outta me. if I get it wrong the truck is toast. and the P.O. changed some stuff with the factory ign system so I'm almost afraid to proceed.

Eagle_Adam Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Well shit...... Truck still doesn't wanna fire, after talking with Mike I'm gunna investigate the inhibitor switch on the trans tomorrow with new info :) But just incase someone else sees something I don't.... The "problem area" It's a small harness that clips to the transmission and goes forwards just above the starter past the dip stick then towards the frame just to the rear of the engine mount. It also holds the start signal wire for the starter and the oil pressure sender wire. At or near the frame it plugs into the engine main harness. My problem is the math My connector for the trans harness to the engine bay harness is a 6pin 1 - oil pressure 1 - starter solonoid 2 - kickdown switch on the trans 2 - neutral switch on the trans That ^^^ makes up all 6 but there's supposed to be 4 wires going to the neutral switch not 2(per mike 2 for fever lights and 2 for identifying when the teams is in park or neutral to allow it to fire).... I'm missing 2 wires..... Wtf... Talked to teddy and Jessi and between the two of em could not find a 79 with 6 pin connector like this one, they were all 8pin. Which makes sense and would tell me where my two missing wires are/went -.- I know this truck was running with an auto in it damnit.... Thought? 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Is your plug the round 6 wire? Reverse light wires are not necessary to start and run engine. Quote Link to comment
