1961 Uni Hauler

Down through the battery tray, under the battery, then hidden up under the two coolant hoses headed that way?

That's what I would do. 👍

I ran a longer charge line and zipped it to the + terminal cable.  Cannot see it until you see the + terminal line.

Reboot on the plug wires. I have to trim down my old plug wire combs too.

 

 

[Mattndew76]

Coil installed and now I need to connect the ECU to Distributor to coil.

Had a fan motor cover printed out for the uni.

Picked up my Grandfathers 1961 Valco 14 foot fishing boat. Gotta make some mods to the trailer, some dent repairs, new paint and she will be ready for the 61 Ford.

Looking good. 👍

 

Looks like we are using the same master cylinder. How did you plug the ports on the opposite side? 

 

[Mattndew76]

The ports were never drilled out on the engine side. If they were I would use a brass bolt style plug.

That same master was supplied with my Wilwood disc brake conversion kit, but both sides were drilled so can run your hoses either way. They supplied two plugs but they are kind of big/ugly. I was hoping you had found a cleaner way.  😋

Also, don't forget to flip up those wire clips that hold the lid on.  😋

Juicy mess.

 

I still have to bleed the system.

They make small Allen style brass studs that can work. Put some thread seal on the ends and flush seat them.

Well, I guess I got my answer after all.  😋

 

Thanks for the tip. 👍

 

Something along these lines would look much cooler...

That is the stuff!

[Mattndew76]

Figured out my marker light issue and fuel pump issue today. 
 

Both needed me to ground them… I thought I had already done it, but after looking. It was a glaring obvious that I hadn’t. After priming my fuel system to 60 psi. I got a healthy whiff of 92 in the air. My Vic fuel filter popped a seam. 

 

 

[Mattndew76]

Brakes got the bleed and the new filter is installed with no 92 leaking anywhere. 
 

started to finish up the bumper mounts but it got a little too cold in the shop. Tomorrow is the day to finish the mounts, fill the trans with ATF, and set my timing. 
 

excited!!

That's a great glamour shot.

the boy captured it for me.

I wish you were closer. I have a set of cop steelies that would be perfect for this...  😁

we’re in process of the next set of wheels. These are what we’re running with until that budget is financed. 
 

I love the interceptor steels too, but the Mrs. doesn’t.

I've been enjoying your build.  I've always liked those unibody trucks.

 

Anyway, excited for you to get it going, and great work on that! 

 

Have fun!

Managed to drive the pappy home and blow a fuse. Time to correct more wires.
