This is just me, but you're still at a point where it's still easy enough to just pull the harness out and fix anything that is too short or long.

Yeah I can simply fix it in there. I had no additional room to move those left or right before I taped up. The only fix would be to extend them.

I had the exact same issue with the tunnel grounds not lining up with the existing stud. I just put another bolt in and moved on.

 

[IDRVSLO]

Just moving along, got the clutch pedal in, then installed that tubing(forgot the car in the video was an auto). It was kind of a pain but I made it. The clutch pedal clears with no modifications. Hoping the wiring is good to go because I am putting it together like I am not taking it back apart.

You're gonna need some grip tape on that kick panel to keep people from damaging that beautiful kick plate lol

Problem solved!

But seriously, some grip tape will go on the floor in some places once it is all done.

Is the hose from the fuel tank to the filler neck supposed to be in the Stage 1 kit?

 

[Briann1177]

Yes.

 

[IDRVSLO]

Nothing really new to report, spent the weekend organizing, tearing down my wire harness table and getting the car in a position to finish the build from.

Just bolted her in last night, does the pump orientation look good?

 

[BaltimoreHokie]

I cant comment on the orientation, but that much green looks pretty cool.

You need to reorient the top of the pump 180 degrees to the bottom before installing the pump into the tank.

Great thanks, in regards to the position of the plug, what way will that face?

I am interested too so I can verify mine is installed properly because at this point my fuel gauge is not functioning properly.

I just bent my arm for less angle, idk if it will work correctly yet haha

 

[Lonny]

I think the float raises toward the passenger side.

Correct. Make sure the float doesn't catch the baffle in the tank otherwise it won't work. I should bend my float rod some more. It shows full for a very long time and then runs out quickly.

 

[IDRVSLO]

Flipped the pump and also trimmed that tab. I wanted to rotate the connector a bit more to go directly between bolts.

Make sure to ask them to include the oil dipstick tube and dipstick if you need one.
