I decided to not use a wiring kit as I work in electronics and felt qualified to do my own but also the car won't have many extra circuits. No A/C, no power windows or seats, no radio or stereo, no door or trunk poppers, not much of anything. I have already wired the headlamps, running/turn lamps, horns, stop switch, and rear lamps. I haven't installed the fuse panel yet (generic ten circuit type) and haven't done any starter/alternator/battery wiring yet, you know, the primary circuit stuff. It could probably all be done in a good two day weekend. After that, add all the fluids to the engine and transmission, finish up some small odds 'n ends and it will be ready to fire up! I haven't heard the engine running since I removed it from the last car it was in. At that time it had an old holly carburetor and edelbrock O4B manifold. I changed to a nice quadrajet (rebuilt by Danny Sarvis here on this site) and a real clean Troker manifold. Once I get the car running I plan to fabricate some wheel well headers and lakes style side pipes. Well, that's enough for now. I hope to be taking pictures along the way.

edit: I forgot about the vintage Mallory distributor that I added from a purchase off the internet. NO vacuum advance so I may have to do some fine tunning on the timing.

wow! sounds that its just the "fun" easier part left on your awsome -46, and don´t forget to take pictures for us intressed
