1982 GS! - Its Getting Close!!!

Tonight was pretty productive as well. I elected to remove the HVAC out of the car. Which was easily up until the heater core. That thing is a pain. This allow for a ton of space under the dash. I then assembled the Aux port sleeves with the Pineapple racing inserts.

The owner of the Marathon i have been doing this work at has some nifty tools, so just to see how the sleeve lined up inside i used this cool video camera with an LED on the end of it thing. I was surprised by how much the casting of the iron when passed the opening of the sleeve.

Next i mounted the CDI box on the back side of the glove box. There is plenty of room under there now for wiring and to give the box some air flow. Plus there is no chance of rain getting to it. Im trying to keep the engine bay clean. I also mounted the Megasquirt in place of the little pocket under the radio. Going to be running all the wires out of the one of the former heater core holes in the firewall.

Next up, i finally wanted to install the leading coils somewhere. Figured out that the side of the radiator would be the best place to do so. The things are pretty big so there were not too many options that looked good. Ended up making a bracket. Pictures will explain the rest.
