    What system did you go with? With a tunable system you can add cold enrichment and timing to make that idle smooth when it is stone cold all the way to warmed up temp.

    Mine did the same thing until added a few more ground straps even grounded the intake.....not sure which it was but my car only does it now a brief minute when she is really cold. I used the Hotwire set up

    Its been a bit since I posted, Busy with other projects and all. I am in the process of changing the AEM to a Holley HP EFI ECU (long Story) , I am changing the intake for a new runner intake to keep the throttle body in the center so I can use a shaker baseplate without the air box and tubes I have now , which will lead to a less cluttered engine bay.Planning on having it back at the body shop in feb to finish the body ,. I still have interior, bleed the clutch , brakes and numerous things to finish. its been a long road on this one but hope to have it on the road this year. The pictures here are where I am at now.

    Ha.   The wiring.   That's where I'm at too!  A little overwhelmed.   Having second thoughts on the way I was going.  Hmmm I like what you did!!  Was considering something similar today.  Really helps to see those pictures!!  Thanx!   Nice build.  To me, Turning that key or hittn' the button on something like that is as close as man can come to giving birth!!!   WoW  ThanX for the inspiration !!    :worshippy    R/T

    Wiring...
    The most unpleasant,unappreciated, non-visual part of any build and that is absolutely necessary.
    My build is also currently buried under a mass of wire.

    Thanks for the update
