    Wow Bryan, that turned out great!!!  :2thumbs: :ylsuper:

    I might have to look at mounting my pump in the shock tower frame as well. The wiring and everything is very clean and looks better than factory.  :2thumbs:

    Thanks Tom!

    I put in the forward lighting harness and found the right straps for everything. Now I just need to grab my Interstate black top battery and check everything out. I think I may have to change some wiring in some spots but getting really close!

    That is a very clean setup for sure.
    I mounted mine off that same area on the frame but used a bracket to lower it down level with fuel tank. Bracket idea was to also help isolate pump vibrations.

    Love your color choice.

    Well since I wasn't too happy with the dash light situation I might have gone a bit off the deep end in keeping with the theme of the car. Yep I found green LED's for the dash light and Wow! what a difference. The only downside I will tell you is that not all LED bulbs are made the same so I got 3 of the 4 received to work. The problem was that they barely fit through the opening in the frame so caveot emptor!

    Anyway, enjoy the pics... off to work on the Yellow Cuda now!

    Got the custom driveshaft made before I put her in for exhaust.

    I wonder if this will handle all the horsepower and torque???  :bigsmile:

    Your wall plug looks unsafe and not GFCI protected that close to the sink.

    And yes shaft looks like a beast...

    It might be GFCI protected. It is covered with cord and adapter so you can't tell from the pic.
    Or the GFCI could be at the breaker box.
    Of course if it's an older home, they didn't have them anyway.

    South Bay Driveline did mine and I wouldn't doubt that was where you went also.

    He even came out and inspected my yoke to match it up before making it since I was 100% sure which type it was.

    Steve does amazing work, top notch.

    Did one of my other cars and damn I cannot get any vibration at any speed on that one.

    Like butter.

    Well the driveshaft is in the car and it looks meaty!!! Should handle the power no problem.  :burnout:

    Also figured out a way to tighten up the 4 speed reverse linkage so there is less side to side movement.  :2thumbs:

    Pumped 4 quarts of ATF into the A833 and finally got rid of my pesky brake issue. Well a little too good as now I have to back off the prop valve for the rear as they will probably lockup way before the fronts.

    So when this nice heatwave subsides (tues) it looks like this baby will go into the muffler shop!!!

    I love the sound of progress. I remember going to the muffler shop to get my exhaust installed. I was like a kid on Christmas day.  :2thumbs:  :burnout:
