Are you using the 6.4L a/c compressor with that vintage air kit?

Also what modifications have you made to the gas tank for the EFI?

The 6.4L compressor came with the engine and we are using it. We have the fittings , but have not plumbed the lines yet. I ordered all the vintage air stuff specifically for the 6.4 conversion.

The gas tank is from Modern Muscle and is a stock tank that has been modified with a Walbro in tank pump. There is a fuel filter/regulator mounted in the old shock tower brace. So ...2 lines from the tank to one end of the filter (one pressure and one return) and then one line from the other end of the filter all the way up to the engine fuel rail.

Any new updates on your car? Pics?

Nothing right now. My builder has been busy and hasn't touched it in a while. He says he's close to startup and finish, but has been busy with work and hasn't been able to work on it. I'm ready for its return to go on to the next step which involves "paint prison"

I'm sorry. I don't mean to laugh but that was funny.

Time for a small update. Seems some work is happening again after a long siesta. Finishing up a few items and getting it ready to start. Here are a few pics I got this week. Oil filter relocation and some brake and fuel lines finished up.

Looks great!
What brand exhaust system you have or is it custom built for RMS rear suspension?

[Lotsapins]

It is TTI Headers and Exhaust system. It works with the RMS suspension and the NAG1 auto.

Thanks for the info.

Well after a long while , it seems that the car is making progress. It's alive. This motor hasn't been started for close to 2 years and it started right up. So now it runs which means I will get it back real son.. A few weeks or so. Has a few loose ends to button up and home she goes.
 Here's a very short vid of the startup.

[Gumby]

Very nice work! I bet you are PUMPED about getting her back!

It's still in progress. I haven't given up yet. This was great news to hear it was close to starting. That was a big leap in the whole process. He called to
tell me he was trying to start it. First it wouldn't crank. Figured out the trans and the shifter have to be just right or it shuts out the computer. Got that adjusted and then it would crank, but not start. Getting gas and everything but spark. Turns out it needed a different crank sensor to be compatible with the modified computer and harness. Got the right one and it started up first crank.  . I should be getting the call to make arrangements for its pickup and return home any time now. I will get some better pics and post them.
