That's a pretty cool work space you developed Mr Floored. I would love to have something like that.
Not sure how much I would be willing to work outdoors in the dead of winter way up there. But if ya had to do some repairs... your setup would get you out of the wind.
Well done sir...

I adapted a harness from a 2.3 liter car. Not ideal. If you have a harness from a 2.8 let me know and we'll figure out a cost to get it to me if this one doesnt work. I'm going to be trying to start the car this weekend so will have a better idea of needs after.
Thanks!
Thanks!

the parts car was also a 2.3 that i stripped down for some parts for the 78 we built many years ago. ... so i am guessing we have all the same plugs and stuff... if there are plugs you missing let me know I am sure we can make things work ...
