The major delay in me getting my interior complete has been the gauge wiring and the vent hoses. The gauges weren’t too difficult for the most part but at this time the tachometer and oil pressure gauges don’t work. I suspect the new oil pressure sender I installed is bad which would explain that problem. I’m really not sure why the tach doesn’t work though. As far as the dash vents go, I had a great plan but it didn’t work out. I have another plan that isn’t so great but it should work. Anyway, it seems a shame to not be able to drive my car due to those minor issues. So I’ve decided to install everything and get the car back on the road now. I can worry abut details later. I don’t need a tachometer and I don’t absolutely need an oil pressure gauge, though I want to fix that sooner rather than later. I need A/C but the A/C doesn’t work in there right now anyway so I can ignore that issue for a while too. So, over the last couple of days, after it gets dark so it’s only about 100 degrees out I have been making slow progress. I had wired the gauges directly for testing purposes but I have now installed connectors. One for each gauge pod. That will make removing and installing them so much easier. My wife put the foam on the lower dash last night and we will put the upholstery on it tonight pending time constraints. Yeah, my wife rocks.
Another hold up has been the tail lights. I mentioned previously I had decided to scrap the idea of using Lambo lights and put the stockers back on. Unfortunately I had cut up the tail light harness and misplaced the connectors. I found a couple of them and spliced them on but that isn’t going to cut it, so today I will be ordering a new (used) one. I can’t wait to be able to drive my baby again.
