An injector harness? No.

I have the Ractronix FP Hotwire kit too.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

And He'll probably never get it if you don't finish your Jalopy first.

Patience grasshopper. :)

Ok, here's the lastest updates on the GN:
I finished putting AN fittings on the trans cooler lines - they are ready.

Removed chrome rear end cover, cleaned off the rust with steel wool and a wire wheel. I spray painted it with clear engine enamel to stop/slow the rust from coming back. Replaced rear end fluid with Lucas synthetic and 1 bottle GM posi additive.
But the DAY I finished servicing the diff - I see the aluminum Buick cover TB3 was selling and buy it. (Thanks man - FAST shipping, great communication!)

I decided to paint it similar to the "theme" of the motor, low gloss black with sanded aluminum ribs.

As received:


Painted (Before sanding/Dremel)


After sanding - done. Casting isn't the greatest - the rib width is screwey down by the bottom.


This is with the old cover on, I just finished the aluminum cover last night. I replaced the shocks too. I was told they were "newer", but remember this car has been sitting for ~6 years. They needed to be replaced.  This is as I was putting the gas tank back in. And if you need to remove tanks/etc on a regular basis. go buy a Harbor Freight transmission jack. It makes dropping the tank a breeze.

New Racetronix sender/hanger, fuel pump, and hot wire kit. (Not installed yet)


Installed:


Next up is rebuilding the rear brakes - I am replacing everything but the backing plates.

Same jack I've got Mark. One other nice thing about it is you can use it as an adjustable seat and move around on it to do things like the brakes you're going to do. Much better than squatting or resting on your knees. :rock:
