Lookin' good dude! No one realizes how fukn hard it is to hold the camera and shoot vids. Man, I'd forget what I was gonna say and had to do several takes for some of them. Or I'd watch the vid and have to reshoot cuz I forgot to point something out. Tell the brother in law to take that gayass windshield off his HD.

Getting down to the last of the wiring. I'm waiting on wiring consumables to finish up. I might order up another pressure transducer or 2 since I have some extra inputs now. It would be a good idea to check and see where the pressure is in the transmission cooler circuit and maybe line pressure. Hopefully, I wired all this shit right and don't burn the car down :rofl:
Taking a couple of days away from it will help me decide how I want to finish up wiring.

Jeremy, I don't know know how you handle all that wiring. I can barely put batteries in a flash light.

Still cleaning things up. I left everything long enough that I could pull it out of the glovebox and service it. I'm really liking the Deutsch connectors.

Jeremy, will you have any issues with law enforcement with the mods. I had run ins with the Ministry of Transport up here. It wasn't pretty.

I was not familiar with those.  Those look very nice and I could have used them on the mopar.  Been neater than trailer connectors anyway

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

So far they seem pretty slick. I'm using a cheap crimper and connector kit from amazon. The only thing I don't like is I have to grab another set of crimpers to crimp the jacket, but that's not a big deal. They come apart easily so I think they'll work nicely if I need to add/move/remove stuff around in the future. They are definitely bulkier than a weather/metri pack - but the ease of servicing is worth it.

the weatherpak is a pain in the neck.

These connectors appear to be cheap in cost but the crimpers run them up if using a limited volume.

The crimper I bought is around $30 and then the $17 metripack crimpers for the jacket. 
Now I’m not going to crimp solid contacts but the stamped ones work fine for my junk.

Deutsch connectors are pretty much my life. The closed contacts are very very close to MIL spec.I pretty much eliminated failures by switching my client to them. Less fond of the open contacts, but understand the price attraction.
