I have a Wegner kit arriving this week and plan to press in an A/N fitting as well.
Wasnt too bad. I had to put a small amount of heat on the water pump and then used a set of vise grips and a hammer to work it back and forth. I would just be careful with how much heat you put on it. I just used a propane bernzomatic.

For the heater core hoses when you pull the barbs the holes are already the correct size for 3/8" and 1/2" NPT taps.

You will be happy with the Wegner kit. It is very well put together. Just a heads up mine didn't come with the TTY crank bolt so you may want to pick up 1 or 2 of those. If you are replacing a current setup you can used the old bolt to seat the crank pulley, then use the new one to final torque. If its a long block and you are installing the first time you are going to want to pick up 2 of the crank bolts. One for the initial seat on the crank pulley (I think 240 Ft Lbs) and then one for final torque.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try the propane trick.

I have an ARP crank bolt that's suppose to be reusable, so hopefully it works out...

Yep. If you are using the ARP bolt you are good to go.

My conduit bending days paid off it seems...this is the rear line.



I will work on getting a full update going soon. I have been working on the wiring. The PSI harness is almost completely laid out. I basically stripped it down and started over to hide/tuck the wires. I will be finishing it up with techflex.

The main harness from AAW has also been almost completely laid out. I have it pulled back out to eliminate a lot of the things I don't need.

I have also been working with Orme Brothers. They are going to send me all of the AN fittings I need to do the car, let me mock up the hoses with cheap rubber hose and send back to them. They will then be doing all of them in Brown & Millers new crimped black hose and fittings. I have even worked with them on doing some custom colors on the crimp collar, so still working on that....




Also ordered my headers and fuel system so all of those pieces are en route as well...hope to hear this thing run in the next couple of months.

[QUOTE=lsuguy;647411]SO the PSI harness is very well made and is laid out very nice but I can't leave well enough alone. I will be hiding and re-routing just about every wire in the car so I went ahead and picked up some techflex to replace all of the plastic split loom. I will try to post pictures as I work through this part of the build but it will be a long, tedious process lol.

I have the same thoughts interested to so how and what you do here .. that plastic crap that comes on the PSI harness is pretty ugly
