Definite pita!!!!!

Thanks Chip, Hope the show was better then the weather.....

 

Made some progress today..... Got the injector and coil wiring done on the driver side of the engine..... Also got the head grounds all routed and connected and all wires routed up the pass side of the engine, I should be able to get all them hooked up in the morning.....

Today's progress.....

 

I got the pass side coils and injectors all wired up today.....





Just need to get these wires hook up..... They are for starter relay, injector + relay, coil + relay and water meth controller.....



and these..... This is front harness stuff, ethanol sensor, cts, water pump and fan controller.....

 

Making progress Frank ! Won't be long now !

Yes sir..... Everybody been saying it won't be long for a long damn time!!!!!

 

MMM ...Spaghetti. Lookin good Frank!!!...The details always take the most time...Along with wireing...Welding...fabrication...paint...Wont be long now!! Sorry had to say it.

 

Hi Frank:
The show was OK .. we drove through the rain to get there on time (7:00 am) and when we got there they stopped us at the registration point because the GROUNDS were not ready yet . ( Water had flooded some large areas and there were not enough spaces for all the cars ) .. Then when we finally DID start moving in , our usual spot for the
Mavericks and Comets which we've occupied for the last 10 years or so was ' SAVED ' for the Cougars.. It was their
50th Anniversary .. They parked us UNDER a huge Oak Tree dripping brown spots all over the cars until we bitched enough to the officials . They then allowed us to pull up to the road .. Next to where we usually park and we lined up
there . The show was not filled to capacity I'm sure since it did RAIN and it was COLD all day long .. getting colder as
the day went on .. when it was over we headed back to Deland stopping at the Black Water Inn and had a nice dinner
with HOT coffee . Nice Day all around ! I try to make it every year . Missed you Frank . Hope I see you at the next
NPD !!

I knew the weather couldn't have been great, but atleast everyone still had a decent time..... Sucks about the spot change too..... I would like to go next year, I had a good time the last time I went.....

 

Over the weekend I got the starter relay, injector + relay, coil + relay and snow water/meth controller all mounted and wired.....

Progress pic's.....

 

Yesterday I decided to check the axle engagement in the rear end, for some reason I thought the right side axle was only engaged about 1/2"..... I was wrong it is engaged about 1.25" so no problems there..... I guess I must have bee thinking about the old rear that was in the car..... I need to change the pass side rotor and pads due to it being grooved up, that black coating Wilwood uses can be a pain when breaking the pads in..... I get a rotor on it's was and put the pass side back together next weekend.....

Today I started back on the wiring, I found out I had the wrong input wire for the transbrake rev limiter..... I got that swapped around, I also found out I need to have the limiter activation on the button side of the relay and not the brake solenoid side..... So I pulled the cluster and pulled the pins on the relay(I need a couple more pins for the relay so I can put it back together..... Then I got the wiring all routed and hooked up through the CTS and Methanol sensor, I will continue working my way forward next weekend.....

Here's where the rear end stands.....





and here's what the wiring is looking like so far.....

 

This weekend I got the rear brake all back together and wheels back on..... I also got the changes necessary under dash made and put everything back together there..... I routed the alt wire and hooked it up, made a block to chassis ground and installed it..... I finish routing the power feed for the front relays and fan controller, I also mounted all components and started hooking up wires.....

Really ' Clean , Un-Cluttered placements ' Frank .. These type of details really ' stand out ' when accomplished.
We've tried to maintain that method also on our builds. Like the hoses and hard lines positions and the ' routings' for them Your Comet is definitely a ' Stand Out ' Vehicle for sure and it doesn't look like you're too far away from firing that ' puppy ' up and driving it out of the garage. Kudos' Frank !

Thanks Chip..... It is pretty close to running now.....

 

Got all the wiring done and tested, with the only exception being I need to put the connectors on the fan and electric water pump before I install the radiator..... There is a good chance this thing run next weekend, or at least an attempt will be made to make it run.....

This weekends progress.....
