Moved the battery out from under the hood, to in the bed.
Nutserts all around.

Attached the fuel hoses to the engine tonight in the dark, with a flashlight
I’m using AN -6 compression fitting to join the pump hard lines to the fuel hose. Seemed the only logical way to make this work.
I have the stuff to silver solder a high pressure EFI end onto the fuel pump hard lines. But, why make more work when compression fittings make quick easy work of making old work with new?

I did the same for mine, has worked great.
First off, installed the footwell heater duct, then had to manufacture a bracket to hold on the defrost duct above the footwell.
Then started the Electrical side of this work. Battery and battery shutoff switch installed, now I need to route the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE cables over to the RH side of the bed, then, mount the pass-throughs.
Then finished the fuel line, and filter
Install. I still need to secure the hoses to the frame, but, it’s in and waiting till I get a free hour of two.

I routed the Battery cables from the pass-throughs up to the bus-bars under the hood.
I finally got the steering wheel installed.
Thanks Issaam(Imiceman44) it’s a great steering wheel.

We have power(RED), Key-On Power(YELLOW) and ground(BLACK), in the cab. Drilled a 2” hole through the firewall, built my “feed” harness, and stuck it in.
I also routed and secured fuel hoses and Battery cables to the frame.

Did you deburr that hole, and gonna use a gromet of some type?
Yep, my go to is get a length of 5/16 or 3/8 fuel hose, slit lengthwise, long enough to completely fit the inside diameter of the hole, apply a little bit of RTV.
That is usually sufficient to stop all chaffing of wires against metal edges.
After the entire harness is installed, go back with a caulk gun with a tube of black RTV, and totally seal the hole with black RTV.
The fuse block harness is not installed yet, with it in there also . The fuse block harness will almost completely fill up that hole, by itself

I finished the wiring for the fuel system. Added my chaffe protection around the hole for the wiring.
Got all pieces for the triple-stick painted so I can get them installed.
ORD for da win!
Got the triple stick shifter installed. Super nice fit. The destructions are kind of vague, and there are parts that are not explained very well. But, I got it.

Let the electrical games begin…
New harness, I had to read the destructions from back to front before I got started. Then, after finding a bunch of the wires needing to be deleted, plus, finding several of the wires miss-routed on the harness itself. I elected to just cut away all the tape holding it together.

Held the fuse-block up to the firewall to get the measurements for the bolt holes.
Drilled to 3/8ths to install a couple of 1/4x20 rivnuts. Fuse-block is now bolted up.
Separating the different wire bundles, gauge panel, external lights front and rear, wiper, washer, horn, dash panel and interior lights, and accessories.

Re-tapped all the bolt holes for the transmission tunnel cover.
Then applied a bit of sealant, and bolted her down.

Mounted up the OBDII port after crimping and heat shrinking the correct connections.
