The Purple Camaro

Cleanly done electrical looks so good and yes it takes lots of time. When I was at the truck dealership I did lots of semi truck rewire jobs, we always quoted time and materials cuz you never knew how long it would be til you were done.
 
If you wanted to be extra old school you could skip the plastic zip ties use lacing cord to tie the bundles up with clove hitches.

We did that on my brothers 64 VW in the late 70's. The wiring was featured in a couple of magazines. No wires crossed or wrapped around another. Used bread ties to hold it together as we ran the cord. Found that adding a drop of clear nail polish at each "knot" helped to hold everything better.

Apparently I did bad flipping the fuel rail

It’s injected.

It’ll need driven and tuned. Have either a rocker or exhaust leak. Passenger (O2 side) so I’ll know real quick

It’s wired around the 2step and MSD-7AL2 at the moment. Once it’s tuned and sorted, I can delve into getting that stuff in
 
Things I found real quick, mostly that the fuel pressure isn't at 58, only seeing ~45psi. Leads me to believe the regulator isn't what it was marked for, may swap it to the truck and see what it reads.
Pump is a Walbro GSS340

Fuel gauge isn't doing anything now (new sender, car works)
Speedo is working, nice an smooth actually

Didn't romp on it, just cruised to the gas station and gave it a shot to make sure it was full
 
Got a pic. Sounds cool!

Not a great one, but it’s the only one I have on my phone. When I did my ‘73 I put a tie about every 6”. People either loved it or hated it. Whenever I decide it’s time to rewire my ‘69 I’m going to do it that way again. The “best” (read: industry standard) is a clove hitch with a square knot on top. If you decide to do it let me know, and I’ll give you some pointers for preventing slippage and breaking out small runs.

If you do it again there is wax coated lacing that locks up tight saving that last step.

Aircraft Spruce is where we got the tie cord back then. Used to walk into a store in So.Ca. I believe it was in Corona.

Edit. Just looked while this was loading. It is still there.
