Still need to build plug wires, reinstall all of the gauge sensor wiring and tuck the stand alone harness up a bit more. But I'd call it progress for this hot Tuesday evening!

Engine wiring is squared away. Connected HP tuners for the first time today, powered up the truck. Flashed the 0411 pcm from the blazer tune to the tune I built for the truck.
Hopefully, we'll get it started this weekend.

Finally added an intake tube and air filter to the setup. Still have to build a support bracket, but itll be ducting cool air from the cowl hood.
Also, going to move the coils from the firewall, planning on building brackets so they'll hover above the valvecovers.

So... I've been at an impasse for quite a while on clean instrumentation.
I hate the look of aluminum dashes and hack job gauge layouts. They just ruin the clean look of the interior...
I'm also really really really bothered by the gauges hanging off the right side of my gauge bezel.
Spent some time searching through the options and found an insert from Classic Dash that replaces the factory cluster and bezel, allowing the use of aftermarket gauges with a clean install.
The only bummer is the $350 price tag after shipping.
I guess it's just a drop in the bucket compared to the $700 worth of autometer gauges I just ordered for the truck.

Updates updates updates...
Had some more time to mess with the truck. Hopefully going to get it started this weekend on the 24x setup!
Also did a 5/6 drop on the truck this week. I plan on ordering 2" drop shackles and making it a 5/8. But first I want to see what it looks like on a set of welds before going any lower.
The gauges are starting to trickle in. I hope to have them installed this weekend.

It's a regular pulse driven one. As I already installed the dakota digital converter along with a hall effect sensor in my TH400 to drive the factory speedo.
All I have to do is flip a switch on the converter to the 16k ppm and itll drive the autometer.
I did install one of the autometer gps units in a friends prostreet Volvo p1800 last weekend though, really neat piece.
