Many things happened today, all threads will be updated.
So I got my steering column in the car finally, after like a year. I HATE steering columns at this point, I could disassemble and reassemble one with my eyes closed now. I got the column most of the way together, then realized I forgot a part, repeat that about 5 times and then you finally have success. Also doesn't help that I was missing a few parts, took them from another column and then at the end of the night I was cleaning up old parts and I found the parts I was missing
No pictures of that, it's a steering column.
So I also got the braided loom and covered up the fuel injector wires and the wires to the throttle body etc.
What wires? At least in the front now. I also covered up some of the other stuff in the back. I would cover that huge mass of wires, but nothing I have will fit over it. I may undo the zip ties and cover parts individually and tie them all together to make it look a little better.
I also got the gauge cluster all wired and in the car, I just have to wire in the fuel level sender, I don't want to cut the factory harness since I am going to be replacing it with an AAW harness and I am hoping I may be able to sell the factory harness since it is in pretty good shape still. I am pretty stoked to have a fully functional dash!
And finally for S&G's I had the car move under its own power since the swap!
It was only about an inch forward and back, but it seemed good.
Tomorrow is trimming the Borgeson steering shaft to fit in place of the stock one. I got the collapsible shaft and the ball bearing U joints. Still tons of little stuff to do, I hope to get a bunch done tomorrow.
