Hey Alex, good to see you're still around here. BTW, the TBI setup will find a new home in a 68 chevy.

Yeah Marc, he did good as always, and the harness is definitely a learning experience.

This build is awesome! The only thing holding me up from an LS swap on my 86 is selling my ATV for cash and finding a donor. Wish I could find a deal like you did!
