Thanks mang! I'm glad I kept at it too! There is light at the end of the tunnel!



Sooo... I had to drop the steering column again from the dash mount so I could bolt the brake rod to the brake pedal under the dash. No way you can do it without lowering the column about an inch. While under there... I noticed a slot where the column brace and the dash come together. I was able to sneak the pigtail for the wire harness from the top of the column through that slot. I was able then able to connect it with the supplied adapter from Ididit (made by AAW) to the factory harness. I didn't have to make a longer adapter after all.
