Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue

I got a few small things done this weekend.

I got the LS harness through the transmission tunnel which was a challenge but I got it done.

My carpet showed up, but was for a low tunnel as I suspected it would be so I have to return that and get the right one.

I also set the wiring fuse panel and wired up most of the main power in the engine bay. I used bolts to attach to the firewall instead of the supplied fasteners (basically wood screws) for a more solid attachment.

I also got the hydroboost and lines mocked up. I have a couple of the lines at NAPA right now to be modified to work. I made a new backing plate to attach the hydroboost to the firewall. I cut the clevis off the hydroboost pushrod and cut the OEM pushrod off at the threads and it should give me a good adjustment range. I've seen guys thread one pushrod or the other, but it was a lot easier to just cut the ends off both pushrods and weld the two together.
