Went to the store and picked up a bunch of threaded fittings. I should have some -6 PTFE coming in today so I can get my transmission cooler rear mounted. I need to go back to the hardware store and pick up some aluminum stock to build brackets for both the trans cooler and Motion Raceworks ethanol sensor.

I put in all my pigtails on my IGN-1A coils and found out one coil is too close to the plenum. D1CKED OVER AGAIN by the twin plenum. I'll probably lower the coil and drill a new hole. Super happy I'll be drilling into the fresh powder coat...

Put the alternator back on. I was able to hit the heat shielding in a bit with a hammer and then had just enough room to hang the alternator. It's so damn tight in there I needed to remove the waste gate, although I tried not to. The bottom bolt lines directly up with the waste gate.

At this point, it appears almost everything has interference when I want to take things apart.... It's a big damn puzzle.

In other news, I ordered rolls of cable so that I can rear mount the battery and take care of other electrical. Guess what 1/0 gauge copper is? not cheap. lol.

Tinker Electronics 7" dash was ordered so that I can display any gauge I want. It eventually will be molded into the cubby.

Last thing I want to say. The shop is incredible hot. My entire shirt is wet from sweat, it's miserable with the humidity. Outside has been 90deg so it's like 100 with 75% humidity. Doesn't look like this week will be much better.
