I got a bunch more done tonight, I have to run the heater hoses, run the vacuum lines, and it should be ready to run. new o-rings on the injectors, fuel rails/ lines all tightened down, throttle body all bolted down and the wiring all done. ![http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2847/img3735l.jpg](http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2847/img3735l.jpg) ![http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/2426/img3734ep.jpg](http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/2426/img3734ep.jpg) and then I found out my spark plug wires are not long enough ![http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/145/img3732d.jpg](http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/145/img3732d.jpg) but that’s ok because this came in the mail today ![http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/6169/img3736rf.jpg](http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/6169/img3736rf.jpg) ---

It LIVES! got the car running tonight. I didn’t have the coolant hoses or the throttle cable hooked up so I couldn’t drive it. However it sounds real strong, the throttle response is ridiculous! Its so snappy. Ill tie up the loose ends tomorrow or the next day and hopefully get it out for a ride, no hood of course haha ---
