^ :tup: > [@cougarspeed](#): > > Big things left > > - Wiring, wiring, wiring - **In progress** > - Seats/interior - **Once wiring is done** The good news is there is not much left…hobbs switch (bracket done 🙂 ), radiator fan, trans cooler fan, Tach, Boost/Temp/??? Gauge, OBDII, and main ECU power. One thing we do need to look at it that I forgot to mention is a fuseable link/main fuse. Right now there is a straight shot from the Battery to the Starter…that is how the car was previously wired. ---

Probably not but who knows. I have to pull the trans apart as I just realized I need to install the speedo gear in the tailshaft housing. Finish lining up the hood/fenders then install the aerocatch hood latch system. (that’s right it looks like a car again!) That is all I can think of for the “build” mechanically really. A lot of it depends on where Luke L and I get to on the wiring/gauges/interior this coming Friday. Lastly troubleshoot and fix any loose ends and finally tune the thing. ---

What do the powerglide guys usually do about that? My trans didn’t even have the stuff installed to hook up a cable to the speedo. ---

Weak. PCM won’t run on no signal? If I run the cable to a signal generator then I would need a digital speedo. very weak [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-1965-nova-ii-8-85-153-5-turbo-kit-fs/229642.md?page=29) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-1965-nova-ii-8-85-153-5-turbo-kit-fs/229642.md?page=31)
