Still working on the '36 Plymouth--plumbing and wiring!!!! With the EFI and all the electronics, this one is a really learning experience from the carb and distributor stuff!!! Just ordered the last of the fittings for the fuel system so I should get it finished up this weekend. The power steering pump for the hemi had a plastic reservoir attached to it that would have wound up in the middle of the left front fender so I had to make a fitting for the pump and change to a remote reservoir and make up all the hoses. Had to do a lot of learning along the way on this project, but I think I've become a convert to EFI because of it. Good power and good fuel economy in the same package!!! Who would have ever thunk that???

Hoping to get things ready to install the battery and start checking out circuits this weekend and hopefully get it fired up some time next week.

Looking forward to pics. of the finished product Dave.

The way my week is going the "Z" might get sidelined for a few days. Work schedule is backed up.

I had a real disappointment with the manifold set up I bought for mine. XV motorsports wasn't exactly up front about it. Come to find out there is a 50# loss of torque if you do not use any kind of boost to go along with it. Found that out when I did some research on programming it with the diablo tuner. I may put the stock manifold back on soon if I can get the fuel rail hooked up.
And second that on the pics.

Had to work most of the day today, but I found enough time to assemble the hinges & buff them a little.
