The Volvo power electric power steering pump uses an AC 3 phase brushless motor. The 3 phases are electronically generated by the internal electronics drivers from 12V DC.

Got a pair of Jegs 15x8 4.5" setback JEGS Sport Star wheels for the front to match the back ones. They don't make a 4" setback and the 4.5" ones rubs against the brake caliper. So I machined a pair of spacers I had laying around to a .300 spacer and hubcentric.

Get the seat back bar welded in and installed a carpet kit.
While I was at it, I made cupholders out of extra exhaust flanges I had laying around.
I'm gonna have to get some extra carpet to line the storage spaces behind the seats.
Seat back bar from the rear widow.

That's not as bad as measuring current and forgetting to move the leads back the next time you measure voltage.

I've really enjoyed your build thread. I thought I recognized your user name, then you mentioned TD's and I remembered. Thought you might want to know I'm still using the 413 torque converter I got from you (one helluva a deal you gave me). Anyway, picked up an 1980 L48/auto and thinking about giving it a little boost. Not as extreme as yours, I'll use yours for inspiration.

Lucky I had him build the billet converter for my vette before he closed.

Since the car has no gauges, I'm re-purposing the gauge cluster. Switches include Line Lock, Scramble, Inverter Power, USB charger power, Power steering override, dome light, headlight override and some more.

Today, the car moved under it's own power for the first time in 20 years!!!!
First drive was to my friends Chris's shop, Autoworks.

Sounded pretty good, the turbo really quiets things down. First comment I got was that it sounded like my BMW (also a turbo car).
I took a video of the car's first move, but it sucked. I don't have any video skills. I will take a video once the car is on the road for good.

I can see you already out the door on your way to the JY. LOL
Once you get the power and fan wired in, you can test the module and your fan easily before you hook it to the holley. Just scratch the pwm input wire to ground a few times. The fan should soft start to some speed and shut off.
