Default On the road again

what started 3 years ago as a project to replace my Accel DFI with a Holley Dominator turned into a huge "while I'm at it" project. One was to
get cool air to the intake. Another was to get different headers on the car since I couldn't keep plug wires on it. Installing the Dominator probably would not have been too much trouble until I decided to go with a coil on plug setup. I lowered the radiator to get cool intake air. This was probably the hardest part of the whole project. Anyway, still have some tuning to do but the Dominator was surprisingly easy to get running.

A few pics:






The controller mounted behind the pass side dash


I had a lot more things to power and was looking for an alternative to lots of extra relays and in line fuses. The Ron Francis Black Box worked great for this. Its in the Jack box. I have a removable fake bottom so the box is still usable.


The Kooks headers have lots of clearance on all plugs and lined up nicely under the car. The do not have flanges so I opted for stainless bands
