Passengers side mocked up and one wire made.
Making the wires is pretty easy with a little dawn dish soap and the MSD crimp/stripping tool once you get the hang of it. Test the resistance after each wire to be sure of your work. I'll bang out the other 3 tonight after work and then i think we're ready for a test fire before the fenders go back on.
Also ordered some -6AN nylon line, and fittings that im going to try to make work for the PCV system. Those should be here saturday.

Did yardwork all weekend so havent finished the valve covers yet. I need to grab a 1/4" NPT tap tomorrow and drill and tap the valve covers and I should be all set.
Also took the car for a drive around the neighborhood to make sure all was good before i put the fenders back on. Good to go!

Got my coil relocation wrapped up. Only part I had trouble with was the front inside part that connects to the bumper. Wasn't sure how that unclipped and didn't want to break them so I kind of just worked around the fenders.
Now I just have to figure out was valve covers to run.

My Holley black valve cover (left side) and MAMo MSD. The left side bracket supplied had to be cut up and slotted to get it to clear the alternator. On the PCV valves, each cover has a 1/8" NPT. I used a brass 90* 1/8" NPT to 3/8" hose and got two small PCV valves that I spliced into the OEM plastic hard lines.

Done!
Drilled and tapped the valve covers. 1/4" NPT to 6AN. Also ceramic coated them for ***** and giggles.
An example of one of the vac lines. Nylon braided with 90 degree hose end.
Redid both dry sump lines in -6AN
The finished product. Injector harness loomed and clean. Super happy with how this all turned out, for not a ton of money invested.
