Thanks Jim, just part of the build.
Now as all you Locoster's know, there comes a point in the build where one must have spaghetti.

And to compliment the spaghetti we have wiring fluid to wash it down.

This is part of the build I find most relaxing.
Studying wiring diagrams, ringing out the wiring harness, snipping unwanted wiring from the harness, cutting and soldering, shrink sleeves, WTF is this for?, relays, ground circuits, switches, ECM's, flashers, sensors, connectors, fuses, goats, knobs, bulbs, sockets, squirrel tooth marks on the wiring, solenoids, regulators, cables, filling up the trash can with excess wiring.....life is good
All for the love of building a car
And when it's all done we are just supposed to turn the key and it starts, easy peasy,

As a side note: not that I'm old, but I remember when you could put 12v to the coil and starter, put the fuel pump hose in a can of gas, turn the key, crank the engine over, and it runs ( then you use a dwell meter to set the points, that's fine tuning, and a tach to adjust the needles on the carb to get the idle just right). Ahhhh the good old days.
