Continuing saga of the under-scuttle build-up:
Installed the “basket” over the transmission to hold the engine management cables, did a trial fit and then remembered that pass-thru holes and grommets were needed in its side panels for routing several cables.
So removed the panels and added the cutouts.

Laid out the ECU cable set and finalized the groupings. Most every wire is now a home run to the various endpoints, with lots of spare length to cram back into the basket (aka the Snakepit. ) I did not want to shorten/re-pin any cables. (Been there, screwed that up.) The fuel pump relay trigger wiring in the Power Distribution box was modified so the fuel pump can be killed by the inertial cutout switch.

Fiddling with the engine cabling got me started down the chassis wiring rabbit hole and a lot of desk time was spent revising my circuit planning. A side-branch of this rabbit hole was the gauge and switch wiring which led to a change of the oil pressure sensor and addition of a second coolant temperature sender for compatibility with the SpeedHut gauges.

While the intake was off a heat shield was added to its underside and the pcv outlet in the valley cover was shortened to clear steam vent plumbing.

The low, forward-mounted reverse-rotation Honda generator was installed along with the electric water pump. No other front accessories, so the hoodless view should be pretty clean.

The brake fluid reservoir was mounted and is waiting arrival of the right sized p-clips to finalize plumbing to the master cylinders. Then it’s finally time to check the hydraulic system for leaks.
