78 cvcc build thread

[klyph]

Yeah there's a mystery yellow wire on the engine harness that I need to figure out what it does...

Shit now I HAVE to go out there tonight.

 

[daveholiday]

sorry!

man im so glad i have a wiring genius to help me out when i get this far lol. good luck tonight!

 

[klyph]

Well, it turns out that in order to have spark you have to plug in the connectors on the distributor. Who knew?

Here's my high tech fuel pump switch

Rear mount Battery

Custom copper fuel line

I spared no expense on the inline filter and race-spec steel braided fuel line

Ninja mounted resistor box

So the wiring is finished

oh man i would strangle a nun to have one of them... but i got something a lil closer than the other guys, dont laugh... i got an 84 civic dx hatch a few months ago and i plan to pop a D in it and make some well needed ponies... and yes the sleeper status will be killer, but im gonna paint the bitch champ white pearl and put in some '91 Si seats and of course, a sound system is mandatory but nothing too ridiculous... when i start my swap ill post it up 4 you guys to see as i know you will find it interesting. i wanna see this 78 rockin D-series power so bad!
