Friday evening I found out I had bronchitis, which left be unable to do any significant work on the car. Anyway, the largest item I tackled this weekend was re-routing the engine harness. My first attempt at this, I had routed the primary trunk of the harness in front of the ABS pump, before pushing it through the firewall. There are two issues with this. The first being that it’s unsightly with the harness weaving around that pump like that. The second is that the harness would’ve been passing right over the exhaust manifolds. No thank you.
Instead of trying to fish the harness back out of the firewall, I decided to unhook everything from the engine and just work in the engine bay. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and after about 20 minutes of work, I had the harness routed in a very neat path along the firewall and behind the ABS pump. It’s barely even visible when looking in the engine bay.
Besides that I was able to mount the clutch bleeder valve, install a few heat shields, tighten down the bolts that I left loose while positioning the engine and start work on installing the radiator and fans.
The radiator went in easily, but the fans are requiring a few modifications. Nothing major, so I should be able to get that completed one night this week.
