A little more work today. I have tail lights! I finished out the harness in the back and got the fuel sender hooked up, tail lights and brake lights, my tach is in and working, speedo is working, headlight switch mounted, wire run to where the tag lights will be, and the power is run to the dome light. I still have to run the ground side of the dome light. (the hard part)

The bummer for the day, though. I found out 12:1 compression and a high torque starter are particularly hard on a stock flex plate. I was fiddling with the throttle linkage then went to start it. With the extra fuel in the engine, the engine kicked back on the starter and knocked some teeth down on the flexplate.

I guess an S.F.I. unit will be in route next week.
