Signs of life!

Lots of lessons learned today. I forgot that I had bought a one wire alternator (two years ago). The one wire alternator will not support the charge warning light, so I can remove two wires from my harness. I'll save them for later should I choose to change alternators. Second lesson, ground your fusebox if you want relays to work, LOL. In retrospect, my wiring pretty much all worked first time, which was a pleasant surprise.

The dash is finally installed! Doing this enabled me to start testing all the electrical circuits, lights, blower, wipers, etc.
I knew immediately when the taillights came on, as the red glow was visible on the wall.
The parking lights look bright enough to be daytime-running-lights!
Best of all, the EFI system booted up and reported ready. In actuality, I still have to install the distributor and configure the timing control.
