This is probably gonna become a running thread...

First off, thanks for the header advice. Three hours later, that b!tch finally made it into the car.

Now, as I wait for payday so I can get some fuel hose, I look towards the biggest challenges I have: Underhood wiring.

The 323 had a stripped down electrical bundle, a leanburn-ectomy, and was sporting a MSD box for ignition duties. I kept everything as together as possible, but what concerns me is the wiring bundles for the fuel flow meter: exact same ones for the air cleaner. This does not bode well.

I have been studying the swap pics on ImperialClub.com to try to gather what I need, but it's not clear. From what I can tell, I need to swap the Mirada's forward fuel lines in (out of passenger fender instead of near trans dipstick), route fuel flow meter (still not 100%...blame head injuries) and make the mods to run the MSD box in the car. After that it should just be accessory hookup, figuring out the CF that became the trans shift linkage, and I should be able to fire it.

HELP. Pics below for comparison. In the Mirada pic, the MSD box would reside where the washer tank is. I'm looking for a new location for it in the Imperial.
