There is actually. I finally got the wiring to a point where I tested and everything worked. I had what I thought were significant problems, but when I got into it, ended up being a bunch of simple easy to fix issues.

I have a problem with my crank trigger not lining up to the correct tooth on the balancer wheel. For some reason, BHJ has the trigger wheel clocked 2 teeth more than my original Electromotive balancer kit. The current available Electromotive ECU has a way to compensate for it, but my old ignition only system doesn't, so I will have to cut up my trigger bracket and modify it to fit, or pony up for a new system. The trigger wheel problem is the only thing preventing me from starting the car.

My next priority is getting the car stripped and painted, which is my final big hurdle.

I started stripping the car today after work. It will be a bare tub again and off to paint soon.

This is aging very well

This is the sad reality of most big projects unfortunately.

For real. 9-second electric conversions will be common, making the project irrelevant. Still cool though..
