    I felt that excitement last October Paul. It was especially exciting since I tore the engine completely down and put it back together.

    Your parking light issue shouldn't be to hard to track down. Sounds like you have a good handle on it.

    Keep at it!

    Update:
    Figured out why I was breaking headlight fuses...because i had a taillight pigtail socket that wasn't properly seated into the housing...and was grounding one of the contact ends to the housing. (oops).
    Next issue to fix:
    Headlights are on when (new) headlight switch is pulled out to the first position. (supposed to be running lights only in that first position).
    When pulling all the way out, the headlights stay on (as they should).

    Trying to figure out why headlights are coming on (at all) in that first position...

    Nope. For a dozen reasons, I haven't touched the car since that last post. Starting the underground/trenching work on the new garage and the Gas Co screwed me up with scheduling a service line install, then not showing up, only to find out they really didnt schedule it, so I'm still a week and a half out on that. That's the very first thing that has to happen to build the garage, because the existing 70 year old line runs thru the middle of where this garage goes. So that meant moving everything I own off the back 1/4 acre onto my long driveway, so we can dig ditches, move and compact dirt, etc. Too much to try to explain here, but maybe I'll start a new post on the build in chit chat...

    I think I've turned the corner on wiring...
    Fixed a few gremlins that I had to troubleshoot lately, but all circuits seem to test out OK now, and I'm so ready to move "out of wiring jail" and into the next phase: putting fluids in and attempting to start this LS1 engine up!
    Here's some wiring progress pics. What a cluster>>>>

    Congrats WC! I know that's a milestone that feels good to be behind you!

    I haven't yet started wiring on mine, but getting closer to that phase; I am told the person redoing my engine/trans/computer rework is finished, although my car is not yet ready to install it and test it...

    Looks good Paul! Keep plugging away and you'll get there. You'll be driving it before you know it.
