Here was today's progress, all fabrication is complete, now just wiring and fluids to go.

Throttle cable comes around from the front and in between the firewalls:

Then pokes out here:

Here you can see this adjustable cam lever I made from a piece of a Nissan that rides on the bearing:

Then the cable support made of steel:

Finished design, just needs the return spring on the pump and final adjustment:

This isn't the most elegant solution, but will work for now. I wish I could have used the rods and kept cruise control, maybe someday in the future.

And finally, the last weld on the car for awhile (hopefully). Installed the EGT sensor from the 83:
