(01-08-2020, 07:48 AM)turbojeep Progress is coming right along. Looks like you're getting very close. Curious as to how you're doing to work that light bar
Will have to see, I put one on the Jeep but it has a nice slot that fit pretty good, I live pretty far out so it is nice to be able to make the trees glow. Once I get it shined up and look at it a bit will think of some ideas, where it could fit. The only thing I don't like about them is it whistles like a Stuka siren above 80mph, brings too much attention.

I did get her going today, some more trim work to go and found that I used the wrong vacuum pump gasket.
There was prewiring for a CB, even the color scheme matched the original gasser fuel wiring:

The OFGear controller fit nicely in the passenger computer cover:

Put in 2 stage boost controller so can run low most of the time and flip a switch when extra is needed:

Finally replaced the AC drain hoses:

When I ran it, some oil was dripping down the front near the crank. At first I thought I screwed up the front main seal, but luckily I just used the wrong gasket on the vacuum pump:

My EDS plan isn't working out, I'll post a video soon of the first start, it was loping around so I'll have to nix that idea rather than try to work around all the missing EGR/intake sensors. I think the AC still will work with the original system, but the boost of RPM when compressor engaged will have to go. Once I get the new gasket in I'll try running it without the EDS hooked up.
