Want to have ECU inside,
would be easy to run wires if i have a fuse/relay block inside, possibly in the format as linked picture shows.
'on' lights would make troubleshooting a few seconds faster as well.




feel free to add anything i probably forgot

I would highly reccomend putting the horn and the turn signals near or on the steering wheel, otherwise you just won't bother using them. Been there on one of my camaros.

good pint. I rarely usethe horn anyways, but as for now i'll stil be running the stock steering wheel and column so that shouldnt be too hard, just gotta find the wires.

I also have a couple push/pull cables laying around so im thinking ill route an accusump ball valve control inside the cab, and possibly an exhaust cutout depending on how i feel when i get to exhaust.

same with brake bias. as much as i would like to run a full bias bar setup, they are looking well out of my budget so an adjustable prop valve will have to do.
That will either have to get routed into the cab (would like to avoid this, since bleeding would suck) or i'd find a way to use the cables i have to adjust it.

Labels: stickers, or an idea I got online is to punch the letters into the base metal.
it'd be a bitch lining it all up evenly, but might be worth making a quick jig for just that

found a nice source for stuff
