  1. Been working a bunch, only a few hours every now and again to get stuff done. Managed to get the fuel lines made up. Had to run 3/8" for both supply & return so made them from scratch, plus put the 10 micron filter in the supply line per Holley recommendations. Also made a bracket to mount the Holley fuel pressure regulator (with 100 psi pressure sensor) & a stainless line up to the throttle body/FI with -AN connections. Spent a lot of time trying to find a place to put the Holley ECM. It's larger than the usual ones they have because this one also includes the transmission controller. Was going to mount it on a plate right on the bottom of the inside HVAC box, but didn't like that location. Probably would have always been kicked by the passenger. Eventually made a couple of bracket so it tucks in under the cowl, above the HVAC unit. Out of the way, protected, and away from engine heat as well. Have a pretty good idea where I'm going to mount the Dakota Digital module & also their Holley FI interface module. It'll be under the dash as well and pretty accessible if needed. There's not a whole lot of room under there if the car has AC. Body is temporarily back on the frame for now, to finalize the rear fuel line fitment to the gas tank. Plenty more to do....

  2. Hi. Nice score! Just bolt it in with the 10 bolt arms. It will bolt right in. I have installed way to many rears in my time like this. Especially if you don't mind if you have the factory correct arm or not. The stock 10 bolt upper arms will work.

  3. Looking good Joe, enjoying the pic's of the progress. I forgot how much room you had and the helpers you have around, should've sent mine up to you for the frame off engine swap 🤣

  5. One lucky dog!! 12 bolt posi with 3:55 gears. I still have my 3:42 posi 10 bolt in mine. Always thinking I'll change it out for a 12 bolt. UMI Upper control arms on mine.

  6. I have gone 10 teens in a drag car with 10 bolt arms on a 12 bolt for many years. I'm sure they made the different arms for a reason. I'm just saying they work the same.

  7. I have heard the 10 Bolts being used with a little modification on the 12 Bolt Rears but can't say how well they held up. Considering this is a Flex/Stress point, I just wouldn't feel comfortable over time and would think twice before lighting them up. They changed the configuration for a reason, right? JMO Doug

  8. How much would it really weaken it? If its not a real high horsepower car I have to think it would be ok to just grind that little bit off and put a washer or shim on it. Any other thoughts on this?

  9. The upper Control Arm on the Diver Side Rear has a notch cut into it as clearance for the 12 Bolt. You can notch the 10 Bolt Control Arm but you weaken the Arm. Pics indicate difference. Doug
