When connecting the wire to the oil sender the b%&*#y screw broke, so will have to get another sender unit.

Threading the wired through the flexible conduit took 3 hours, 10 m of MIG wire, 1 roll of electrical tape, 1 can of soft drink and all of my patience.

However, with materials used, should never have a fault with it and therefore, should never have to do that again....

Still have to finish wiring up the rest of it....
Doing a great job Darrin, but what is with the RED coil? With such a good restoration shouldn't you have the correct crab distributor coil? I am sure that there are plenty around. I may even have a spare one here.

Keep up the good work.

Regards Rick.
