So this is what ive been up to lately, i finally got around to drilling the holes in my heater box and put it on, had a tiny fitment issue with it not clearing the lip at the top of the firewall but it was an easy fix. I think it bein 40 degrees this mornin motivated me to finally do it.

Oh yeah and when i had the blower fan off i noticed this, are these fans made by hurst?

Lol i could, i thought hurst only made shifters

Well this is what i did today so i finally have a working tach, plus i already had the tach since it was in the car when i bought it and i had some extra wire sitting around i used. So it was at no cost pretty much. I will say i think a 10,000 rpm tach is a lil excessive, a 8,000 would of been better. I now know that my car idles at 800 rpms, is that about normal? Just curious. Also in the pic im not at 5,000 rpms thats just where i set the shift point for the shift light i dont have.

That looks good with the heater-only box. Opens up some room to work, too.

800 RPMs (hot idle) sounds a smidge high for a 305 TBI, but not by much.

My brother lives down near you (Yorktown). You ever need a hand with anything he's like twice as nuts as I am about helping out fellow 3rd gen owners. Viciously smart on the electronics and ECM/engine controls (military trained + proper diagnostic tools + avid hobbyist = good combination). And possibly the only person on the planet who understands how a Trans Am digi-dash and electronic HVAC controls work! Shoot me an email if you want and 'll plug you into him.

Where did you pick that AC delete box at? Did it clear the headers alright?

I got it from hawks thirdgen, they're kinda pricey but the overall quality of it was good. The only thing i didnt like was only 3 of the fan holes lined up right but it wasnt a big issue and all the holes for the firewall were spot on. It cleared the headers perfectly and the headers are the main reason i got rid of the a/c box. All in all im happy with, oh and it is fiberglass with like a black gloss epoxy finish.

At damon; i'll send you an email, it'd be awesome to have someone help with the whole tuning and electrical side considering a tune is the only thing keeping me from gettin a cam and some decent heads.
