One more thing......do I wire the coils to the FC's ECU setup or just wire them to the FBs wiring for the coils?



Thanks

BTW: I know this must be annoying for you but I need this info so I can share it with others like drifter when his time comes.
the fc engine harness will go right in and run the engine, it will interface with the fb under the dash. you will prolly have to run extra wires for the cas and coils from under the dash to the fb coil location

I got the white inserts for the guage instrument cluster a couple of weeks back, so I'll probably go with some white guages to match. I'm thinking autometer?? They seem like a popular brand and I can get them from everywhere. Is there any other good brands for guages you know of?
