Couple of updates on the car.

I have a Hurst Line Lock I have had for a while, just haven't gotten around to installing it. So I finally got that put on. Tucked it in behind the driver's side strut tower. I'm happy with how it turned out. Its kind of out of sight, but still accessible. I need to wire it up, but its all plumbed up.





I also have been looking at upgrading my Holley HP ECU to a Dominator and finally did. The Dominator has a lot more features, the biggest being LOTS more inputs/outputs. The HP had 4 inputs and 4 outputs, the Dominator has like 40 of each. The possibilities are endless as far as what you can do with it.





Size comparison between the HP and Dominator



I made a plate to mount it under the passenger's side seat where I had my HP mounted

I decided to redo my relay board for my fuel pumps. This is what I had.


Pic from when I was putting it together:





It was mounted on the side of my battery box:





I was wanting something more enclosed and protected. I went for a walk through the junkyard to see what I could find lol. Ended up finding a relay/fusebox out of a Nissan Maxima. Looked like this:








I pulled it all apart and modified it to hold the fuse block from my old panel. Also took out all of the mismatched relay sockets and put 6 of the same 4-prong relay sockets. Four of them will be used for my fuel pumps, like before, and the other two will be available for future needs. Underneath I added a terminal block for attaching the inputs/outputs of each relay. The large blue wire coming into the box is the positive feed coming from the switched side of my battery disconnect switch and it feeds the fuse block. There's also a ground stud on the outside to run ground to the relays. The plug on the opposite end has four wires. Two are fuel pump signal wires coming from the Holley ECU. One for the primary fuel pump and one for the secondary fuel pump. The other two wires are positive out of the relays, going to the fuel pumps. Slapped some plastic paint on it and it's good to go! I installed it in the car but forgot to take pictures. Works great and looks a lot better than before!

Oh you fancy

I dont know about that. I am glad I played operation a lot when I was a kid, because I needed it to get all of that packed in there! lol

Made another smaller relay box. This one has two relays in it.

One is for the starter solenoid which sends power to the small wire down on the starter.

The other is a relay that interrupts the horn signal. When I turn the line lock activation switch on (I'll add a virtual switch on my digital dash) it opens the relay and takes the horn signal to the line lock instead of the horn when the horn button is pushed. This way the horn functions normally with the line lock turned off (relay closed), but with the line lock turned on(relay open) I can activate it using my horn button on the steering wheel. I was originally going to use the cruise control "off" button, but its too low and I didnt care for it there.

Here is how the relay box looks mounted over by the brake booster:

I know I haven't been on much, but stay tuned, updates coming soon!!
