    That is a great picture. I remember when I got the delivery from R&C. It was like Christmas opening everything up. I had a smile for a week.

    I need to start updating my website, as well. I haven't messed with the car much in the past several years, but recently took up a second (and third) job for extra cash to pay down bills and finally get some long-awaited stuff done on the mav.

    I hope to use this opportunity to move all that electrical mess around the solenoid and MSD 6A box to either the firewall, or possibly into the glove box inside the car. That is the only reason I keep my hood closed nowadays. It is an electrical mess under there.

    Two thirds of that wiring is MSD. The rest is electric fan, temperature operated fan solenoids, and other lighting.

    The more electronic stuff I added, the more wiring that was needed. But it wasn't doubling, as much as increasing exponentially!

    Most of this is can be hidden behind the firewall, I think...

    My OCD has been a mess since I installed all these electronic components.

    I will fix it. It is a nasty looking mess, but it works. So now I just need to relocate and clean up my mess.
