Torchmate was earning it's keep this weekend.
Between custom rear shock mount parts to random tabs and gussets. Custom fuel cell mount. tube caps and tube clamp/plates.
RGE will be happy this month I'm sure.

Tonight's progress:

Fuel system plumbed
Fuel pump mounted
Rear brake lines installed
Remote battery cable run
Cherry bomb installed
Temp Power to fuel pump
Got the engine to turn over but no start.
Spent the last few hours tracing wires and double checking things.
Called it quits at 1230
I removed steering wheel and column and opted for stand alone ignition system.
Hopefully I'm just tired and just missing something stupid.

According to my Hayes manual diagrams I have power in the right places.
Ugggh! SO CLOSE!

After reading Smikes post about deterioration of the cell foam I'm thinking maybe I should confirm I'm getting fuel to the engine first.

[M4wdFab]

do you have the two wires for impact detection thing connected together? not sure if it talks to ecm or just kills power to fuel pump

i used OEM fuel pump control

[mr.mindless]

I believe that's just in-line with fuel pump wiring. Give that like 70% confidence since it's something I think I've heard.

Not that it really matters which it is, as long as it's bypassed.

[JEEPWERX]

I have fuel pump wired direct to new switch panel.
But did not re connect impact sensor.
Not sure where it is yet.
It may shut off ecm.
That's definitely describes symptoms.
Fingers crossed for later tonight.

In front of passenger footwell.

[JEEPWERX]

Yup.
cab is completely stripped out of all wiring.
Just need to find it in the rats nest.
