Well I looked into the Jeep. I found a nos Jeep unit and vapor blasted my pedestal. 

 

I will take it to my machine shop on Tuesday. I will have it matched to the stock spline and I will use the stock shaft bushing.

I got my Jenvy throttles in from Datsun Spirit. 

 

I found out they each have a 6mm vacuum port on top! . I will use these for map, FPR and maybe IAC.

I also got my haltech in. I opted for the non terminated ended one. It’s has a very fancy fuse panel, relay board and it’s nice small package. 

 

I am taking my kick panel and having it copied in aluminum. Then powder coated (wrinkle or semi gloss?), I will use it to mount my ecu, tach signal converter and the fuse panel.

I found some stack filters I like. They have three different size mesh strainers. I was told I can remove one and add foam if needed. They look amazing. But we’re expensive. 

 

I hope I like the contrast of these and the Jenvy stacks

I think I have my fpr and hose routing figured out. I’m using push lock AN fittings with braided hoses.

Curios to know if you'll do the internally regulated alternator change and delete the mechanical voltage regulator? Along the same lines, are you going to do the headlight relay harness mod?

No. My alternator will stay. It works perfectly. 

No on the headlight as well. I have vintage looking LEDs with matching vintage warm yellow bulbs I will install sometime.

280z tach guts are in a series 1 tach housing. Hopefully the negative trigger and my coil on plug works with the tach with a 2.2 ohm resistor

Well I struggled with the Jenvy colored throttle bodies for a while. But I think they are growing on me.

Don't forget to run the 280z sense contact to the coil negative. See the red wire here:
