This is a great thread Dan and one I'm using to help plan my work on the same project over the winter. I had some questions for you as I begin to plan out the work:
1. In the beginning you mentioned that you drained all of the gas from the tank. What was the rationale for this? I don't know when/if my tank was replaced, but would rather not get into that mess unless I need to

I assume I do not NEED to drain all fuel from the car, but will do it if I have to!
2. Do you have any pictures of the mounts you made (or purchased) for the new fuse block/bus and vacuum & fuel linkages? Trying to find something online that I could use as I really have no tools/skill to be fabricating anything like that

lol
I'm sure I'll have a million more as I get deeper into it. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it!!
