So, the BMWizing of the little Olds that could is complete! Well, almost. This will do until the 2x2 intake is done for the final version after paint. This is an E10 air cleaner I modded to fit. I think it looks pretty close to what a stock single carbed V8 looks like. Incidentally, I have a picture of that I'll post up later. A few minor things (breather, PCV hose, and brake booster vacuum port) left then the engine bay will be just about done!

Power is applied and everthing works AFTER I figured out I have a bad turn signal switch (brand new junk), two bad headlight switches (garbage), and best part? I installed generic cheap replacements on the spare parts shelf and everthing works. Brand new parts, inop. Good times!
