I've been going really slow and taking my time, doing things right and fixing things that are more convenient now that the motor is out.

I'd like a little feedback, though ...

I have removed my radio and am installing a 3 guage cluster in it's place: Oil Pressure, Oil temp and water temp. All electornic.

I have connected the guage ground and the light ground to the aluminum bar that holds the guage in place and jumpered all 3 bars together. I will run an engine ground through the firewall and terminate it to an engine ground, thus giving a common ground for everything.

I also installed jumpers to all the necessary 12V points ... the lights and guage power. I have a 3A fuse in line. I will get this power from the fuse panel.

Finally, I will run all the individual sender wires to the proper points.

I will install a molex connector so that it all plugs in for easy removal.

Sound like I'm on the right track?

It is probably an optical illusion caused by the angle mounts you are using and the center of the cameras lens when you took the picture. Also, the focal length can cause a funny distortion (wide angle lenses "stretch" things and they can twist in some cases).

I really do spend too much time taking pictures....
