Made a plate to bolt the gas pedal to since it decided to pull out when I was working on it Friday afternoon. Then messed with the points trying to get it set right and finally gave up knowing that I will be converting to electronic this week anyways.

After looking for coiled cord 18/3 and finding out that McMaster-car sells it for a lot more that I felt like paying. I found a electronics whole seller shop near work in Torrance that sells these for $2.00 perfect way to save some money and have a diy steering controls set up if you know what your doing.
Also scored a lot of new power wire and ground wire from work already wrapped in loom and heat shrink some cutting will be necessary for a clean install but this helps me out from having to run to orvac electronics.

McFadden dale is the same way seems like it's 40 minimum everytime I go.

Orvac is also spendy you can find a lot off the same stuff on eBay for half the cost.

So far I haven't spend any money on the electrical it's all shit I get as surplus from work.

Goodbye points. Also got some fuel line to cover my cracked control cables. Now if I could ever get off this never ending work shift I could go home and install it.
