I got the inlet tube welded up and I just need to make and weld in the Mass Air Flow mount fitting..........I also got my Vaporworx fuel pump controller......gonna make a bracket today to get it mounted and get it finish wired up today.......All the wires seem to terminate around the Battery and the one I'm using is both a top post and side post.....makes it a lot easier to tap into for battery power.....the mass of wires look like a mess but when the Battery is in everything falls into place.......Getting Closer....

Beautiful work. The effort and dedication makes me want to go out and start/finish some project....any project!

I got the Fuel Pump controller (Vaporworx) all installed and finish wired............It needed to be near the Battery so I made a bracket to mount the module inside the fender right there........worked out pretty good........I was also going to make the mount for the Mass Airflow sensor and after stopping at Frame-up Wheelworks.....Donnie told me that GM has them already made and ready for welding......and he just happened to have one......Lucky!!!!......

What are you going to do with the evap purge line on the passenger side? Are you hooking it to a canister or directly to the vent on the tank?

Haven't got that far yet.......I'll have to research the function of that system and figure it out............Anybody care to explain what I should do???.......Any Help would be appreciated.....

Thanks in advance

I'm checking with John at Speartech to see if that function is still enabled.....If so I will hook that line up to a vacuum canister...........After reading about the function I think that should solve that problem.....

Let me know as soon as john gives you some info. He built my harness also.

kwhizz · 01-06-2014, 03:20 PM

I talked to John today and even though the Evap Purge Valve is wired with a plug.......It is non enabled........so no need to hook up the purge line.........Good!!....one less thing to deal with.....I removed the line and put a rubber plug on the port.......

I got back on the project today and finished the inlet tube with the Mass Airflow sensor mount.....Test fit and ready to go.....I just need to add a fitting for the valve covers venting into the tube.......I'll do that tomorrow and another thing off the list....

kwhizz · 01-07-2014, 07:20 PM

Got the air intake tube finished up today........After looking at the way that GM engineered the fitting that connected to the valve cover vents to the inlet tube........It seemed to me it was like a mini chamber so any residual anything would go to the bottom of the vessel......so......I made a mini version out of aluminum for the Vapor to flow thru, I probably made it more complicated than it needed to be ......but.......What's new.....LOL....
