Updates from yesterdays work
Bought a bus bar at Lowe's and mounted it under that dash. Scrapped the paint on the outside where the bolt and washer contact to ground to the cab. Hooked the ground from the fuse box to this bolt along with a jumper wire to the bus bar. You can't really see the jumper wire in this photo.

Got my MSD box mounted and started routing the wires. I have to extend the two that go to the coil and the two that go to the distributor.

I mocked up the grille support and grille. I will have to notch the grill support about a 1/4" in one spot

After I got all the holes drilled and mounted I was feeling proud about its placement until I realized it will get wet if driven in the rain! Fortunately I don't ever plan on driving this thing in the rain. If there is even a chance it won't leave the garage. And I think the MSD box is sealed.
I can play FEF for the moment
