Swap alternator guts into the powdercoated alternator case i have
install Spinning wheels alternator pulley

MAYBE pull and repaint my Cervinis hood I have several clear coat cracks since we painted it last year (i think i put too much clear on it)

Well let's see.....
I have to .... wait, no I don't.
I do have to .... actually no, I don't.
I should .... ehhhh probably not.
I really better .... nah, forget it.
and when I am done with all that I need to take out the map and figure out where I'm going.

Then I think maybe I will wash it and the watch Jacob run some 12's :p :D
 
Re install the t56
Have body shop finish the paint
Break in the new clutch
Change the rear rotors to stock size so I can run 15" slicks
Clean polish clean polish load and go.
 
I need to get off the fence and decide if I am going or not. I really dont have much to do before hand, but it would be nice to get the line locks installed. I wont be driving the car up there this year, but buying a trailer is not in the cards... so a uhaul transport will have to suffice. I'll probably decide in a month or so.

This is what David Dalke told me when I asked the same question.

Tach signal from the dash cluster, definitely. Wire should be dark green/yellow stripe but verify by following the trace on the back of the cluster. It's marked "S" at the tach pins, so you can follow that over to the connector to verify.
