Progress report

 Managed to get some things done over the last two nights.

- Extended the brake switch leads to the new pneumatic switch.
- Remove the oil pressure warning switch and installed the VDO adapter from my former M10 setup.  I'll have to prime the air of the bottom of the loop I think.
- Attached the booster bracket to the firewall.  Even though I'm not running a booster, the modified bracket is still home to the power distribution block and throttle linkage machinery.
- Test fit the intake manifold, looks like it clears everything! And a clear shot to the starter and all of the power wiring.  Woohoo!
- Modified the TPS mounting plate (read: banged with a hammer) so that it would clear the inner manifold runners.
- Test fit the injector wiring harness and assembly, as well as the TPS and IAT sensor runs - looks good.

Tonight (presumably):

- Re-run battery and ground cables through firewall, reconnect power block, starter.
- Clean up the alternator bracket and test mount it.
- Test mount the intake pipes and filter, mark for modification.
- Maybe fiddle with the throttle linkage a bit - it pulls the wrong way so will probably have to fab my own levers.

A second set of MSDS headers is on it's way, so I'll be able to start work on the exhaust soon.
