Rich stopped by and helped me with the wiring. He pretty much validated that how I was wiring it up, was correct. So, we started to cut all the required wires for starting the engine to the correct length. Unfortunately we need a double crimping tool. Rich has one at work, that he is going to borrow and bring by tomorrow. So hopefully tomorrow night we'll have the engine and ignition switch all wired up.

The correct length drive shaft arrived today. It got installed and the transmission is full of tranny fluid.

I had Rich (a mechanic by profession) check out my brake pedal feel. He said it feels too soft and that I still have air in the system. After he was messing with the brake pedal, I did a quick check for leaks, and found a slow leak at the passenger side front caliper. He also expressed concern that I could boil my brake fluid due to the distance that the brake line is from the header. And, he was concerned about my spark plug wires melting off due to how close they are to the headers as well. So, it looks like I'm going to need some 45 degree or 90 degree spark plug wire connectors.
