You are correct, my front clip is one piece with the main body. They came both ways.

I dug into it a bit more, taking things apart and inspecting and planning. I'd sure like to hear the engine run smoothly once, before I drain the gas for the winter. That will tell me whether I should work on wiring this winter, or whether I need to dig into the engine. So here is today's discovery.
Four bare wires twisted together, one of them goes into the crimp connector. No solder no insulation, just hope. That's the main power to the ignition, the fuel pump, and something else unidentified.
And here is another underdash view.
Pretty funny, is that can upside down at the top an old-style voltage regulator? It is not needed with the Delco one wire alternator in the car now, but there it is.. with one wire still connected. To somewhere...
Does anybody recognize this pedal assembly? The build manual didn't say to use Corvair, it suggested an aftermarket assembly from Honest Charlie. Unlike some things this ain't broke, I'm not going to fix it, but I am curious.
That's it for today. I am tempted to dig into the wiring, I lined up some parts, but I'm going to wait. My plan is to do ignition stuff first and see if I can hear it run cleanly. I don't need to re-wire the darn car for that, I can always run a wire straight from the battery to the HEI distributor for test purposes. That would eliminate a whole lot of unknowns and cut to the truth.

Oh, you DEFINITELY have to work on the wiring this winter.

Looks like a VW Beetle wiper motor.

I do not.
Your car's wiring makes me feel better about mine!
In reply to ekauppi7 :
I know you're not responsible for the wiring, please tell me you pull the leads off the battery when you're not standing near the car. Good gravy that's bad.

Oh, that's great. Good to know! There are always guys on the Valkyrie forums wondering what wipers they have. Many different ones were used by creative builders back in the day. Now I have a clue. Thanks!
