    The wires in the drivers floorboard - were you goin to hook them up to the tac and water temp or just take them out?

    Is that a gauge in the glove box?
    What is the gauge on top of the intake near the firewall? Fuel pressure?
    I was going to use the tach until I got everything tuned and straightened out, then take it out, and the water temp was just in there from when I had my 358ci v8 in there, since the water temp sender from the tbi 305 was melted to hell and the wire was hacked.

    The gauge in the glove box is an Autometer narrowband o2 gauge from when I had the 358 in the truck.

    The gauge on top of the intake is the fuel pressure, but the fuel pressure isnt accurate, the gauge face bowed out and the needle hits it, so it only reads 44psi, but it holds 53-54psi at all times. The gauge is on the return rail on the intake, because I installed a corvette fuel filter down below, due to my mis-reading, I installed the corvette fuel filter even though the truck intake has 2 fuel lines and is self regulating I intended on changing it back to the easy way when I got it all said and done, but as you can see, that hasnt happened.

    The battery has a switch on it, to cut power to the fusebox. That is the back feeding thing I was talking about. If I flip the switch on the battery, it will stay running until I turn the key off inside. If I turn the key off inside, I have to flip the switch off to kill power. Something, somewhere is backfeeding, and I havent figured out where yet. There are only 2 wires connecting the engine harness to the truck itself; the main hot wire from the starter 12v going to the distribution block on the fire wall (giving power to the inside of the truck), and my wire going from the fuse box inside to the fuse box underhood, to power on the fuse box. I think if i changed the wire to power up the engine fusebox, it would probably fix it. I swapped around to a couple different wires in the fusebox in the cab, but didnt change anything.
