After 8 months and more money than I want to think about "IT'S ALIVE". With a stock 45k LS1 (Camaro) and a fresh 4L65W automatic it's hard to get the grin off my face every time I drive it. The Borla exhaust sounds sweet but with the electric cutout I'm just a push button away from getting rowdy. The interior looks stock down to the radio and Datsun auto console with stock shifter. Only thing left to do is putting a new ac compressor , dryer and hoses on and it will be 100 % functional. The conversion kit is JCI and the PCM is from PSI CONVERSIONS. It's got an aggressive street tune that's perfect for the setup I have.

You kind of get a look at the way the custom grill was made and the air intake is in the perfect spot. -

NO rust here and no bondo other than whatever the factory might have used. -

The car originally had a 5 speed but because of the light weight and high torque I decided to go with a fresh (under warranty) 4L65E 4 speed auto with lock up torque converter. I bought the auto factory shifter from a member here at Hybrid Z. -

Original dash has two cracks at gauge pod. I put a new dash cover on and a nice dash protector on top of that.(New Orleans sun is HOT) Dash has all factory (working) gauges. -

Almost finished with my78 Z/LS1 swap. The only thing left is hooking up the tach. I sent it off and had it recalibrated and now ready to hook up the white wire from the new computer to the old tach. My only problem is that I can't find a schematic that shows the color of the old signal wire on the tach so I can replace it with the new signal wire(white). I believe there's about 8 wires going to the tach, so if anyone knows what color the old signal wire is, I would really appreciate you letting me know. I found an article online describing two green wires coming off the coil but I'm not sure it's for my year car. Please help!
