@davidnunn posted:I had a feeling you'd run into these issues with the fiberglass decklid. They are fine for a race car, where weight is the primary concern and fit is secondary. It is always a ton of work to get them to fit like an OEM steel decklid. Just return it, if you can.
Cutting a notch in the original decklid isn't "the end of the world". Just make sure you save the piece you cut out. There are lots of good sheet metal fabricators out there, that could weld the notch back into the decklid, so no one could ever tell it had been cut out.
I'm surprised that you needed a tach adapter for the HP. My tach worked fine without an adapter, with my Holley Dominator ECU. I assume the tach output on the HP is the same. Oh well, as long as it works!
Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long for a posting that has a video attached to it, with sound!
Thanks David! I tried again to get it to fit and no go for like the 10th attempt(spacers, adjustments of rain rail, latch, trim, etc. An exercise in futility, but needed to take a video of how far it was off for PIM so they could maybe help me get it to fit without bodywork. Good buddy is an aircraft mechanic who specializes in bodywork on aircraft(metal, fiberglass, composite etc). He said it's a no go again, and got a little irritated when I asked him to help me try again...haha. You're right, it's close, but I'd have to do a lot of grinding and add fiberglass to all the edges etc... They should over size these a little b/c much easier to cut down the edges than add. I'm going to have him cut out the notches in the deckled. He recommended following the contour of the 8 stack into the decklid.
Dave at Autotrend EFI will be remotely tuning it as so as I get my Synchrometer; should be here today! Video to come!
