So what has everyone been working on?
It's mildly funny that one of my last posts before this forum went tango-uniform was asking if anybody had done a digital dash before and I spent the last week designing one for myself.

Things went pretty bog standard for me and my projects as I started off with one intent and eventually just ended up going off the rails. What started out as a simple swap out for a fuel injection system has turned into basically rebuilding the entire car. Moved away from the v-belts and built my own serpentine pulley system and brackets, electric water pump, 400A alternator, AIR CONDITIONING (which I've never had), complete from scratch wiring harness, electric fans, new radiator, individual coils (so no more distributor - I'm using a hall sensor as a 'cam position sensor' and a 36-2 crank trigger), new just about everything. There are also zero fuses in the car other than the stereo. Everything is controlled from a PMU and my beloved 1972 Cadillac has its own CAN-BUS.

And probably my favorite parts - A WORKING GAS GAUGE AND A DIPSTICK FINALLY!!!
The interior will have a pair of seats out of a 2014 CTS-V and a 2016 CTS-V steering wheel with working buttons! I even designed my own clock spring to mate a late model steering wheel to an antique style column.
