242 GT rear seats? Why not!? 

I picked up the rear cards from the GT as well but they need some TLC before they go in. That's if I keep the GT stuff. Obviously being almost 40 years old the seats are showing some signs of wear and tear. Worse comes to worst I'll put my other seats back in. 

Also got a chance to do the terminal 11 mod today. Quick mod and I don't lean out even at 15 psi! Don't want to go above 14psi for now though 

Picked up a spare harness terminal from my friend. I picked green/red because this color isn't used by the ecu harness and who can argue with green and red? It's Christmas Eve!!

New terminal installed (by my pinky)

Hobbs pressure switch set to 11psi (came at 15 which was too high). I run 11s on the wideband for a split second at 11-12 psi so I will be adjusting the switch later. 

All "Tee'd" up! 

Just tapped into my CBV line off the intake manifold. Perfect spot because I just use the former A/C holes in the firewall. Only about a foot and a half of hose needed to reach the pressure switch which is mounted right above the ecu. 

Grounded the switch at a factory ground location. The one that connects to the wiper motor and valve cover. 

After a quick test drive I have to say those 4 extra psi REALLY throw you back in your seat with the 18T. What a great mod!
