Update

Any clarification on sizes for each fitting?
In case for future reference someone else does the same thing and they
do a search and find this information.
Perhaps a pictorial with arrows pointing to where for those who cant picture it in their minds.

I thought about it only after i had posted.

brakes question

Is the modulator absolutely necessary for braking?
I do not have one under the hood.
Can I just cap off the line on the brake cylinder where it would go to the modulator and not have rear ABS.

Thank you for the pictorial post.
I know each one of us with swaps have different circumstances when it comes to our cars.
In my circumstance I had no wiring at all and no experience with Starquest's.
A pictorial step by step of the basics is great.
Im sure there will be someone who comes along ...

From an 85 Toyota Celica.
I never actually saw the car, the junkyard that i got it from has workers that pull the parts for you and just add on the cost of labor to your parts. works for me, i just show up and pick it up and pay and go.
there were thousands of cars.

im so used to my 3000gt, when ...

I have a source for a w58 trans from an older celica.
and then plan to purchase the bellhousing adaptor from bill.
I have a source for the flywheel with pilot bearing and pressure plate.

Just need ...
