The fuse box and wiring is the being changed to the later 4k style with the
fuse box under the hood.  This is obviously going to require some cutting,
but is fairly straight forward and well worth the effort IMO.  The wiring in
the car now is truly scary.   One added benefit is that the 3B engine harness
will be an almost plug-in installation.  The wiring from the battery and
alternator will be larger, as well as the head lights and a few other
goodies...

I'm using two compatible non factory VDO senders.  I am doing it now with the
oil and coolant temp using the late 4kq LED temp. display in the diff. lock
panel.  This panel will go away and be replaced by the three guage setup from
a non q 4k when the other stuff goes in.
