Coil packs, control cables and MAP tubing progress
I permanently attached the coil pack mount to the engine mount:

To secure the heat control cables to the firewall, I got a custom two-0.19in-hole TTP-S fitting. Installing it and then installing the dual Adel clamps with the engine and everything else already in place was...not easy, but we managed it:
TTP-S firewall fitting for the heat control cables
Installing the TTP-S in place on the firewall recess
We also installed the cabin heat control cables (I insisted on not using servos for this 'cause I want to be sure that the valve can stay closed in case of an engine fire, and servos would melt away pretty quickly):

Upon closer inspection, however, it became clear that that was the wrong way to clamp the wire - it was even breaking the washer in half - so we instead switched to a 222-4 B nut, which seems much better:

I installed some of the MAP sensor tubing, though the tube coming from the throttle body can only be trimmed to the right length once the bottom engine bracket gets here (and I'm still designing it):
Manifold pressure tubing connected to EFII sensors
Manifold pressure tubing connected to sensors and fuel pressure regulator (but not yet to the throttle body)

Once those brackets are here, I can secure those hoses and be done with this section.
