Don't believe anything Sniffer says for the next few days. He has inhaled way to much soldering smoke lately. I don't know how many connections are on each Backplane Board (the standoffs should count as ten), but the Rev G Control Boards each have 454 solder connections. And he assembled three of them in two days!!!

Looks good. Amazing how many wires go to the Star Ground! Do you connect anything to the IEC inlet ground pin?

No connection to the IEC ground pin. The ground lug on the Left channel board hold down has one connection to the buss bar, then there are (If I remember correctly), 2 (ground 1 and 2) from the right channel, ground 1 and 2 from the left channel, one for the front panel, and 3 for the DCP. SO, like 8 to the bus bar.

Oh, the center tap of the Transformer is there too...... I put the 3 grounds for the DCP into a 16-14 ga lug and use the connection where the bus bar screws to the bulk cap.

I got a box of parts showing up this afternoon from Joe @ White Oak, not sure what's in it but I better head out to the shop and prep.

A hot MPFI and full boost controller might really step-up a WPOL and beyond.

The local dealer has a beautiful example in his collection upstairs with like 100 miles on it. My club would disapprove of me riding it in formation but I still want one. Screw them. It's really a glorified "LeadWing" but I still want one
