2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

I didn't care for the first intake tube and actually it was the second as I sent the first one back.

Using a tighter bend radius it looks like I can get a 6" filter on the end. We shall see when we install the Anvil Carbon-Fiberglass inner fenders.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163317-084c0e3a-me.jpg

Since I had a very nice set of pedals made for the first version of the car I would like to use them.

The Guys at Screaming Chicken . com make a very nice adapter.

My goal for tonight is to mock up the MAT sensor.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163508-21c6f570-me.jpg

Best Tool Ever !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163512-6cd5b982-me.jpg

Yep, The first hole was just a little bit off so I new hole was made.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163514-8a397ef6-me.jpg

I made the hole just big enough so I can temporarily thread the fitting in. So we can possible start the car this weekend ( 01-11-23 )

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163517-c34bf5b3-me.jpg

It's not permanent but it will do for start up.

Well it wasn't me that leaked all over the floor.

Next time I will make sure the petcock is closed on the bottom of the radiator and yes we were laughing at me.

It's nice having moral support from your friends when you need it.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163807-45432d62-me.jpg

Heater core hose bypass is also leaking and it was the clamps.

We have power and Andrew AKA Dr EFI and I are on the phone.

It's a very simple website but here it is and trust me he is good. https://drefi.net/

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201175341-c5047a0b-me.jpg

Connecting the power and Andrew is trying to remote connect into the ECU.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163834-075c2d85-me.jpg

We have Lights ..... however we have issue's

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163838-cd91b56d-me.jpg

I am so happy I made this thing serviceable.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163844-1b62cf82-me.jpg

Not Good - All the lights are White and we are unable to connect to the handheld.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163853-eb3a8f63-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201164509-7bb2762e-me.jpg

Calling it and we are going to try to figure out what the issue is.

Hopefully it is something I screwed up and a simple fix so we reschedule for next weekend.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201163734-6ec8d123-me.jpg

Andrew AKA Dr EFI gave me a couple suggestions of what to look for and I will work on that later today or tomorrow.

Well, sometimes you just need to move on and take some parts off. So off came the lower valance so I can eventually install the Anvil Carbon inner fenders.

Pictures for reference

[syborg tt]

Since I couldn't remember what the blue white wire does I pulled out some of my notes. Yep, it's the tach output signal wire.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201164911-5806aeb2-me.jpg

I am also relocating the Holley Ground Wire down to the shut off terminal.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201164920-46f77c63-me.jpg

Certain ''Hot'' wires on going to be on the top post DSE Battery terminals.

However, I am not a big fan of them as they just don't seem to grip the battery post.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201164917-eb30f9af-me.jpg

I am also considering adding a positive post on the core support just like the negative post.

[syborg tt]

Since it is only a 30 minute job to remove the Vintage Air unit I am taking it out so I can access all of the wire if we have an issue when we try to start it again on the 21st.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165420-72314740-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165432-ce97d64e-me.jpg

The Blue White Wire - Yep I am going to move it just in case I want to install an old school tach.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165436-8ef1af53-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165417-db5e463c-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165442-7b813090-me.jpg

Fingers crossed that I will be starting the car this weekend.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165439-109f1f1d-me.jpg

One more task added to the list. I am going to drill a hole in this bracket to run the wire directly through the center of this bracket and tuck it under the carpet.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165448-212cc990-me.jpg

[syborg tt]

I realized when the Vintage Air unit is in the car I was unable to tell what each one of the fuses were for.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165454-344f6933-me.jpg

So apparently it is very important to not stack the 11.0 Loose Wire Ground so I am going to move it 2'" away from the ground stud.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165456-958e0ca3-me.jpg

I moved the blue white wire to where the Holley Digital dash will be.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165451-cbfe2ab6-me.jpg

Apparently Remy decided it was nap time.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165458-b6723be0-me.jpg

Remember those DSE Top Post terminals apparently the positive one broke overnight.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165504-e78fd592-me.jpg

Going to plan "B" or is it "C" or is it "D"

These have a little more beef however I am not sure if I like them cosmetically.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165506-e29b2691-me.jpg

So, well the issue seems to be resolved by moving the Loose wire ground and actually hooking up the Holley Main Ground. DA !!!!!!!!

Yes, I actually forgot to install the main ground wire for the unit and yep I am an idiot.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165508-c2ceaa07-me.jpg

Test Ignition on and what do you know it actually works.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165511-099517fb-me.jpg

Junking the DSE Terminals and trying these.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165514-d3d1baa9-me.jpg

Moving on to the Loose Wire Ground and have I told you how much I love this drill.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165520-807594e7-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165525-62728b4e-me.jpg

I stripped all of the paint and coated with Dielectric grease.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201165528-59098552-me.jpg

This is what happed to the hose clamp on the water pump heater core lines. Apparently I opened it up to much and the inside slider
sleeve was pinched. So I am just going back to the old style stainless steel line clamps. On a side note these are almost impossible
to see when they are in the car.

Found the Holley Dash. It wasn't really lost it was just up on the Garage Attic shelf.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201170417-7d07b46f-me.jpg

Remy's up and want's to go to bed as do I. Plus I have to get up early to have a Mohs procedure done on my left
calf. Apparently the biopsy wasn't in my favor and they need to remove more tissue to make sure they removed
all of the skin cancer cells.

[syborg tt]

Unfortunately we didn't attempt to start the car on Saturday as my leg was pretty sore and the Doctor told me I need to stay off my feet for 3 days. Holy **** is it hard to sit on the coach for two day and stay off the bike for 2 or 3 weeks.

So I jumped on the Screaming Chicken website and ordered all the parts I wanted. Let's just call this a late Christmas present.

When I get the new steering shaft I will drop the Steering column off at the Body shop to get repainted satin black.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201170424-37871619-me.jpg

The old levers are coming off and I think they are going to Ron.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201170424-37871619-me.jpg

I also bought a longer charge wire for the Optima charger.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/01/20230201170418-32c67284-me.jpg

I rescheduled the start date to the 28th with Andrew. Let's hope I get everything sorted out by Saturday morning.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131152030-9a388356-me.jpg

I also moved the Holley ECU ground to the battery shut off post.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131152036-379a5d9c-me.jpg

Last minute change up. I really didn't like the top post terminals so I quickly next day air with Amazon a set of Marine top post
terminals. These actually grip the battery post like they should.

I completely disconnected the Holley ECU.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131152106-7bc958de-me.jpg

I also cleaned out the car to make sure there was nothing in the car that wasn't needed. Low and behold I found the pedal bracket
that I ordered over a year ago. It's funny because I told Dave a Screaming Chicken the best way to find lost parts is to order a new
one. Unfortunately I was correct as I found it before I opened the box.

Well, things are finally feeling real as I am pouring gas into the car for the first time in almost three years.

I also went over my start up check list and oddly enough I missed a few more things.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/02/20230202115011-de2634a8-me.jpg

Somehow, I missed a few things and of course one of the most important things.

Yep, I missed the PFT tape on the NPT fitting going into the tank and thankfully Dan was over and he noticed all of the fuel on the ground.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131170047-e8609484-me.jpg

Problem solved.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131170049-8d585a7f-me.jpg

Andrew continued running test before we fired up the car and he notice that I wired the Fan relay incorrectly.
Instead of rewiring it while we were on the phone I just snipped the trigger wire and I will just manually connect it to the battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131170051-4f25fd77-me.jpg

Here we go first start attempt in 3 years. Well it fired right up and boy did it sound terrible.

UOdJt_eVrGk

Then we started again so Andrew could remotely diagnosis the problem. He discovered the entire left "Odd" bank was not firing correctly.
We shut it down and started looking at the coil harness as that seemed to be the issue.

WquLCC3KC_Y

As you can see from the pictures the Holley plug is at the rear of the valve cover and of course it's just plug and play. Well in this case this
case we discover the issue. What we quickly discovered was the wiring was 180 degree's off. Ugh !!! Somehow number 7 is at the front of the
motor. So we called it a day and I will be calling Wiring Specialties on Monday.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131170121-83b43821-me.jpg

I pulled the harness out and noticed they were numbered (( DA !!!! ))

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131170208-f798cfde-me.jpg

Hours later .... You know right before you are supposed to be at dinner for a good friends Birthday stupid idea's run through your head.

What if I flip the coil harness around and push some of the main harness from the inside of the car into the engine bay will it actually reach.

Yep, But it's tight.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131170040-af662810-me.jpg

I figured I could start the car when I got home as it's already snowing and I have a 30 minute drive to the restaurant. So I will just start it when I get home.

[syborg tt]

Yep, We have an oil leak.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153510-f1e7942c-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153519-bb2c2ad2-me.jpg

Looks like I have a second leak as the Oil Pressure switch at the back on the block is leaking and most likely the culprit.

Happy Sunday Morning,

It's Sunday and I am feeling good.

Today I am going to change up my top post battery wires for the last time.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153558-1a1734da-me.jpg

I move the ground wire that was on the top post to the side post so all the grounds are killed when I twist the switch on the battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153601-a5342876-me.jpg

I will eventually clean the wires up in the inner fender.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153605-427d6f84-me.jpg

Something is missing.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153607-46a5c3ab-me.jpg

All better

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153552-3e76fde8-me.jpg

I sent Andrew a text of how nice it was running and he called me and said let's finish this thing and so here we go.

I told he we still have and oil leak so I am going back to fix it with PFT tape instead of the paste.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153833-2169f2fb-me.jpg

It's Sunday Morning and I have one goal and that is to here the car running and running correctly.

Fixed and now I am finally going to start it and hopefully it sounds better.

Time to call Andrew and give him the good news.

[camcojb]

Here we go first start attempt in 3 years. Well it fired right up and boy did it sound terrible.



I thought it was because you still had the injector wires over the fuel rails instead of under... :lol:

Couple more small leaks.

Nothing major just needs to be tightened

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153842-6f428d35-me.jpg

Since I missed the PFT tape everywhere else I decided we needed to look at the fitting under the manifold.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153853-1a9a1130-me.jpg

Since the intake tube needs to be bead blasted and anodized black it was no big deal removing it.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/01/31/20230131153855-d228e181-me.jpg

If it wasn't for Andrew it wouldn't be running that is for sure.

Thank you and I am stopping at Ace Hardware for some Chunky on my way home.

[Goosesdad]

Nice!

[Hotwire]

Congrats Marty!! Can't wait to see that beast out in the sun again!

For now you can de-pin the weather pack at the end of the coil harness and move the wires around so they connect correctly to get the harness back situated the way you want. The #s on the coil plugs will be wrong, but you won't have the harness hanging off the engine.

Good news I found one as Walgreens by the Movie Theater and it is bigger then the old one.

[andrewb70]

I can certainly do it, but it isn't rocket surgery. This is the big Holley wiring manual:

https://documents.holley.com/techlibrary199r10555rev17.pdf

The document is hyperlinked, so go to the second page and click on Wiring Appendix.

Scroll to Figure 24 on page 37. That the wiring diagram for your engine harness. You are not going to touch any of the wires on the main harness side, but only on the coil sub harness. We are only concerned with 4 wires, specifically the ones going to cavities G, F, C, B. Those are the ignition trigger for each coil.

The triggers are on cavity C of each coil connector. The wire from cavity C on cylinder #1 should go to cavity G on the 8 cavity connector....So...

Cylinder #1 goes to G
Cylinder #3 goes to F
Cylinder #5 goes to C
Cylinder #7 goes to B

Let me know if you have any questions.

Andrew

[camcojb]

You can do it Marty!! :thumbsup:

[syborg tt]

So tonight it the night where I am going to move some wires around. I made myself a cheat sheet so I can
visually see the four wires I need to move on the plug. Looking at it like this makes it seem very easy.

[syborg tt]

So, I tried to remove the pins however the heat shrink is so close to the terminal that it is
impossible to pull on gently. The other issue is the black retaining clip is in the way so I quit.

Moving to plan B. I going to have a gentleman out from Florida build me a new Coil harness that
is wired correctly and I am sending these back to Summit Racing since the guys at Wiring Specialties
were not interested in Helping me.

Here is the picture before I move the black clip back and now imagine how tight the space is.

[andrewb70]

Just cut the heat shrink off, then when all the terminals are out of the connector, you can add a new piece of heat shrink before pushing the terminals back into the connector.

At some point have to install this 150amp breaker on the frame.

I had filled the Power Steering Reservoir prior to the first start and I forgot to check the fluid levels after we started
the car. A couple days later I decided to check the fluid levels and guess what it was empty.

Apparently I missed the pft tape on this fitting. So now I am going back and correcting this major mistake as
I don't want the car to catch on fire. I will need to empty the fuel line again and yes I wish would have fixed both fuel
issue's at the same time.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221513-7ceff73b-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221529-9f51bc5d-me.jpg

I also disconnected the Fuel Pump power so the fuel wouldn't drip on the weatherpack connector.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221531-e013f552-me.jpg

Once the fuel stopped leaking I reconnected the line.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221509-24d587ad-me.jpg

I used some simple green to dilute the fuel and poured the mixture into a small bottle that I will drop off at my
buddy's shop for him to dispose of properly.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221504-88818267-me.jpg

[syborg tt]

I actually can't tell you how long ago I bought this ford Fan set up. But what I can tell you is Andrew (( Dr EFI )) suggested I
buy this fan set for the PWM fan controller.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221535-b89d0993-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221543-fe7eb30e-me.jpg

Remember, Chemo really killed my memory so labeling all of the wires really helps me.

Plus it looks really cool.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221548-10f8b45c-me.jpg

Clear heat shrink over the top prevent the printing from coming off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221604-e4df0ec5-me.jpg

I started searching the engine bay to see where I could mount it and I quickly decided it needed to go on the front of the core support.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221614-c9afa419-me.jpg

As you can see it's not a small module.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221620-a196834e-me.jpg

I removed the Overflow tank and marked a hole so I could drill & mount the module.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221647-a2c863ea-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221650-e8ce3515-me.jpg

Module is prepped to mounted.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221653-a62ae419-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221656-9a451c3a-me.jpg

A quick trip to Home Depot for Stainless Steel Hardware. I bought Phillips head and Hex head bolts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221659-4b1bc794-me.jpg

I opted to use the Hex head bolts as it would be very difficult to get Phillips screwdriver on the bolt due to it's location.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221707-a58de53b-me.jpg

Looking down you can see it would be much easier to get a box end wrench on the bolt. Hopefully I will never have
to remove it but with proper planning it will be much easier to work on.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221712-d257cd20-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221701-fc0c3315-me.jpg

Now that the module is mounted I need to route the wires cleanly and safely.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221705-02e60366-me.jpg

So there is this nice factory hole in the core support.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221746-511e8b21-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221842-c31a7633-me.jpg

The wire would route into the engine bay, then down and over towards the fan.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221802-49fb23e3-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221813-cd1cd30e-me.jpg

Getting power to the fan is the next project.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221818-26f928db-me.jpg

I am planning on securing the harness in the middle.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221822-6c5adb36-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221826-c3a321a4-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221833-f6c09b9e-me.jpg

I was late so I called it a night and like always I a sure this wire routing will change tomorrow.

[syborg tt]

I noticed the Holley Cylinder Head ground wire was really close to being pinched by the line clamp. So I removed it
from the back of the Cylinder Head and ran the wire further down the loom.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221906-5c8e4cc1-me.jpg

It is now at least one inch from the line clamp

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221752-0604f4bf-me.jpg

[syborg tt]

This is not like me to leave my tools out.

Apparently, I was very tired and just didn't have it in me to clean up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221916-ae6eea08-me.jpg

Today, I will be finishing up the connection to the fan and the battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221925-78e99376-me.jpg

I started running the wires to the fan like I had originally planned but that quickly changed.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221930-e4940649-me.jpg

I will need to make the hole a little bigger so I can put in a grommet. Which will allow me to run the wires safely through this hole.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221933-effcc8e9-me.jpg

I used Vaseline on the drill bit to capture the metal shavings.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221936-1b7ec81f-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221945-e408616f-me.jpg

The hole is bigger and the grommet fits perfectly.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221947-449ed086-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221949-5d1fe8b7-me.jpg

I taped the three wires together to make it easier to route them.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220221955-07a3b516-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/20/20230220222038-14af908e-me.jpg

You can see there is about 3" of excess wire.

I'm sure you have already verified this, but does the sway bay make contact with the tow bar when the car is on jackstands?

I'm sure you have already verified this, but does the sway bay make contact with the tow bar when the car is on jackstands?

It actually sits in front of the sway bar so there are no issue's

I will get better pictures (( Side Shots )) today and add it to this post.

Marty,

Since it seems like you’re near the finish line; how do you plan to use it…and how often?

I love these connectors

I staggered these so I didn't have a bulky section in the wire loom.

I still have to remove the Painless Performance relay and make the final battery connections. Which I plan to do tomorrow.

[syborg tt]

So I went and did it as I ordered a box today from Amazon. Of course I also ordered a drip tray for my lift and a couple Spectra Air Filters.

Marty,

Since it seems like you’re near the finish line; how do you plan to use it…and how often?

I needed to run to Home Depot for a few 5/16'' Fender Washer (no I didn't as I found them days later) so I could secure the Anvil inners to the fender.

Since it seems like you’re near the finish line; how do you plan to use it…and how often?

[syborg tt]

I'm sure you have already verified this, but does the sway bay make contact with the tow bar when the car is on jackstands?


Here is a nice side shot.

It has about 3/16” gap which is hard to see in the picture.

Once again I played with the intake tube so I can get the bracket made to support the intake tube.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/22/20230222141505-0062e346-me.jpg

I used the blue tape to reference where the tubes need to be once the clamps are tight. What you can't see is how
far I had to push everything into the couplers.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/02/22/20230222141514-a6ea25d4-me.jpg

You can see where I plan to install the bracket from the fan shroud to the intake tube.

they are now tight and at the proper angle so they are above the frame rail.

[syborg tt]

I ordered this bracket a long long time ago and somehow misplaced it. When I ordered I told Dave at Screaming Chicken
that the best way to find it is to order another one. Well, I was correct as the day I went out to the garage to install the
bracket I found the first one I ordered.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170301-e8636261-me.jpg

Step One - Remove the DBW Assembly

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170316-2d581ebb-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170320-4f929129-me.jpg

Step Two - Remove the factory pedal.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170324-b38bfe8f-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170328-9be2525e-me.jpg

Step Three - Cut out this Template

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170333-6f61ccfd-me.jpg

Step Four - Place the Template and Drill a hole in the target.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170341-ce7b5abe-me.jpg

Step Five -- Remove my bad ass Billet Pedal

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170351-7cef5e16-me.jpg

Pictures for reference

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170400-5a43aa99-me.jpg

Step Six -- Install Pedal on the new bracket from the guys at Screaming Chicken.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170403-7ae540d0-me.jpg

One of the features I like with this bracket is it allows me to move the pedal over roughly 1/4"
which I think is what I need to miss the carpet on the trans tunnel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170407-f0278e32-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170421-4985c900-me.jpg

Eventually I did move it over to the other side and it clears the carpet

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/01/20230301170423-e95fc5c3-me.jpg

One thing that I will have to do is replace the nut that I am using as a spacer. If you are using a factory
pedal you won't have this issue.

Good job on the pedal!

I know I'm the minority here but every time I see an K&N air filter I think back to this story my buddy told me last year - how he'll never use a K&N air filter again.

He had 2 different vehicles with problems resulting purely from those filters.

"It's the oil on them. It ruined the MAF sensors. 01 Silverado and 18 Diesel Cruze. 65,000 miles and 82,000 respectively and poof! Sensors went bad."

FWIW I guess.

I have heard the same story's and if I put 60,000 miles on this car and a sensor or two go bad I am going to be happy as it means i am actually driving the car.

Since I am using the Afco LS Radiator setup which is larger then the stock radiator I need to modify this beautiful Anvil Carbon

cover. They do have one that matches and they are taking very good care of me and sending me one that matches perfectly.

Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

Nice pedals! Making good progress.

If it wasn't for your bracket I wouldn't be able to use this pedal and I can't wait to show everyone the other stuff I bought from you.

Very good progress as usual Marty...

Slowly but surely I will get this car back on the road. On a side note I have a new appreciation for the guys that do this full time. Man is it a bunch of work.

[syborg tt]

Once again Dr EFI Andrew to the rescue. Since, I had given up on moving the wire (Yes I failed and so did a couple other Guys ) Andrew
told me to ship it to him and less then a week later it was back and it worked perfect.

Thank you again Andrew you are the best !!!

Another quick trip to on the four Home Depots within 3 miles of my home. I purchase yet another (can't find mine)
2" Hole Saw. My plan is to drill a slightly smaller hole then necessary which will allow for a tighter fit.

Routing the wires for the Holley Dash

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314142425-92316542-me.jpg

I tried to make the power wires look factory even though no one will ever see them.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314142428-bc32a32a-me.jpg

Of course I labeled all of them.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314142431-9fe6bab3-me.jpg

Since I am not using the factory radio I am going to use the power from the radio harness to power the Holley Dash.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314142434-a88c4f64-me.jpg

I dug out the wiring diagram for the radio so I know where to connect the wires.

I just want to say the guys at Anvil are the best. I called them and told them my closeout panel didn't match the inner fenders
and the new radiator cover. Immediately I received an email from them and they took unbelievable care of me.

Here is the new piece that arrived in the mail days later.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314142654-eb0391c4-me.jpg

It's a perfect match and they have unbelievable, customer service and I can't say enough kind words.

Okay, this was fun. Time to reshape the carpet with the Heat Gun and it is very important that you heat the backside of the carpet not the front.

Yes, I did and since I have memory issues (side effect of chemo) this really helps me when I am working on the car.

That's awesome !!!

[syborg tt]

It's all about the detail and being able to service / get to / find all of the wires if your on the side of the road broke down.

I need/want to route the wiring for the neutral safety switch through one of the shifter brackets versus around the bracket. Doing this will
direct it straight up to the firewall. I took a couple reference pictures so I don't have to try to remember where the wires plug in. The
good news is I can only actually screw up two of the wires.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314142820-ad6215e7-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314142822-431887a1-me.jpg

Sorry this is a terrible picture but the bracket is laying on the carpet is the one that needs to be modified.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314143248-bf9c71c5-me.jpg

I started by using smaller drill bits stepping them up slowly till I got to the 5/8'' bit. I tried to use a step bit but that SOB ripped
the bracket right out of my hand.

Trust me using the 1/2 drill scares me but I did drill very slow.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314143251-5413cbfa-me.jpg

After the hole was drilled I filed it into a square hole since no one make a square drill bit. Well that is a lie as the do
make them for wood working. Trust me look it up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/14/20230314143246-00bbbbf7-me.jpg

It took a couple tries to get the size correct.

I need to find a pre-bent hose from the Autoparts store that will jog around the massive Anvil Carbon Inner Fenders.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323201517-e0b54fe0-me.jpg

I also need to make sure the battery wires are not effected by the location of the hoses.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323201507-1180efac-me.jpg

Hose # 1 would have been perfect if only it was a 5/8's hose.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323201523-6c087061-me.jpg

I am finally installing the Autometer Clock wire harness and as you can see I stacked the clocks instructions with
the American Auto Wire instructions below it.

Since I am going to pull the power and lights on from the headlight switch I needed to find the switch. Well, I search for
it for 20 minutes and then realized I had already installed on the Classic Dash surround. DA !!!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323201602-64be3cf0-me.jpg

I powered the car back up and plugged in the switch and started testing the circuits
till I found the two I needed. The one that is labeled Ign On is actually lights on.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323201612-fbec2d09-me.jpg

More questions about the label maker.... what labels are you using? Is it actually a tube that you are sliding over the wire then the clear heat shrink over that?
Saw the link for the actual label maker.....

The good news is you’re printing directly on the heat shrink. Then you slide the clear heat shrink over the shrunk printed yellow heat shrink.

You all know I like my lists so I made another one for this week.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323201944-5400b2a2-me.jpg

First up I am finally securing the heaters hose in the inner fender.

More needed parts from ICT Billet

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323202009-2e1349c2-me.jpg

Now that I have all the pieces I need to make the connection I just need the balls to cut the hoses.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323202012-c6840edc-me.jpg

Well I couldn't do it so I moved on to the battery ground wire that is now neatly tucked under the battery tray.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323202030-6c5a7f7f-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323202032-e7e360b9-me.jpg

With the battery wire sitting so close to the lower radiator hose I decided to wrap it in DEI Heat Wrap.

I am pulling power and lights on from the headlight switch for the clock.

It has been a long long time since I center stripped a wire.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323201932-a529cf49-me.jpg

I twist connected the wires and the Autometer Clock powered up. Yahooooo

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/27/20230327164010-222293d6-me.jpg

Of course I labeled everything first.

Marty,

What’s nice with the simplicity of your build is that on a road trip you can pull into any Chevy dealer if you need repairs!

That was the idea when I was building it and Remy sure is a blast to have around.

Once I get through a section of the build I write myself a new task list which helps to keep me focused. (( !! Squirrel !! ))

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/03/23/20230323201944-5400b2a2-me.jpg

It also helps with my memory issue's

[camcojb]

Keeping notes is a very good idea, especially since many of these projects are done over a long period of time.

I am finally finishing up the Vintage Air hose routing.

more to follow

[syborg tt]

Due to the location of the Battery Hot Wire I am going wrap a small area of the wire in DEI Heat Wrap and will
then add a thin abrasion wrap to protect the wire and make it black so it disappears in the engine bay.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152652-a9b508d5-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152658-6398699c-me.jpg

I am going to shorten the DEI Heat wrap and install the abrasion wrap once it gets past the lower radiator hose.

Thanks for taking the time to post all of this information!

[syborg tt]

Today I will be working on the Battery Hot and the Vintage Air Heater Hose with the ICT Billet Hose Connectors.


http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152739-daefea20-me.jpg

I mocked up the wire routing using Velcro straps which will eventually be replaced with Heat Shrink Tubing.

The fun looking one

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152800-9662a6c5-me.jpg

If I screw this up I have to remove the inner fender to replace the hose.

For reference

Have I ever told you guys how much I love wiring...

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152834-baaffa0a-me.jpg

This time I took out the battery

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152836-7ed8ee7a-me.jpg

I love these butt connectors

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152832-6b939033-me.jpg

Since I am not using this ground wire I just capped it off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152842-34650a5e-me.jpg

I need to rewrap the headlight harness

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152844-c7a7817b-me.jpg

Soon the steering wheel will be removed as it always seem to be in the way.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152850-5e070910-me.jpg

What a mess !!!

[syborg tt]

I finally had time to get back out in the garage and work on the car.

I am holding the Autometer Clock harness and trying to decide where I am going to route it.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152859-8421f17f-me.jpg

I wired it into the nearby circuit breaker

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410152907-27336150-me.jpg

I relocated the dash ground ( per Holley instructions ) to the Kick Panel Ground Stud

Do you have a part number for the door panels??

Here ya go

[syborg tt]

Here we go !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154117-1ea0fa48-me.jpg

First up is to install the Vintage Air Unit.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154119-ca74e717-me.jpg

Since I have no hair on my head I started wearing a very thin skull cap from Headsweat. It's not a true Bump Cap so l am calling
it a Tap Cap as it gives me warning that I am about to hit my head on something.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154122-f49751c5-me.jpg

I sprayed the drain hose with WD40 Silicone to help it slide through the floor drain grommet.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154124-5091db8a-me.jpg

Of course the fun part is installing all of the nuts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154127-7977ccbe-me.jpg

It's hopefully hanging for the last time.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154130-f956bf8c-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154135-69abaaeb-me.jpg

I double nutted the Relay's to make sure they don't fall off. I had planned to use a Nylock nut like I did on the other's but felt it might be brutal to have to remove while laying under the dash.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154138-de5290e8-me.jpg

I am stilling trying to decide if I am going to run the Neutral Safety Switch wiring under the carpet. However, I am going to use the Orange & White wire for my under dash lighting.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154132-71c44832-me.jpg

A small feeling of accomplishment

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154140-9bb97729-me.jpg

Honey I am going in...hopefully for the last time.

Holy Crud that is a mess of wires.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154150-ce9d4c9c-me.jpg

A long long time ago I made this really cool bracket to mount the Holley ECU and today hopefully will be the last time I hold it in my hand.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154152-0bab536b-me.jpg

Since the top two bolts will be difficult to reach I am just going to install studs to support the ECU. I am even add wing nuts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154154-9cb8252c-me.jpg

Test Fitting the bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154203-9dd537d9-me.jpg

I will be using the weld studs to hold the bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154223-bb85e19e-me.jpg

Bonding the four studs and now it is Taco Time.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154230-d35a97a9-me.jpg

I need to shorten the studs just a little.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154228-1d7fc493-me.jpg

Opps

Well, I was going to install the dash and it seems I can't find the clips !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/10/20230410154259-0d100616-me.png

Instead I will work on the final wiring.

Always make sure you take a picture of how the wires are run.

Thankfully D&R Classics is close enough for me to drive to so I picked up the needed clips for the Dash Pad install. (( 04-03-23 ))

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/14/20230414160601-5fb9ecef-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415105058-0a24adac-me.jpg

04-04-23

So this is strange the outside studs are metric and the inside studs are standard.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415105057-1024ef29-me.jpg

Not any more !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415105102-fb06fb96-me.jpg

I noticed the outside edges of the leather needed some adhesive so I decided to tackle this small project and call it a night.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415105104-9e6ef1ba-me.jpg

If you don't own a pair of these I suggest you buy a pair as they will precisely cut paper and then cut thin
sheet metal. I have been using these for months and they still work like new.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415105106-9d3e8499-me.jpg

[syborg tt]

This is big as the blue tape is finally coming off the metal part of the dash.

I loosely installed all of the clips to make it easier to install the dash pad.

I gently placed the dash in the car since I will be doing it solo.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415105045-c768abb1-me.jpg

I tried to physically push the dash pad in to engage the clips and that didn't work at all. So, I moved to Plan B and removed
the all of the clips except the two middle clips. This allowed me to push the dash pad in and fell like it wasn't going to fall on
me while I laid under the dash and put the clips in and then slid the studs into the clips. It's very important not to tighten
any of the nuts till all of the clips are installed.

Well it looks like I am going to illuminate the Fasten Seat Belt Light as I like how it looks.

Last few nuts are now tight and I did install Nylock nuts over the nuts to make sure they don't come loose.

Looking in where the Dash surround will be I am very happy with my wiring as it is all easily accessible.

It's time to make the Classic Dash surround fit into my dash area due to the leather wrap.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415104032-e54df351-me.jpg

The first thing I need to do is remove the Headlight Switch, Digital Dash and Autometer Clock.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415104023-c42974fc-me.jpg

Instead of shaving a couple millimeters off the supplied bracket I chose to install two washer. On final install a star washer
as it will prevent the bolts from coming loose.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415104028-3372a147-me.jpg

As you can see I removed a lot of material.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/15/20230415104034-5feb614f-me.jpg

I need to enlarge the hole in the headlight switch and ended up pulling out the special drill bits to get it nice and tight.

I needed to pick up a piece of flat stock so I could install the dash surround as the holes don't line up and also need a spacer.

Time to trim more of the Classic Dash Surround

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/16/20230416130546-da498f5a-me.jpg

Funny story. I was at the Doctor a couple of weeks ago and the Dermatologist used this little marker
on leg. Since I love Green & Blue I asked her if I could have the marker since they have to throw it out after they use
it. She said yes and thankfully I had it as I tried ever marker I had to mark the hole that I need to drill and nothing
worked. I decided to look in my truck and I found it and it worked perfectly.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/16/20230416130547-1fd6647b-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/16/20230416130551-437b378e-me.jpg

I mounted the bracket to the dash bracket with a nut and bolt (sorry no picture) however before i installed I screwed the
sheet metal screw into so it would be easier to install the surround.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/16/20230416130553-a9648a45-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/04/16/20230416130605-83be13d8-me.jpg

As far as what goes in the hole in your dash, how about making this emoji functional…:G-Dub: Just press it every time you think of something else the ‘70 needs…and it automatically sends $500 to Holley, ARP etc.

Man I'm so happy to see the blue tape exiting the scene!!

Great job Marty!

After you get the dash together, might want to calibrate the vintage air controls to make sure you're getting full sweep of all the stepper motors in the base. If you have a gen IV setup, follow this procedure, had to use it recently on a car I was working on. Doesn't matter if you have the knob setup or factory style, calibration is calibration.:thumbsup:

I will be honest the 35k I spent on the Cayman has to be the best money I have ever spent. However, it did slow the progress of the Camaro and thank you for the kind words.

Hi All,

There has not been a lot of progress lately due to lack of time. The charity (www.ridejanieride.org ) that I part of main
event is coming up this weekend and I can't wait. I have been trying to sneak out whenever possible.

It's finally time to tuck the wires under the carpet in the TechFlex undercarpet flat weave.

I needed connect the fuel level wire to the Holley ECU and of course I forget to run the wire down the passenger
side of the car. I did however run it down the drivers side but Holley wire I needed was on the passenger
side. So, now i have to neatly behind the Vintage Air Unit. Which turned out to be a major pain the backside.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525114214-721a8f2b-me.jpg

I of course wrapped the shifter brackets with a towel as they are sharp as can be.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525114216-79127416-me.jpg

Hopefully this will be the last time I have to lift the carpet up. It's time to secure the Kicker wires that head to the trunk.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525114507-f94d0631-me.jpg

I need to give a shout out to Dotty at D&R Classics for hanging out at the store for me to get there 5 minutes before
closing. I can't thank them enough as they are so nice to work with and they always seem to have everything I need for
my car.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525114411-d2a9f325-me.jpg

I needed water shields for the doors

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525114738-c03bc630-me.jpg

From D&R I headed to my warehouse to grab the back seat, sail panels and the rear kick panels.

If you guys haven't noticed the new vendor on Lat-G please go take a look at Screaming Chicken as they have some nice stuff.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525114523-70fa494b-me.jpg

All of this needs to go inside the car.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525115026-ab141960-me.jpg

Planning where my door pulls are going to be installed is going to be fun as they have to clear the Ride Tech Tiger Cage Door Bars.

Okay, So I assure you I said a slew of choice words installing the final hardware for the Tiger Cage main hope. It's not the fault of
the bar it's the kick panels are so close to two of the bolts that you basically have to tighten the bolts a 1/4 turn at a time.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525115050-1cd7e427-me.jpg

I laid in the wire gutters and they need some serious cleaning, prep and paint.

I coated them with the Eastwood rust convertor paint and hoped for no rain.

I secured the leather from the package tray to the rear panel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525115202-a534d216-me.jpg

Up next it was time to install the rear kick panels.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525115205-735966f5-me.jpg

I discovered two issues. One being the Hoop is in the way and the other is a bump in the kick panel that runs into the DSE Wheel tubs.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525115207-3cc342b3-me.jpg

Time to cut out a big chunk of plastic. I peeled back the leather and started cutting with my new shears.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525115214-2f623bca-me.jpg

Of Course I had to do the same on the other side.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525115216-f68e27f9-me.jpg

Quess what the hoop is in the way of the kick panel wrapping around the "B" pillar. Ugh !!!!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/05/25/20230525115218-ccf5d881-me.jpg

About 30 or 40 minutes later both kick panels were installed.

It's in, well kinda the bottoms are not as I still need to pad the hump and install the leather piece that goes over the hump.

So I spent a little bit of time on the phone with Holley and they have no clue why it's leaking. They suggested I buy a new sensor and to use a Hi Temp Thread Sealant.

One of my Pet Peeves is the Coolant overflow Tank drain. I hate when you have to drain it and it goes

Dennis at High Speed Welding made some modification on the Coolant hose to help keep the hose in place.

Test fitting the lower hose to make sure there is a sufficient gap.

I brushed on a little paint and primer in one gloss black. I am sure that I will powder coat these again next Winter.

Okay, here is what we know and here is how we solved it.

Apparently the guys at Wagner put in a adapter in the block and left it open when they shipped it
to me. I was able to figure that out by all of the pictures I took.

Thank God !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232628-26e130c0-me.jpg

I tried one last adapter and of course it didn't fit.

Trying to figure out what actually goes in that hole has become a giant pain in the butt.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232630-e879042c-me.jpg

Hopefully, this will be the last time these hoses go on.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232644-bd8eeb98-me.jpg

Lower hose went on very easy

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232648-e9e3c4d8-me.jpg

Thankfully I have an assortment of small tools that made it easy to install and tighten the hose clamp.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232650-81f53fb2-me.jpg

I did need to trim just a little bit of the hose.

Trying to decide how I am going to secure the Vintage Air wire to the AC Hose. (( I'm looking for some cool idea's ))

I moved to the underside of the car since I remembered that I needed to cap a sensor that I may use in the future.

[syborg tt]

Here is what I know there was something in that hole and I remember it. However, I have no clue where it is.

This time I decided to remove the Wiring that was in the way to make it easier to try to figure out what the heck the adapter is.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232728-453e2c52-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232730-f25cf29a-me.jpg

When the car came apart there was a plug in the back of the block. So, I decided to spent some more time looking through
all of the parts that where in the attic and in the trunk of the car and I finally found it !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232739-564ffd8e-me.jpg

Of course I put it in and it works.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232741-5aa414ae-me.jpg

In the end it is a -4 ORB fitting that Kenny modified to close up the hole.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232737-fc4c9c56-me.jpg

(( 06-13-23 ))

I headed over to High Speed Welding to have him make the fitting I needed which is a -4 to 1/8 NPT

I just ran out of time and I want to get this car on the road this year. Even if it kills me it will be driving soon.

Glad you got that leak figured out. It's the stupid little things that can really drive you nuts.

Mocking Up the intake tube for the last time before I make the final cuts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/14/20230614232816-2881a5c8-me.jpg

I need to take off at lease an inch off of the end going into the throttle body and at least 2" off the end going into the hump hose by the radiator.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/19/20230619165340-be69935f-me.jpg

You can see that I will also be cutting the 2nd half of the intake tube as well.

I need a quick and easy project as I only had an hour. So I decided to install the Fesler Door Vents.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/19/20230619165343-ec5417f1-me.jpg

Somewhere along the way of me sticking my hand in this hole the paint got chipped and the metal got a little bent.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/19/20230619165349-14b5a261-me.jpg

I modified my Vise-Grips as not to cause any more paint damage.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/19/20230619165347-bb6418aa-me.jpg

They say it is all about the details so the Zinc coated bolts are going to have to go. The funny part is the only
people that will ever notice the Zinc coated bolt will be the people looking at the underside of the car.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/19/20230619165405-2e442276-me.jpg

The main purpose is to have studs so I don't have to try to get the bolts into the floor through the carpet. I also
like the idea of not having to kneel on the seat stud.

[syborg tt]

Continuing on with the Seat Stud Project.

Here is what I came up with.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/27/20230627150605-5f443ab0-me.png

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/27/20230627150613-d8a81488-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/27/20230627150615-4805864b-me.jpg

Since, I am using studs I will need to make sure none of the sound deadening in the threads. The tool of choice
is a nut driver and all you have to do is gently move the sound deadening back.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/27/20230627150618-9519dcdf-me.jpg

Just stick in the hole and wiggle it around.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/06/27/20230627150621-7f0e27be-me.jpg

Studs are in now i just need to smooth back the sound deadening.

I am doing this because I can't remember for the life of me if the car had Dot 3 or Dot 4 and it's also possible I mixed them. So I am sucking all the fluid out and starting over.

I love these Velcro straps and I will be using them to secure the wire for the Vintage Air.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/07/20230707152818-cba261d8-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/07/20230707152820-11c4480f-me.jpg

Eventually I will hide the wire behind the line.

[syborg tt]

Today I will be working with the one arm man. I needed to get him out of the house so he could feel somewhat human again.

Since the line was in the car and I wasn't removing it we went to plan "B". We ran the line through a small hole right above the inner fender and out under the headlight.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711141749-e75144e0-me.jpg

We raised the car up just high enough to let the line reach the crimping tool.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711141752-4b8d5558-me.jpg

Finally crimped and attached to the AC compressor.

Let's just say this was a big learning experience.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711141808-5607b427-me.jpg

Per the instructions we made all of the connections an applied Air to create a vacuum. Well, we were only able to
get 5 bars which is not even close to the 20 we need. This meant we had leaks and most likely more then one.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711141810-e215cb8f-me.jpg

Found leak number one.
Apparently I had the clamp to close to the end of the hose which caused the leak.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711142534-69fbdb09-me.jpg

Leak number 2 & 3 had the same issue.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711142538-49b94935-me.jpg

yes this one sucked to get to

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711142546-e4ba6fd7-me.jpg

Years ago I made this block and it is the exact same height as the lift and man did it come in handy that day.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711142552-7897eea5-me.jpg

I moved all of them down and this issue has been resolved.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711142554-91543d89-me.jpg

Next up with the thermostat housing.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711142558-7f62f480-me.jpg

Well, this one was all my fault. I picked up a thermostat for and LS1 not remembering that this motor has the
Wagner front drive and a new water pump. So let's just say it leaked.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711142602-62745633-me.jpg

If you look the distance between the factory holes is about 1" shorter which should work perfect.

Remember no matter how small the project is getting just one of them done when you only have an hour.

It's still a completed project.

Another simple project that took much longer then I expected.

Swapping out the fuse for a circuit breaker.

Since the intake tube is just literally just hanging off the throttle body I need to finish the support bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711154332-e325e8ff-me.jpg

I have desire to remove the fan shroud to make holes so Self-Taping screws to the rescue.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711154334-07de9e0e-me.jpg

I can't seem to find my 1/4" adapter for my drill so I am going to improvise.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711154339-308e2d8a-me.jpg

Since the cardboard bracket won't be strong enough I am going to run over to High Speed Welding after work
tomorrow and have him make me an aluminum version.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711154445-c3c4f385-me.jpg

yep, the screw is just short enough.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711154441-57351cf6-me.jpg

Well, I didn't notice it was crocket till I pulled the tape off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711154443-aed62802-me.jpg

Oddly enough the tube runs up on a slight angle to it works perfect

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/11/20230711154828-7e1da1f4-me.jpg

It's hard to see but there are rubber grommets the bolts go through so I will be using Nylock Nuts so I don't have to
worry about them coming loose. You can also see the bolt that is on the intake tube that I will be using to secure
the intake tube to the bracket.

Very early in the morning I dropped off my cardboard template and as Dennis at High Speed Welding to duplicate this in Aluminum.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/18/20230718173800-d0962333-me.jpg

I applied some putty over the screws that protrude into the tranny tunnel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/18/20230718173821-90675fad-me.jpg

I added some of the supplied oil to the vintage air fittings.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/18/20230718173835-d13fd42d-me.jpg

I have been dreading this project as my brain keeps telling me it's all going to go wrong. Honestly, All I need to do is replace
a bolt that is way to long. You can see I set the car up on the jack so I could take the weight off the suspension.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/18/20230718174317-1d2e1e8b-me.jpg

I also supported the suspension to prevent movement.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/18/20230718174239-087600b3-me.jpg

This Bolt !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/18/20230718174210-0fa0b5f6-me.jpg

Doing this by myself doesn't sound like a great idea and since I can't find my long extension I just stacked a bunch together.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/18/20230718174328-5f9c38d0-me.jpg

I covered everything painted as I know the socket is going to fall of since I have to become a contortionist to complete this task.

The retaining clip was bad so just a another simple fix. I wrapped the sensor 2x with 3M High Temp electrical tape so it doesn't vibrate off.

Bracket has been removed and for now it's getting rattle canned with Wrinkle Black. Over the winter I will
have the fan shroud and bracket powdered to match the Intake tube.

Marty the car is looking awesome!! Can't wait for you to get some miles on it, time to burn the gas in the tank!

If you ever need hose clamps for filters, hit home depot or Lowe's. Go to the toilet hardware section, they sell nice stainless steel polished 4"+ clamps there. I bought a bag of them and keep in my garage for such occasions. Actually had to use one this weekend to install a tach in a 72 C10 :D

Welcome sir! Forgot to mention there's black hose clamps on Amazon, used them recently on a build, but unsure of how long the color will hold..

[syborg tt]

Not sure if you guys remember but I misplaced the original Thermostat after we found one at Autozone that
seemed to work or at least seal up the housing. Apparently I went to the autoparts store in the Cayman and
I must have put it in the Frunk (front trunk)).

I crossed reference the part number that was on it and the water pump is from an Escalade.

I've got the same exact torque wrench. Just so you don't have to find out the hard way, it only measures torque one way. After trying to torque reverse thread ring gear bolts I learned that..

OMG I never notice and that might be because I have never had to do a left hand thread before.

Holy crap and now that I say this I bet I will have to do this in the next couple months.

I recently put some new mag wheels on my old dodge truck
It has left hand threads on one side and figured out my torque
wrench only goes one way. After over 40 years of wrenching
this was the first time I had to torque something left handed

I adding this as a To Do List item as the nut that came with the DSE Box was incorrect. I think... they sent me a correct one but I have no clue where it is.

So we have another leak most likely because the car has been on this rack since April 24, 2019. The funny thing is my
goal was for the car to be down for one year. Doing just a simple Holley Sniper Swap and then like everything I do I
kinda lost my mind and decided to do 90% of the crazy idea's in my head.

Ha !!!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730135904-689847c6-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730140008-7b34f00d-me.jpg

I installed the door handle screws from the back side to see if the holes in the door panels actually line up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730140032-b05fa65e-me.jpg

All that is left is to cut out the hole for the door handle.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730140249-db645963-me.jpg

I installed a 1" washer under each of the door pulls to protect the leather.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194351-8f0edea4-me.jpg

So, it's time to remove the mock up battery and install the really Optima Red Top.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194353-85a2916f-me.jpg

Well we have a small issue. I am using a grade 8 Zinc coated bolt and washer and the washer is slightly larger then the bolt which
is interfering with the hold down bracket. So, the bolt is coming out and I am going to file a flat spot in the washer and attempt to
line it up with the bolt head. Which will give me just enough space to clear the bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194358-be463c1b-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194411-57dc55e8-me.jpg

I increased the diameter of the inside of the washer so it would sit perfectly flat.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194414-a8914b3e-me.jpg

Just a little more please

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194416-68adcedd-me.jpg

This was fun...not !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194419-688b7351-me.jpg

Nope, the washer rotated so I need to do it again.

This time around I started with the washer flat spot a little further back (counter clockwise) so when the bolt contacted
the washer it would move in sync with the bolt head. It took a couple try's to line up the flat spot with the nut on each bolt.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194421-59fd45dc-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/07/30/20230730194428-41355dc9-me.jpg

In order to tighten the bolts I had to move the Vintage Air hoses.

I need to shorten one of the inner fender bolts as it is way to close to one of the vintage air hoses.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/07/20230807182849-591de067-me.jpg

I also noticed it was bent and preventing which was preventing it from actually killing the battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/07/20230807182902-57efa8d0-me.jpg

I added SAE washers to the top post wires so they would stop moving when I tightened the bolt.

This inner fender bolt was protruding into the area near where the coolant hoses are. So just to be safe I shortened the bolt a little bit.

Trust me we put on anti-seize however I can confirm it was not enough

In the late 70's I had a 71 Camaro with a small block and 6-71 blower. I remember installing some Moroso anodized aluminum blower studs in the new Weiand intake by hand. Next day I went to remove them and several were like welded in place. Couldn't believe it, destroyed them getting them out. That's when I first learned about anti-sieze and the reason for using it lol.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/07/20230807183433-fead4aad-me.jpg

Added another strip to the top of the door.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/07/20230807183504-6373a346-me.jpg

I also added a little bit of Gorilla Tape.

Back out the garage I go.

Six months from now I am going to no clue where this wire goes to so once again I am adding a label.

Oh my god this is the funniest thing I have ever heard.

I don’t speak from experience, but one of the guys at my station actually did that. It quite a sight to see. 🤣🤣🤣

[Cramer4918]

I put the battery on the charger so I could start it up net weekend. It took about 20 hours to get to a full charge.

I have an Optima Red Top. Hopefully I won’t need to invest in the charger to get mine fired up.

Loving the progress and updates, Marty! :thumbsup:

[syborg tt]

Went for Tacos and I decided to go back out in the garage.

I noticed my battery shutoff wasn't working correctly and I think I found the problem. This is supposed to be perfectly flat
and as you can see it is bent which most likely was from me bending negative battery wires terminal.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/07/20230807183640-7e6b7e70-me.jpg

I was temporarily able to straighten it and problem is solved and a new one is on order.

You should get one of these chargers regardless, the new optimas are not as good as the old ones, and you should use these charges if you leave the car sit for any amount of time.

Drivers Side

Getting a bunch of little stuff done today was the goal.

I picked up some OER Kick Panels from D&R Classic the other day and today I am going to modify
them to fit. I can say these are a very nice piece and I highly recommend them.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/19/20230819105512-3b1c782e-me.jpg

Need to make sone modifications so I can get them in.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080541-86c72004-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080526-4b558b61-me.jpg

Test fitting and they fit exactly how they are supposed to fit. Now I just need to make the modification needed so they work
around all of the wiring that I have added to this area.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080548-b10d6c41-me.jpg

Love this tape.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080557-1c11804f-me.jpg

I am going to take a little bit more off this side.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080552-d5b61bb0-me.jpg

Once I am happy I will put some Tech-Flex wrap around these wires.

[syborg tt]

Passenger Side

As you can see there will be more cutting on the Passenger side.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080600-5eb42fb5-me.jpg

I still need to clean up the back side

Test Fitting

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080623-3675e398-me.jpg

Need to remove a little bit more.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080625-961e0c33-me.jpg

Looking much better

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080632-511a842b-me.jpg

and were taking off some more

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080637-750cfd0c-me.jpg

It's hard to tell but I lowered the tap again and made a new cut line.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080640-4ca85acf-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080645-1c1d2ada-me.jpg

Cutting is complete !!!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080649-7f3ddeeb-me.jpg

I plan to fill in the holes and then drop these off at Mr Trim's so they can wrap them in leather.

[syborg tt]

Today was a very weird day as this was my 11 year chemo start date anniversary and I really didn't feel like working on the
car so I decided to go out and look for the Holley EFI communication cable that I misplaced and whatever else I could find.

I spent an hour cleaning up and organizing parts and pieces and then I found the Holley Cable on the wiper cowl.

Which of course was right in front of my face the entire time.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080653-0e4f6561-me.jpg

I put the Anvil Radiator cover on and wow is this a nice piece.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080700-7ea5762a-me.jpg

Found my hood hinges that Pro-Tek Powder Coating did for me many years ago. They are coated in dust (top rack in my warehouse)
and since I don't need them now they are going to stay right where they are.

My Jack Russell is scared of loud noises so he wont come in the shop.

[syborg tt]

My good buddy Ron happened to be traveling through the area and he decided to spend the night. Ron also happens to
be building my old Green 70 Camaro. His brother is doing the paint and body and it is stunning.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220203914-2a1a44d5-me.jpg

While he was here he went over my car looking at everything and taking mental notes. I had just made a comment that
I couldn't find the G-Force Crossmember shim stack and 1 second later he goes this one.

I spent at least an hour looking for it and it was still on the rack right where I put it.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080705-e374be8d-me.jpg

We climbed in the car and he looked at everything and I did my best to show him as much as I could remember. The of
course the Garage Supervisor showed up to have a talk Man to Dog with him.

I had a little bit of time tonight so I went out and did another small project.

My plan is to add Techflex wrap to the battery wires to give it a finished look.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080709-c29ef8b7-me.jpg

Need to get out the hot knife to recut Techflex wrap.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080735-669b594f-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080711-91ad236e-me.jpg

The yellow wire loop is strictly there to hold the terminal cover on. I plan to come up with a tag that says something funny or absurd.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080715-67303040-me.jpg

Added a small piece of electrical tape to get the fuse at the right angle so I could easily see it.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080722-6fd24da1-me.jpg

All Better or should I say good enough.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080724-85774be3-me.jpg

I also removed the blue tape off the Anvil Carbon Inner Fender.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080727-5235878b-me.jpg

It's slowly but surely getting there.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080730-4d230bd3-me.jpg

I still need to figure out something for the ground kill switch.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080732-b3e658c9-me.jpg

[syborg tt]

Since I bent the first brass battery shut off switch I need to swap it out with one that isn't bent.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080739-955f7a21-me.jpg

I just hate the way the wires look on the kill switch.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080743-0d397ef8-me.jpg

I added a start washer so I don't have to worry about the bolts coming loose.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080747-93e5a50f-me.jpg

I think I am going to glue this board to the kneeling pad as I can't believe how useful it is.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080752-b94fd32a-me.jpg

I highly doubt this will be the last time I mess with the ground wiring.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/16/20230816080758-4e48a68f-me.jpg

Well I went and did it I now have a small padded cutting board.

So I am getting close to driving the car. Actually I could drive it but I just want to get some other stuff done before I drive it.

I dropped off the rims and tires at Village Auto for the guy to mount them and well the rear tires went on really easy. I can't say the same for the fronts.

Next project is the passenger side door panel.

As you can see the holes didn't really line up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172145-3d0f39d1-me.jpg

I gentle used the nut driver to push down on the backing to release it from the board so I could install the clips.

Everything lined up perfectly.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172222-8b2b3833-me.jpg

Since I have three points of contact (window crank & arm rest screws) I was able to used this for drilling all of the holes in the door.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172224-26d68b76-me.jpg

I cut a small opening for the door handle to see how close I got.

I took a day off from the car and it was nice couple days off.

Back to the car and back to the reason why I posted so many pictures in the last post. I am hoping the amount of pictures I added
showed the amount of time it took to just do a simple door panel. If I had to quess I have at least 8 hours into just this one door and
I am hoping the drivers side goes much faster.

When I walked out to the garage I realized it was getting cluttered and I needed to clean it up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/30/20230830111057-c212402e-me.jpg

Minutes later it looked like this.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/30/20230830111059-f8309dde-me.jpg

One hour later the floor was washed and the garage smelled like Simple Green and even made a table with the new wheels and tires.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/30/20230830111055-a4a463d0-me.jpg

My neighbors son came over and helped me with the door panel today. We marked all the holes that needed to be
drilled for the plastic clips and spent 15 minutes making holes and hoping they all were in the proper place.

We installed all of the clips on the back of the door panel.

I am finally cleaning up and moving the parts I no longer need to the Attic.

Of course I took a couple pictures so I remember what I put up there

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172306-7a4b3dd7-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172309-7f4f0394-me.jpg

Finally pulling the tape of the drivers door as it;s been on their since I rebuilt the hinges.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172304-275bb67d-me.jpg

Oh the fun.

So, this turned out to be much harder then I expected.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172314-ba28feb4-me.jpg

I couldn't get the stud started and I assumed it was because of the spring pressure.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172316-6249ebe4-me.jpg

Opps, I dropped it

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172317-180068f9-me.jpg

Since the part was freshly powder coated I added a small amount of heat shrink to the bottom of the spring to protect the paint.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172332-755be884-me.jpg

That was fun.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172335-f5c4fa76-me.jpg

Apparently it was the paint that was keeping it from starting.

On the defrost ducts you use the 2" version.

Of course I ran out of these and will need to go to Home Depot again.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172434-c3fc4f55-me.jpg

I needed to remove some paint off the upper dash support.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172437-1cc6124a-me.jpg

Apparently Remy needed to be closer to me and he even layed on top of me when I was lying under the dash.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172443-de37c1eb-me.jpg

I just don't like the other shut off as it looks like crap and it just doesn't work right.

Remy does really nice work lol

[Jimbo1367]

Marty,
I really dig the Mag Daddy clips you used. Great idea. The dash support you were tapping, is there only one of those? Where about does it go? I took my 70 apart about 6-8 yrs ago and I don’t remember those.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

Since, I am not actually using the factory lower dash I needed this to support to hold up the dash pad.

So here we go again.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172456-8867935d-me.jpg

First concept

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172513-361edf6e-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172503-d58b1a45-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/28/20230828172521-6f6f05fa-me.jpg

The switch will be located to the right of the battery hidden under the fender.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/01/20230901150148-83cdbcc5-me.jpg

I forgot to take the picture of it sitting on the yellow towel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/01/20230901150151-9d060ccb-me.jpg

ps I may go back and take a pictures so I have it for reference.

Here is the reference picture. (( Added 09-03-23 ))

I dropped off the cardboard mock the other day and I finally had time to pick it up from Dennis at High Speed Welding.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153735-5ac4f965-me.jpg

I plan to use one of the ''Raw'' Trays

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153737-596dfa59-me.jpg

Here we go

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153738-525a5729-me.jpg

First step is to remove the support bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153742-9e483905-me.jpg

Testing to see if what I came up with actually works

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153755-e263d41a-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153757-0135abcd-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153801-3e497716-me.jpg

I need to tap the small hole closest to the switch so I can bolt the bracket to the bottom of the tray. Since my eye's don't work as well as they used to I needed to take a picture of the tap.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153803-50ac342c-me.jpg

Drilled & Tapped

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153804-e1d349ce-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153806-8d3bc094-me.jpg

I covered the bracket in duct tape to protect the inner fender.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153808-195fd942-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/08/31/20230831153814-90fd3f2d-me.jpg

The support rod will go into the marked hole.

Simple solution and kinda hidden, I like it. :thumbsup:

[syborg tt]

Well I removed a couple things off the table today.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223908-1bebe88c-me.jpg

The wheels are heading over to Adams to get Ceramic Coated.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223911-5ca8084a-me.jpg

[syborg tt]

Adam texted this picture of the wheels

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223916-cce55aee-me.jpg

All better and coated

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223917-d0dd982d-me.jpg

[syborg tt]

Time to build the final ground wire and I have way to many wiring connectors.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223924-6f69676e-me.jpg

While the mock up battery was in the car I estimated the cut length of the cable.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223927-28cece2b-me.jpg

Looks good

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223930-511daae0-me.jpg

This was the point when I should have swapped to the Black Anodized tray.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223936-1be411a8-me.jpg

Confirming

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223937-1238e6c7-me.jpg

Crimping with my helper.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223940-8374b9bb-me.jpg

Heat Shrunk cable end.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223943-e0f3ec79-me.jpg

Confirming the gap.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223942-8bc067e9-me.jpg

I enlarged the holes to allow some wiggle room.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223947-8562c42a-me.jpg

Time to make some battery bolts. You can see that I used a shouldered nut and grimmped that in the vice and then I installed
the bolt and tightened it. At this point I can cut the bolt and not damage the visible nut.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223948-d675074c-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223950-59982b46-me.jpg

I also shortened the acorn nut to it didn't poke into the bottom of the battery case.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223952-4cd7c37c-me.jpg

Since the negative cable is close to these two nuts I swapped them out.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223955-dd0f11a4-me.jpg

Much better looking and of course they won't damage the ground wire.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903223953-8dae2984-me.jpg

If you look at the ground wire you can see I wrapped it in DEI Abrasion wrap.

Final Battery Bolts !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224016-482e8d9e-me.jpg

This is the hardware I will be using on the battery hold down brackets and I will be using star washers on all of the bolts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224019-4438a92e-me.jpg

I need to swap out the bolt circled in red as it will be supporting the AC line.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224022-3301e65a-me.jpg

Enlarging the holes so I don't have to go to Home Depot !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224027-f011f9c5-me.jpg

Test Fitting

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224032-115fb079-me.jpg

AC Hose secured.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224024-649001ea-me.jpg

The area circled in red was bent into the engine compartment and it sure did look like it was going to eventually cut through
the ground wire. So I gently bent it flat and added some black touch paint.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224034-8f2650bc-me.jpg

I also put a note reminding me that there is a Nylock nut on the other side.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224035-742cc3e3-me.jpg

I ended up going Hi-Vis

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224037-8a7989a8-me.jpg

More star washers and I also confirmed that the longer bolts would not poke through the bottom of the battery tray.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224039-7ec12a96-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224041-b555fe1b-me.jpg

I installed the bracket and tightened prior to installing the battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224043-36a8893c-me.jpg

I really hope this is the last time I have to lift this battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224046-b7ad8c0a-me.jpg

Ugh, I need to remove a little bit of plastic.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224048-f6b5b07e-me.jpg

Thankfully the utility knife worked.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224051-58d88781-me.jpg

It's in !!!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224052-678b8f69-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224054-941f5f3d-me.jpg

and it' off

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/03/20230903224057-6a59bd23-me.jpg

Vintage Air lines secured and it looks so much better.

Exactly and once I start driving the car I will keep you posted on how well it does.

I had Budnik do that to a set of their wheels on my GTO, made cleaning them like doing a chrome wheel. No more polishing, stayed much cleaner than a normal aluminum wheel.

Since the Optima needs constant charging with all of the on & off I have done with the ignition I decided to add the charge plug back on.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918213259-1e730bdb-me.jpg
