So I plugged away on the truck today. Helped the wife and MIL install some metal edging for a couple of hours and then truck time. When I replaced the water pump on the 95' Chevy last week I realized I had forgot to put thread sealant on the water pump in the 64'. So I was working on that today and realized the valve covers were not seating to the heads due to them hitting the Edelbrock intake that has some tabs that stick out. So after about 2 hours of carefully grinding those tabs off and some more off my beautiful new valve covers(I cringed when I did it) I got them seating all the way and buttoned them up and put thread sealer on them as well. You can barely notice where I ground on them. Firewall grommets installed and also cleaned, painted, and installed trans dipstick.
After that I got the heater all put back together with a new core and bolted to the firewall. Plus the main brake bracket inside and the inside heater part bolted in.
Classic was having a 20% off sale that ends today on purchases over $299. So I took the plunge and ordered the American Autowire Classic Update harness. Saved $110. Even with shipping it came out cheaper than anywhere else I have seen. I am super excited about this as it will keep me busy for the next few months and I will be able to fire and here the engine breathe again!
I took some shots from underneath. I still need to put my chrome trans pan on. Little by little getting there. I am ready to put the inner fenders back on now. I have the driver side ready. The passenger side needs the seal glued on.
I am still waiting on my firewall pad and front brake lines I ordered from Truckandcarshop on March 27th. They said last week they should be shipping out this coming week. Remember T.J. when I said patience is a virtue. I will not be ordering from them again as my experience with their customer service was lacking...
