Great point! I wasn't thinking about the rest of the stuff in there, that will make a big difference.

Thanks guys for the opinions, really helped me out!

**67cheby** · 10-22-2011, 03:29 PM

lol, well i ordered my Accuair stuff, and i have been working on my rear bed brace might have some pics on monday, depends on how much i get done tomorrow

RocketKing · 10-22-2011, 11:56 PM

I have been meaning to get some pics up of how the body work is going, the fenders and doors are ready for the last shot of primer and then a final wet sand, then ready to paint.

I have the hood and grille almost ready for the first round of primer.

**CAUTION** Do not tell everyone about how your hood is in such great shape and how it will take no time at all to get it roughed in... I made this mistake and the more I messed with the hood the worse it got... I swear the thing looks like someone stampeded a herd of goats over it...but really small, evil goats... with tiny hooves...

VA72C10 · 10-23-2011, 12:11 AM

Looking good and that's too funny about the hood....it always seems that way doesn't it...

gringoloco · 10-23-2011, 10:48 AM

Harness looks good

How much length do you have under dash? Where will the CPU mount?

Maybe only 2.5 - 3 feet of harness, doesn't seem as long as others I have seen. Of course if I hadn't been such a cheapskate I could have ordered a custom harness and had all the length I needed.

I am going to build a bracket and mount the CPU between the fuse block and the brake booster brace. I know the general location but I still have a few different ideas on how I exactly want it.

the tiny goat thing is killing me !! LOL

The only goat I want to see at my house is one with a Pontiac 389. lol

litew8 · 10-23-2011, 07:41 PM

Goats are mean. Maybe they're racoon prints or a fat cat. Don't like either.

mcbassin · 10-24-2011, 12:20 AM

Hate to tell ya it's not goats its HAIL ask me how I know.....2 cars totaled and my truck got $1000 worth of paintless dent repair in the last 2 years. Arkansas is not far from here and yes I hate hail.

Nice work on the body panels keep the pics coming.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-24-2011, 12:46 AM

Goats!

Those dang goats licked my rockers and the entire bottom of my truck and it ate it all away!

71Sleeper · 10-24-2011, 12:55 AM

Man, that is some serious hail damage in 2 years time!!

67chevy1series · 10-24-2011, 10:36 PM

thats sucks im glad california doesnt get much hail and hardly ever any snow!

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-25-2011, 01:46 AM

Ricky, shut up. You suck!

mcbassin · 10-26-2011, 09:25 PM

Rex,
What is the reason for keeping this one? I thought that all the original sending units are removed? Does the PCM look for over temp? I'm pretty sure I have cut this connector out.

RocketKing · 10-26-2011, 10:45 PM

I don't know about removing all original sending units. These wires were not removed in the diagram I used but I will double check tomorrow on what wire it is and make sure I am supposed to keep it. I let you know what I find out.

Thanks sorry for mucking up your thread.

What is your plan for exhaust? Are you doing your own? That will be next on my project after this eff wiring. I can't tell you how much it has frustrated me.

gringoloco · 10-27-2011, 09:01 AM

The coolant temperature is used by the ECM- it must be kept. You will have a VERY poor running engine without it...

Your not mucking up my thread, the way I look at it, we are figuring out problems that will help other people along the way, I can't tell you how many times I have done a search and found an answer to a problem I was working on in a thread. So muck away!! lol

I have always intended to have my exhaust done by someone who knows what the heck they're doin', but after seeing the jobs everyone else have been doing I am reconsidering. I have the mufflers bought sooooo...just a little tubing...
