That is an awesome and great idea, Marty! I may have to take you up in your offer when I get back in mine.

I’ve been looking at the Rivnut tool at Harbor Freight. That would definitely prove useful for my shifter and Holley Terminator mounts.

Seeing your updates is great motivation!

Thank you Matt and the Rivnut tool from Harbor Freight works good not great. But if you are only doing a few then who cares.

On a side note I also rent out the Fender Roller and Back Spacing tool and all of the money get's donated to the Charity.

Slip Yolk Travel (( 07-16-22 ) Got a Question...Need Advice
 

Back out in the garage and back at it.

The guys at Pro-Tek Powder Coating did an incredible job on the Yolk. However he may have put a little bit to much powder coating on the shaft.

So I have question how much inward travel should I expect ??

So how far in does it go until it bottoms out? If it bottoms out before hitting the powdercoated section you're good. Dennys Driveshafts wants 3/4" for forward movement, so if the driveshaft is installed and car at ride height, if the powdercoated area is 1" or more back from the seal you're good.

Of course you can always sand some coating off to give yourself more room if needed. Tape off the clean part of the yoke and touch up the end of the powdercoating with matching paint, nobody will notice.

:secret::goggles: Except Marty will know...

Thank You and I was hoping that is what you would say. It looks like I am going to remove another 3/8" of the powder coating which will give me 1.25" of inward travel.

I needed to add tape to my collapsible magnet magnet.

First Bolt in.

Well the tool cart is sure looking full.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7f95581-me.jpg

In order to roll the motor over the plugs must come out.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d799fa2-me.jpg

So I don't have the pictures of me putting the last two bolts in but let's just say this job sucked !!!

Instead you get a nice picture of Remy.

Header going back in.

If you look close you will see that I forgot to zip tie the starter wires. I should have put a blue tape note on it.

I also moved the Lokar Dip Stick back one bank and it has a much better engagement with the block.

Finally finishing up the Ground Wiring (( 07-17-22 ))
 

I am back trying to finish up the ground wiring.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...31785eb-me.jpg

I am going to remove the mock up wiring and replace it with the 6AWG wire.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e4cbeed-me.jpg

I also move the Holley ground wire to the remote shut off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f695a28-me.jpg

The wire was a little long and the lug for the batter was just a little bit big.
