Ken I don't know how they expect you to work in all this mess!. Atleast the leak was right where you could get at it.

Sucks about the leak but the install looks great, nice and clean! Great job!

Getting started on the "Inside" car stuff this morning.........Got the Gas pedal installed and plugged in.....also took the Dash out to get the Dakota Digital install going......Again.....Look at the Dust on the dash assy.........Sheesh !!!......at least the dust fell inside the car and not on the floor.......

Time to get Andy's car cleaned up and finished.........Spent the day yesterday getting the Dakota Digital modules installed and wired ..............Todays project was to get the Dash cleaned, disassembled, and get the new Gauge assy installed, programmed and installed.......After getting that finished, I started the car and let it run and get up to temperature......Fan Relays kicked the fans on just like they are supposed to.....One of the little issues that pop up every now and then was the neutral safety switch.......This one was broken and going from the early trans to the overdrive created a safety issue........So......I informed Andy the switch was bad and I installed jumper wires to by-pass the old switch...After thinking about it and reading the instructions for the Dakota gear shift position sensor module, I installed a relay and wired it per the instructions..........LOL......Don't need no stinking mechanical switch...... ...Andy is coming to pick it up and drive it home on Saturday....

Nice work Ken, Andy must feel this week is taking for ever knowing he gets it back this weekend. He's going to love it.

Drove it for the first time to get the A/C system charged yesterday..........the car rode beautify, But....now I remember why God invented Disc Brakes and quick ratio steering boxes.....LOL.....Andy already changed the steering linkage in car over to the 67 revision so there wasn't any Ackermann issues.....Maybe I'm just used to driving my wife's cars so I am a little spoiled.........Andy is coming tomorrow to pick up this "Heap"........He still has some tweaking to do over the winter, I know he will be upgrading the brakes etc............Hopefully he will continue the thread with the future mod's............

Ken, great job as usual!!

Did I see the radiator had the trans cooler in the bottom or were my eyes seeing stuff?

What's next?
