2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[Number1]

Have you ever had any problems with either of those radiator drain cocks getting seized together and not opening?

I was thinking the same thing. I’d dab some anti size on both threads.

Goose daddy,
Great find on the terminal covers. Do you know of any for the battery bulkheads ?

I used the Oatey teflon tape on the threads and normally that works good.

Not to worry anti-seize and I are very close friends

Cleaning up the final wiring and making it permanent



I trimmed out this hole for the Mag Daddy magnet wire holder







I have learned having a small box handy in the car for all the stuff.





Let's not forget the stuff hidden behind the vintage air unit.



I need to lengthen just one side of the fuse holder wiring as I will be unable to reach this fuse when everything is all buttoned up.







If you look really close you can see the fuse is hidden behind the fuse relay wiring.



Test fitting the Holley ECU



As always it is nice to have someone to talk with even if he only barks.

Is it just me that has a hard time knowing when tight is tight enough.



I also made sure that both nuts would be accessible from under the unit while I am laying on my back on the floor.



Last look before the box goes in.



I also find it is important to remember the tools I used to get the all of the hidden hardware.





Have I told you how much I love these Mag Daddy Wire Loom holders.





Time to shorten a couple wires.





Wrapped the wire and installed a much nicer connection.



Opps - it appears two female can't connect.



All better now.



Tightening the bolts that anchors the Vintage Air unit to the firewall. I an also considering putting a Nylock nut on the bolt that protrudes into the wiper cowl.



Vintage Air Drain



Mounted the bracket I made for the Holley Terminator X





Working on and idea how to secure the top bolt hole which will also stabilize the bracket.





It's shocking how many tools you use.

Remy and I are back in the garage

Working on routing the Vintage Air Coolant line using the Mag Daddy Line clamps.





I also moved the valve from in the inside of the car to the cowl as it will be much easier to service if I am have to replace it.



I made this little mock up bracket to stabilize the valve



While I am here I also routed all of the extra wire from the Holley ECU to the front of the car.









Vintage Air wires that will be eventually connected.



I used the heat shrink spade connectors instead of adding heat shrink tubing.



AC Lines added into the mix









You know the bracket I made ... well that was became useless when I ran the AC lines as there just wasn't enough room.



These cloth Velcro wire ties work really nice during mock up and they come in multiple lengths and they also offer more aggressive Velcro closure.





I need this fitting so I can remake the one AC line as I plan to reroute it in front of the battery instead of under the tray.

Coming along nice. This is tedious work, but the satisfaction of knowing it was done correctly is worth it in the long run.
