BUILD THREAD 84 El Camino build thread

You're very welcome, my friend. I'm glad someone will get use out of parts that were just sitting around. Buffing the paint and restoring the chrome on those wheels has completely changed the look- much better!

Trans leaking again, seemingly out of the speedo cable housing. While under there i noticed there were no bolts holding the mount to the transmission amymore, only the xmember. Finagled some in there with lock washers, threads were kinda trashed... we'll see.

I've got another one leaking from the darn O-ring for the speedo bullet and they seem to be a specific thickness not included in normal variety packs.
 
They never are!
I did some research and the housing is Delco # 345215, the housing OD is 0.875" (7/8) and the groove diameter is 0.703" (45/64). The O-ring is Pioneer 26011-10. It has an OD of 0.875" (7/8), an ID measuring 0.687" (11/16), and a thickness of 3/32". Some say it's O-ring #13 and that was true at Ace but they were sold out, the ones I got from Atwoods are # 115 and cost $0.99 each.
