84' Cutlass pro touring build

[Tony1968]

Earl's temp a cure 42 row cooler. Not inexpensive but made in America quality. All mounting points have rubber grommets and nylocks to isolate from vibration. Sitting on a foam rubber piece I fabbed up. Disregard the black nylon wrap that is frayed back from ends. Much easier than trying to get it under the fittings and no one will see it anyway.
Drilled and tapped 1/4×20 stainless button heads into frame.

Tomorrow's gig. Beautiful welding. Shame it will never be seen

Sorry for crappy pics. Install went very well. No need to hammer cut or curse. It is tight going over the rear end. Suspension at full droop. Btw from my coil over thread I put 4 caster movers under front tires and when I lowered her down it actually dropped about an inch. So the tires were holding it as stated

Some progress. Pre lubed the engine by cranking her over. Only took 3 or 4 short starts (about 10 seconds each) before I had 45 pounds of pressure. Seems kinda high for just cranking as I was expecting maybe 20psi. Since my starter cable is run to the trunk and I didn't do a ground back there yet, this was my answer for an electrical connection. Lol

Grounds at front end passenger side and driver side plus the core support and the firewall
Because you can't have to many grounds

i think in order for that electrical connection to work it must be clamped to the frame...

Front and back steam lines plumbed
Steering shaft installed and added an additional 1/4×20 through bolt with nylock near column side. Don't know if it's visible in pictures

Ya lost me. that's the positive cable that I ran with a spare battery cable towards the front of the car where I connected to battery sitting on the floor. Ran ground to batt and engine temporarily
Make sense? It worked fine
