And so I take it this has ran, but no burnout vids - why?

Haven't got to that part, just test fired with no coolant to make sure we were on the right path

A radiator with a passenger side upper hose nipple would be nice. Otherwise a steel tube crossing behind the radiator, painted teal would fit the bill.

Don't you threaten me with teal options, hahaha. Yeah, the passenger side would be very helpful but from what I have seen a lot of guys run this rad with a lot of power so was hoping to be able to get away with this. To be determined I guess

BTR has a very good description of which o-ring to use on the different pick up tubes. I've read it 25 times and I'm still confused. If the old one fell off, then there's your sign.

It's stupid difficult to figure out when the motor is in the car. But if it's out on a stand, then it's painfully obvious - if you peel off slivers of the o-ring when installing the pickup, then you need the smaller o-ring and if the pickup falls into the pump with no resistance, then you need the thicker o-ring.

And I hate to ask, but why would anyone what that on their weiner..........................................ever? (SMH)

Hahaha, yeah pretty much. The thing I was concerned about is that the junk yard test runs them to make sure they are good, not really sure how this would have passed since it wasn't getting oil pressure. It doesn't make any noise while running now so hoping everything is OK, just really weird

Speaking of weird, I think Mike likes to put all kinds of weird things on his.........

Man, I really need to stop slacking and get back to this thing so I can have it ready for spring

While the boss was working on lowering his new Jeep, I did some wiring and starting to put the lighting back in up front. Found out the fuse that looked good once it was tested really was bad for the radio. Too bad I hadn't stolen the screen for testing in the Monte, so hoping to check to see if the radio works now in the next day or two. Ordered a bunch of this since I think I got talked into running a pair of 15's in the back for nostalgia

Figured I would put all this boring together even though it was Friday night and much of yesterday

Felt very accomplished after Saturday's work, my buddy Chris really got a lot done. I piddled about with the sound deadening and front lights so that I can get them fully wired up. Hoping I can get my dash decent enough to get wrapped and not look too bad

That LCD dash is awesome.

Appreciate it, that was one of the first things I decided I was doing. People even put them into G bodies, maybe you should fit one into your Monte
