Took the Chevelle out for another cruise today and seem to still have oil leaking from the left valve cover I think. Made the mistake of reaching under it with a hot exhaust pipe. I was trying to stay away from it and now have a burn on my left wrist. To anxious to try to find where it is leaking.

Just pop your covers and install a new set of gaskets.......ya can never be too careful. (HINT) Do this on a cold motor..........you avoid burns that way :-)

Weather is to bad to put the trans I working on. So today and tomorrow I get to work on her.
I am so happy right now. I pulled off a true piece of artwork. The guy i bought these 2 cars from apparently could not load a car to save his life. Both the SS and this car had a dent in the quarter behind the door in front of the wheel well where he loaded them when he got them. Exact same place. Not a bad dent just a scrape really but enough to warp it and be a pain in the rump. Right where 4-5 complex curves meet. I had it fixed and sprayed it with water, used a spotlight on it and couldn't see it in the shine. But running my hand over it I just didn't like the way it felt. inch wide X 4 inch area. It felt like it warped the metal back from it and there was high spots in what looked like perfect metal. Have I mentioned i am wave chasing. Anyway I was getting 4 spots I didnt like far from the repair area, but i knew it caused it. I skim coated the mess and sanded it back down. I know somebody out there knows how i feel right now. I could do a flip. It is fixed. Couple more places and I ready to clean the garage. Start taping and high build time. It just seems like forever I been doing this. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

Is the orange wire a long one? I'm thinking it goes to the heater fan motor? You can see the orange wire in the lower left of this picture running along the bottom of the heater box.

Ray, I will get a close up of the two wires tomorrow. Would I have that same wire if my car is factory air conditioned?

Mine was where the sender strap grounded to the metal. It got loose on the rivet.
