Never heard of that, is it a sand blast?

Thanks for the offer Dan to trade for the Thermostat housing but i will keep mine as i do not mind that the number is correct but on the wrong location.

Yesterday i sand blasted the hood hindges as they were black in color, they took me 2 hours a piece to do but the end result is fantastic.
I left them raw and just rubbed in a clear coat of tremclad rust paint with a clean cloth. Here are more photos of the rebuilt Regulator and other stuff like the Horn/Buzzard Relay,NOS Spark plugs,Starter,Battery Cables Etc...

&quot;Reskinning&quot; is Jerry Macneish's proprietary process of cleaning the aluminum surface and then putting something on there to seal aluminum. I have a few pieces on my Nova that Jerry did. Looks real good, can't say how well it holds up or lasts, though.

Here are the freshly re done Hood Hindges that took me 2 hours a piece to sand blast.
The raw hood hindge metal is protected by Tremclad clear rust paint that i rubbed in with a clean cloth.

Question ??
I pulled a Purple/Black wire with an end connector from the back of the cowl wiring gutter, what was the purpose of this wire?

That purple/black wire connects to the Transmission Controlled Spark #3961573 kick down relay rivited to the gutter.
Of the 3 terminals on the gutter mounted relay,it fits to the passenger side terminal,nearest the firewall.
The wire should have a female end to slide onto the male spade.

Thanks Rick,
so it would go like this correct?
I wonder why the last owner did not have it connected?
Also photo shows the pedal wires, is everything correct down there?

Rick i just took my Wire gutter off to have a closer look underneath.
I do not have a fourth connection like that smaller photo you included, maybe the connector broke off? Does not have any signs of being broken off.
Maybe the four speed cars were a different unit than an automatic one. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
