Re: Andy's 66 Caprice LS Conversion Upgrade
The leg is now getting back to normal and things are starting to move again.......Didn't say anything yesterday, but if you look at the picture below, you will see the front Chinese header bolt is missing......I was using a air ratchet to draw them in and the bolt as it was running down just snapped off.........Talk about getting pissed........That was a signal to go take a Nap.......It was in an accessible position, but getting the drill started in the center of the bolt to drill it out in an area that wasn't the best to see what you were doing.........went to the shop today and thought it thru....Made a bushing to go into the header flange with the metric tap drill size in it.......put it in and it centered the drill perfectly.....drilled thru the bolt and retapped the hole.......problem solved......
Now that my Blood Pressure was down to normal, I went on and finished getting the Front Drive set-up installed........Headers installed on both sides and got the frame trans cross member mounts all welded in.......Time for a nap again (a good one this time)
