Of course you guys are FB friends! I don't know how I forgot that. Lol. Thank you so much for the info. I'm going to source every piece needed to get this car moving. I can't wait to get to the fun stuff. I'm gonna drive it down to Texas to your farm Steve! Lol

Hey thanks Steve!! Me and my cousin Charles(you remember him right? Lol) built that dash from scratch. I documented everything with the build of the dash as well as the engine. Yeah I have a bunch of little things left to do, but this is definitely a great start. The car sounds incredible. Next things to address:

My gas pedal is just laying on the floor. I'm assuming the cable came undone somewhere and I need to find where/how it connects to the pedal.
The lever for the column shift is no longer sitting in that bracket affixed to the frame, so I can't change gears with the column shifter or the floor shifter currently.
The TV cable for my transmission moves way too much. Not sure why, so I'll check into that as well. Long road, but fast speeds. I'm dedicated to getting this done and driving this season. Thanks for all of the suggestions, input, help, and opinions.  :atbeer:

Ok, so I will admit that I didn't even have to time to diagnose the voltage issue during said time of said problem because I was pulling my new motor back out due to a bearing issue. Lol!!!!! That trumped everything, so during installation of the fixed built motor, I remembered the voltage issue and decided to post about it. I'll have more info for you guys here shortly. Everything breaks as I fix something else with this damn thing. Like now my accelerator pedal is touching the floor, so I think I may have to order a new accelerator cable. I'm thinking that the same may hold true for the TV cable as well to the trans. We'll see.

Finally got my valve cover bolts in, so now I can put oil in the car and prime it again. I'll get around to doing that tonight. Wish me luck!

It definitely is wise advice for sure, and that's exactly why I talk to you guys. The DP is installed, grounds are done, sensors are connected, TC bolted to FW, valve covers on, IC finally installed as well. I need to purchase some anti freeze and hose clamps. I'm almost there gentlemen. I have a good feeling this time around. I'll be in touch!!

Good morning Grumpy!! I'd be flintstones if I attempted to drive that car as it is. I didn't realize how bad it was. The floor pans are already delivered.

I got the engine in, bell housing bolts in, crossover pipe on, starter bolted up. My new TC bolts showed up today. I'm making some steady progress

It has to be the battery then. The old alt was working fine before that mistake. The new alt has the same results as the old and the only thing that I haven't addressed is the battery. I'll borrow one for confirmation. Thank you Steve. I'll keep you posted and let you know what I find.

In other news, I got the bug and ripped out all of my interior, including the carpet. I'm either gonna have to buy a new floor pan or get mines welded. I'm gonna get some opinions on it from some local talent.  :icon_eyes:
