DARN!! Oh Well. Maybe I should just wait and buy new. I'd feel better in the end I guess.

thanks dad! (only will be using this battery for a few months then it'll go in the toyota).

Ps, I need the clip that holds the trim on the door, the clip at the very back of the trim, mines floppy and afriad it'll get broken, dont wanna put a drywall screw in it LOL

On the list now is to figure out wehre those wires on the (+) can go (to make it cleaner) and get a battery box patch pannel!

Re: The Blue Goose
 
3 Wires to battery

Fusebox (i think)
headlight relays
alternator wire

Where are these supposed to go lol

Re: The Blue Goose
 
trim looks awesome! only one more peice and your driver side is done! do you have all the passenger trim on already? the wires i would just cut them shorter so they run with the battery until they get to the radiator support better.

oldblue1968chevy 11-24-2011 07:57 PM

Re: The Blue Goose
 
You lost me on the battery, where is the CORRECT place to put em, or do you know?

Thanks

I pretty much have no passenger trim, I really need the end clip for the trim on the driver door....

Re: The Blue Goose
 
i only have one wire going to the battery, (I'm not a fan of hooking straight to it) the one that runs across the core support (factory big red wire). It runs to a junction of 3 or 4 big reds on the driver side. heres some wiring dia.

Re: The Blue Goose
 
From the factory they had a "junction block" It would be on your fender right next to the battery. Also should be a fusable link in there someplace.

Cleaned my tires yesterday while it was warm out with hot bathwater and comet (comet makes the whitewall shine!).

Better pic of my trim cant wait to get the last piece on (gota order some clips via carqeust).

Trying to get my washer pump to work, no luck yet lol

Really need to get around to lowering the rear a few inches (2" would be ideal)= 2" drop front and rear, keep the rake, but a slight drop as well
