Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Yesterday was the first rainless if cold at 4’C day.
The Caddy’s refurbished ECU was delivered the day before. So I got going in refitting the Throttle position sensor which despite being awkward was not that bad to do. Clever move (for me at least) to use a bit of masking tape to help seat the back, out of sight allen bolt. ![]() Followed by cleaning out and washing the complete scuttle area as there was no ECU in the way. A good place to start from when refitting it. Much better. ![]() Of course nothing is ever quite as easy as it looks. Mounting bracket really let the rest of it all down. Just not good enough after all the effort. ![]() So it was time for the 115mm grinder with a 125mm flap disc, followed by some more vigorous wire brush action. Amazing how much aluminium oxidation there was. ![]() Much better. Better than it looks ![]() A quick wipe down and then some grey primer to hopefully give a basis for the satin black finish. Primer. ![]() Satin black ![]() Refitted ![]() Home made cover over it all. ![]() Started it (on video) Runs Throttle working. Silly grin. Closed up scuttle area Kept under dash open so that I can take it back to Cliffs to reset or delete the faults it had shown. Also reconnected this one wire that was dangling around. A switch associated with the clutch pedal. No idea if it was disconnected before I removed the throttle sensor. But I connected it anyway. Any ideas? ![]() Thanks as always for your replies.
