I'm still using the same temp sensor. I did remove the teflon and put some dope on it. I believe it was you that mentioned the teflon might affect the ground. I got the table top from my Dad, no clue where it came from. Quote:

Working on the interior door panels. Also got the muffler pipe for the upper water hose enlarged a little to fit the hose better. Got the TV cable bracket for the carb and the cable bracket for the cable itself which includes the return springs. The bracket is actually a throttle cable bracket, but I don't see any harm in using as a TV cable bracket. The cable is routed higher that normal, but there is no interferrance. Am I wrong? When I move the throttle, the rod actually moves away from the TV cable bracket. I also did a lot of reading on how to adjust the TV cable. If I read it right I held the throttle at WOT and pulled the TV cable out til it stops and tightened it down. TV 101 is a good read that I will read again. The last 2 pics are a before and after.

![]() Things accomplished tonight: Got a 3/16 inverted flare plug for the porportioning valve. Thanks guys for the help. I feel like a dummy. ![]() Replaced the "O" rings on the tranny dip stick. Hope that fixes the leak. Also rerouted it so there's not any pressure on the line. Bolted the torque converter to the flex plate. then set TDC. Ran spark plug wires. I thought I had bought some cut-to-fit. Instead I had some for a 70's corvette that ran under the manifolds. Wish I had gotten the cut to fit because there is more wire than I want. I'll try to tidy it up.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
nice progress alan, but you need to wash her shes dirty lol, j/k!! two questions, do you have a long tailshaft or a short for your 700r, and if you put your motor in the front holes what is the length of your driveshaft? center of u-joint to center of u-joint! reason being is i'm wondering since i had a 230 with a 3-on-the-tree if i just change the yoke out if the length would work or not! i have mine in the front holes now and this weekend i'm going to get under the truck and find out!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
![]() No, they are on the Roaring Fork motor trail in Gatlinburg. It's a 5 mile drive on a oneway road. It's awesome up there. It started raining half way thru so it cut our picture taking time in half. I wanted to go to Cades Cove. I went there as a kid and wanted my kids to see it. Maybe next time.

"It was Gaitlinburg in mid-July, I'd just hit town and my throat was dry, so I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew..." A Boy Named Sue, by Johnny Cash.
As soon as I saw you post that, that song came to mind LOL. If I am ever again down in that neck of the country, I will certainly look that Stars Cars place up!! I probably would have filled the camera storage up just in that place alone, not to mention the scenic shots you took too!! I bet it was a great trip.

![]() Cooters Place was the highest on my priority list. He has a General Lee as well, but not an original. We just happened up on the Stars Cars. My favorite shows are the Dukes and Smokey and the Bandit (original). I was happy. ![]() I had Shannon come over and help me drop the fuel tank out so I could bolt the bed wood down. That's a lot of hardware. I'm pretty sure I can check that off the list. I was going to have one of my girls get in the bed and hold the carriage bolts while I started the nuts. They wouldn't have the patience yet for that. I just laid blocks of wood on the bolts. Now I can hook up the sending unit and reinstall the tank.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I just commented to the wife about how large your thread was, and how many years it spans, as well as the quality of the work you have done.
I commented on how you have a practically brand new truck and she returned with it probably cost as much as a new truck too... So I was wondering if you have kept a running log of expenditures on your rig? I have done this with my Tempest; itemized by part, date, cost, and odometer reading. I have also started this with the truck, though odo reading will be moot at this time since I have rolled it back. (though in the future I will add to that column) I dont wish to be nosy, frankly I can imagine what you have into it so far (not counting $$ for the labor of course) I was just wondering if you were calculating it as you went?
