Now that it's actually going to happen, I'm realizing the safety cover is going to interfere with easy operation, and with 6 wires needing to go into a small area (the old ashtray housing is still in place) it would be a real pita to modify the existing circuits. So, I found another spot next to the 3 gauge under dash panel that's easy to access and already has an abandoned switch hole in place. It’s a standard chrome metal toggle switch, but its wearing one of the flexible rubber waterproof boots simply to minimize visibility: It’s so stealth it’s hard to photograph:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I had to make 2 rivets for the GMC lens. I'll try to post pictures tomorrow. Pop rivets would not work because of the danger of breaking the rare plastic lens and they would stick out too far on the backside which has to be really close to flush. I'll smear some JB Weld just make sure they won't come lose and fill the core with solder. Although aircraft rivets are smooth, you can't beat them down.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
With help from a friend, I adjusted the valve lash. Then installed the side covers, dizzy, and then finally the intake/exhaust manifolds. Also had a machine shop heli-coil my exhaust manifold so I could install new exhaust manifold studs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I test fit my 88 Camaro world class T5 on the bell. I already swapped in a tail housing from an S10 to move the shifter forward. Looks like I can use my e-brake cross member as a tranny support. It's in the perfect location. I'll remove the center e-brake mechanism and remove the frame rivets and bolt it on instead.
