Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.

Well I was hoping to get the engine installed this week, But I forgot I did not have the hardware for the pressure plate. I had to talk myself out of using grade 8 bolts and ordered a set of ARP pressure plate bolts. Thankfully summit is still open and have super fast shipping, They came in today, unfortunately I did not have the nuts I needed for the motor mounts and who know how long it will take amazon to ship them.

Any ways on monday I replaced the rear main seal. Installed the flywheel.

Today I installed the pressure plate with the ARP bolts.

I also did the Fuel Shutoff Solenoid delete. I removed the pin and spring. I plan on installing a manual choke cable on the gauge bezel. I'm hoping I can find a stock replacement like what was used in the 67-68 trucks. Then I will connect it to the fuel shutoff lever on the ve pump.

Apparently I have a slow leak somewhere in my lines both bags where down when I went to measure for the transmission crossmember. So I need to find it before I install the engine.
