Got out to the shop on Sunday. Made two trips to the parts store for a stupid belt...

Final I got a belt that fits to drive the alternator only set up. Ran the engine for a good bit yesterday and get the cooling system purged of air (I hope...). Dropped it in reverse (I thought) to see if the trans would turn the wheels. Wheels did turn for a bit, but in the forward direction then stopped. I figured the trans did not have enough fluid. Checked out the linkage too, the column is in park, but the trans is in neutral, I will fix that later. Got the trans filled to the proper level and it works in the forward gears. Really pleased with that since this trans was pulled out of the truck we used to build Korbin's Sunburn, that was not running and had been sitting for lord knows how many years before I got it. I pulled it out 7 years ago. I put a shift kit and new filter in it in 2010, but never did the front and rear seals and it sat untouched till just a few months ago. I put in new front/rear seals, pan and gasket and filled it with fluid. So, next test it to see if it will move the truck once I get the linkage fixed.

I need to work on the idle speed, seems really high, but I don't have a tach so I am not sure what it is at.

I am happy with the progress, but no pictures since it still looks the same...
