Thank you very much. Not sure it will lift the wheels.

You spent some time on that comment, thanks

@@ThrottleStopRacing Guilty as charged. You R a gentleman and a scholar and from what I hear.. the "Gearhead Whisperer" Live long and prosper 🖖

I really do not know, use your phone and take a picture is all I can suggest. Working in the bilge is always close quarters.

The getting up is the hardest prat after that it is all down hill.

I would think that it was very important. If the shift cable shifter and trans lever all be in park and your cable length set that way, the other end of the range (first or third) could be out of range???

Thanks so much for the comment. Sorry for no video this week, but that is what happened.

Thank you very much.

That is for sure. Great day today, going to take the pool cover off?

That is great that you found the problem.

I do like their machine work and quality of materials.

I think this setup will do the trick. A lot of that going around lately.

What did you say?

@@ThrottleStopRacing 🤣

Thank you very much.

Optima batteries require an optima charger, but they don't tell you that because they cost $400. I have lost a few of their batteries because of this, but the 1000cca battery is $400 so I just spent the money and their charger is fast and made for their batteries, plus it's lighter and safer with the charger sitting in the trailer. We also prefer the yellow top battery for rapid discharge and charging just some things I have learned the hard way, as hard as it is to justify $800 for a battery and charger it's still cheaper than buying them twice. No at all knocking your set up just hope to help anyone watching because a dead battery at the track is no fun after all the hard work.

@@ronosga4391 The charger says on it front cover AGM .I called and talked to their tech line and they agreed this would be a good setup for what I intended.

If I remember right Optima batteries charge best with a variable rate charger, I know I had two fail and they told me to buy their charger. Hope it all works out well.

I like wiring.

I was thinking more like 5500 RPM for the shift and much lower for the launch. What do you think? Just starting to think about gears and rear tires.

Yes be conservative until she gets comfortable!!

Give yourself lots of copper to solder put heat shrink on it, don't cut or fray the line you are splicing into. Good luck.

I just do not understand the comment, sorry

Good to hear, how far along are you?

I'm lucky, my wife is behind this build. She will be the driver.

I just haven't gotten around to it as yet. I'm thinking fender well headers when we get there. Thank you for the comment.

That's a must!!​@@ThrottleStopRacing

They are coming but there is other stuff to do first

Thanks, it is even better in person. Thanks for the comment.

That is a good idea. I hesitate to do that because I would not like to wet down the track because of a failed petcock. Tightening a plug with a wrench just seems more finial. Thanks for the comment.

@@ThrottleStopRacing I understand your reasoning but have you ever seen one fail? I had the same thoughts back in 1978 when I started doing it. The only probtem I've encountered is the little wings breaking loose before the seal does and even then, you are back to a plug.

It was a fun little project that I though would be of interest. I must have pulled and installed that engine twenty times. Time I start thinking about the torque converter and rear end.

@@ThrottleStopRacing YOu've got the skills!

We are3 working on it, time to start thinking about gears for the rear end.

I try an work on it a little bit each day, Thanks for the comment.

Here you go, the engine build kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnOQlqZ4iKp3nK8

Sorry I missed your comment. I think they all have a look to them, just different at times. I take function over form sometimes.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the complement , it makes making these videos worth the trouble.

Maybe is is specific to a Gen v block. I get oil pressure from that location???

@@ThrottleStopRacing Thanks for clearing that up. I haven't messed with any of the newer blocks.

@@green68chevelleIt is only a guess.

Was i gender specific?

Will Do.

Painting will take place when everything has been bolted on and no more holes need to be drill. Thanks for the comment.

@@ThrottleStopRacing Thanks, I edited my comment after finishing the video haha. Cant wait to see the finished product!

The engine I was working on was from the earlier 70's

@@ThrottleStopRacing okay thanks sir
