Re: Andy's 66 Caprice LS Conversion Upgrade
Got pretty much all the under hood wiring completed today......went to spin the engine over and found out the neutral safety switch is toast......Andy ordered a new one and that will be his winter project to install it.......LOL....Then we had a major disaster.......added coolant to the Radiator to top it off and come out the next morning and a puddle of coolant under the car......Humm !!!!.......Ended up being a pin hole in the Radiator weld seam..........Sheesh !!!!.......First we had Keith's car dropping dirt all over the place, now we have Andy's "Leakasourus" dumping coolant all over the place.........Time to call the Hazmat team again ............Time to get this "Beater" out of the garage......Andy is coming to drive it home next Saturday...........Put a self tapping screw with a rubber grommet thru the Radiator hole and tightened the screw squishing the rubber grommet to seal the leak till the new Radiator shows up and Andy can replace it at his place.......LOL

Re: Andy's 66 Caprice LS Conversion Upgrade
Time to get Andy's car cleaned up and finished.........Spent the day yesterday getting the Dakota Digital modules installed and wired ..............Todays project was to get the Dash cleaned, disassembled, and get the new Gauge assy installed, programmed and installed.......After getting that finished, I started the car and let it run and get up to temperature......Fan Relays kicked the fans on just like they are supposed to.....One of the little issues that pop up every now and then was the neutral safety switch.......This one was broken and going from the early trans to the overdrive created a safety issue........So......I informed Andy the switch was bad and I installed jumper wires to by-pass the old switch...After thinking about it and reading the instructions for the Dakota gear shift position sensor module, I installed a relay and wired it per the instructions..........LOL......Don't need no stinking mechanical switch...... ...Andy is coming to pick it up and drive it home on Saturday....

Re: Andy's 66 Caprice LS Conversion Upgrade
Drove it for the first time to get the A/C system charged yesterday..........the car rode beautify, But....now I remember why God invented Disc Brakes and quick ratio steering boxes.....LOL.....Andy already changed the steering linkage in car over to the 67 revision so there wasn't any Ackermann issues.....Maybe I'm just used to driving my wife's cars so I am a little spoiled.........Andy is coming tomorrow to pick up this "Heap"........He still has some tweaking to do over the winter, I know he will be upgrading the brakes etc............Hopefully he will continue the thread with the future mod's............
