Thank you , I think i got that from speedway motors or Jegs, i can't remember. It sure does beat a cardboard box

Sure a shame to cover up that good looking Chevy orange and black with all the modern day frufraw. Do you live down South, in the no rust region? Good looking machine and great project.

Agreed these newer vehicles cover up everything. I live in the Central US, we have a fair amount of salt when it does snow. This ol girl does have a couple of problem spots underneath the plastics, i will address before they get to far gone. I also plan to under coat it once i get all the suspension work done.

Quick update, i took the ol girl in to get the tuning done, while there oil pressure started to drop off, so that is where i am at currently. Tuner thinks it is a sensor issue, but i will be working through what i can to figure that out. Also while tuning the cam sensor was also working intermittently, so i will address that, then move on from there. Currently i am dealing with 12+ inches of snow and a full shop, so it is getting pushed to the back of the line for a bit.

Welp after changing the oil sensor, testing the pressure with a mechanical gauge, and changing the oil. Still having issues, mostly after the engine warms up. Next steps are to change the oil pump and o-ring, and going from there. hope i don't have to pull the motor again .
