Had another unofficial car nuts meeting today.

We got the transbrake and air shift controls wired in the steering wheel and in the chassis, tested their function.  Another  item off the list.

The encasing of the wiring harness continues.  It certainly is cleaning up the appearance of all those wires.

Luke turned out some precise spacers to go between the torque converter and the flex plate which places the tangs of the torque converter in exactly the right position to engage the pump in the transmission.

There will be an official meeting of the car nuts tomorrow and hope to be able to cross off an bunch of items on the list. One of those items is to get the driveshaft installed and turn the wheels with the engine! 

We also test ran the engine to check it the radiator will keep the engine cool it does not. After 5 minutes of running at 1500 RPM the temperature was at 210 and still rising. New developments on this are coming, keep tuned in to see our progress.
