thanks, I'll take a look again but I think those plugs are that pair that meet up in between the harness, this plug has no mate..
As I post this I am waiting for the Val-spar to dry, I was out till midnight getting it painted so it's been drying very slowly in the cold of the night.
Old motors out, so is the bumper and about 80% of the engine bay. I had my buddy come over with his welder and we cut and filled in the strut towers where rust was taking over. Glad I did it because it was getting bad.
Tore apart old trans to get that shift linkage and the oil guide. Also swapped 5th gear, should give me lower revs on the highway. Looked high and low for the cause of that hum/rumble/vibration that plagued me before, theres a little bit of play in the diff bearings but nothing major that would cause it to be that bad. It only happened when I was going straight or left. Not a wheel bearing, checked those.
Had to modify the probe shift linkage to get it to fit.. The bolt holes had to be enlarged and the bushings flare had to be grinded off. Good to know for anybody doing the same thing.
My front motor mount was gone. Literally hanging on by a hair. So I went and got some window weld, filled the thing up and let it dry. I hope it holds long enough for me to buy another AWR mount...
Coated the whole engine bay, was pretty thorough about it, I don't want to see any more rust starting.
Other than that a couple small things to do and I'm ready to drop the motor in and get started hooking everything up. I see multiple trips to the parts store in my future.
