DodgeFreak, thanks for the tip, I have considered that, I've ran the engine but haven't engaged the trans yet since there are no brakes. I actually have the linkage wired so it cannot come out of park. Won't be driving this for a while, may just pull it out under it's own power but that's about it, may run it out of the driveway around our little culdasak and back in the garage one time, then on with the rest of the project.
Almost forgot, that's a termporary tempature gauge, it's got to be moved now since the master cylinder is ready to go in.
Thanks Ravage, hope you're right!
