~ Discovered bad.."new" never used..oil pressure sending unit. Might have been bad, ordered one fr. local parts house, it came in with 2 terminals not 3, store clerk said he may have one with three...he looks up one for a Chevelle or some other 3 terminal chevy. When we tested the circuitry, things pointed to a bad switch. I took a trip out to the boneyard where several dying H-Bodies lie resting in peace, (Oh a very salvageable '72 Vega Wagon.. I saw out there)..I clipped a nice heavy duty oil switch connector out of the harness on the wagon, couldn't get to the switch, so I went to a different H-body, another 72 and got the oil press. switch out of it.
~ Tested the switch and found that it read ohms while the "new" one did not. Installed it and there is ignition to the start solenoid now....it clicks with the key turned to start.
~ The seat belt interlock crap IS part of the problem...forgetting it wasn't an option, we had to deal with it as we had to jump out the purple wire in the override relay thats mounted to the bay sidewall.
...I have come across the instructions on what wires to cut and which wires to connect to remove or disable the seat belt interlock circuitry. I think it is out of a Chilton MAnual. I will double check and post the text for people to read.
~ Installing oil filter, 10-40 plus zinc additive, re-visiting the fuel lines, studying exhaust set-ups and weighing options on single or dual , dump ahead or behind wheels, dump on each side or both on same side.
