Shakespeare said, "he who hesitates is lost". For me and my oil pressure sending unit nothing could be more true. Had I bought one and installed it before the cab was bolted down it could have been done with ease. Now it may take a contortionist.
Is there another place to screw it in besides under the distributor?

I am wiring my 1951 Chevy 3/4 ton and need to know if anyone sells some kind of device that covers the wires coming out of the 1" hole in the firewall. I am keeping my firewall clean but all these wires are looking like a bunch of spaghetti. I will be using the split loom but I would like something up there that covers the wire coming out of the hole so that it doesn't look so obvious and dresses up the firewall.

I am in the process of wiring (American Auto Wire) my 51 Chevy truck and the next bag tells me to wire the dome light to the door post button. I don't have a door post button. However after thinking about it I might like to have that option on a dark night. Has anyone here added one to their project? If so how did it work out?

I have decided to add a door jam button on both doors. I dropped by NAPA today and looked through their catalog of door jam buttons. I think the one I need will be one that I can just push into a hole I drill in the door post. I'm thinking it should be very flat at the post so the door will shut as it is suppose to.
Does anyone have a suggestion on drilling the hole for the button? Any warnings etc.?

My 1951 Chevy 3/4 ton is almost stripped to the frame. All that is left is the front end and rear end. As soon as that is done I will haul it (the frame and sheetmetal) to the blaster. I will be installing a IFS and 350 sb. I would like to find a 9 inch Ford rear end but may have to settle for something else.
Problem: Because they are so heavy duty I would like to keep the rear springs. Is this the best way to go? Will I be able to use them with a different rear end?

NEED TO KNOW!  What will it take to install a sbc in a 51 3/4 ton pickup using the stock radiator, a new MII IFS, a 350 turbo trany, a 9" ford rear end, and new steering from Flaming River.  Will it fit?  How far forward from the firewall, 1 inch, 2 inches.  A greenhorn here and desperately needing advice.  :?:
