Vin Number

[sllib]

Found them!! It took a lot of light and a big magnifying glass but I found the front one right behind the Allen head cross-member bolt. Once I knew what to look for I found the rear number on the end of the cross-member behind the tire. The powder coat had filled in the stamp almost completely on both numbers. I circled them with a silver Sharpie so, in case the DMV inspecter asks I can show him. Good thing I had the body off or I never would have found them.

Body is back on the frame. The lifting blocks I made for the fender wells and the bars I made for the bottom of the lift worked great. We put the frame on the wheel dollies, moved the body under the lift, hooked it up and the wife lifted it off of the body buck. Moved the buck and pushed the frame under the body and the wife lowered it while was checking everything as it came down. Worked fine.

I have been doing some research on replacing the ampmeter with a voltmeter. Before I removed the body from my car I had ran it for about 750 miles. At some point the small voltage regulator on the back of the altenater was overcharging and melted the wire way back into the harness. While I was running the motor using the frame as a test stand I had a small tree up with a tach, oilpressure, temp and voltmeter. I had the one wire on the new alt. ran to the battery side of the solenoid
and had no problems.

After doing some reading it seems the thought is to couple the wires together on the ampmeter and hook the voltmeter to the ing switch. I'm know I can leave the one wire on the alt. going to the Bat side of the
solenoid so I'm assuming the old alt. wire in the harness can be removed. Is this the case or should I just tape it up and wrap it with heat shrink?
