according to gm's part number description it's a secondary reservoir, I think this is the problem I'll keep you guys updated, the car is running and idling so when I can finally get it in gear I should be "done"

Either flywheel bolts are contact pressure plate or pressure plate backwards

I'm sorry let me be clear about that I thought you were asking if I could freely rotate the wheels when in neutral. The wheels do not move with the engine when in neutral, there is no mechanical connection unless I'm in gear

to my knowledge its not possible to put in backwards unless your a total idiot. the pressure plate goes one way.... even the clutch disk cannot be put in backwards. the pressure plate wont sit flush with the flywheel if its in backwards.

Not that it really helps you right now, but I left that piece out of my clutch line too when I put in a stainless line and never had any issues and I'm not sure what it is either

omg I laughed so hard at this

ok so the problem with the passenger headlight turned out to be the grounding pin on the headlight connector. I apparently damaged it shoving the electrode of the volt meter into it when I was sorting out wires. I had to remove the pin, reshape it so that it would connect and now it's working perfectly. I went ahead and double checked that all the turn signal and hazards work along with the brights and running lights. currently the car is on the battery charger

laughed so hard? I don't even know what I said that would be so funny, like I said, and others agree, looks good, but TOO much work at the end of the day, my 2 cents.

the ends do not justify the means, in my eyes but keep on truckin. I don't pay for your mods.
