Working on my most recent conundrum.....a water temp gauge. I sent my gauge pack out to SC to a specialist who could not repair my gauges, to include the inside voltage regulator. So, after talking to them, I bought not one, but two types of regulator and tried both. Not happy. So, will clean up and replace the gauge pack that will no longer function, and am using SW gauge pack now below the dash. So now the temp gauge that has an extended length, for some unknown reason, sending unit that will not fit under the alternator brackets. So, genius that I am, I decided to simply pull the third plug out of the water pump, and use an adapter. Great thought....in principle. The plug would not come loose, after heat, penetrant, and a chisel on the edge. Then used JB weld to add to the socket and wrung out the whole thing. So, now I will drill and tap....had to order special size tap drill, and the final thing the other day has me drinking more. I thought I would just drill by cleaning as I go, then use a small magnet inside the hole to try to scoop up as much metal as possible that gets inside. So, I grab my small magnet that is as old as my kid, and the end fell off. The end was installed on the hollow shaft by crimping the tube over the solid magnet end, and if I had dropped it into the hole this time, I would be less happy. So, more JB and things will continue when the drill arrives.
