Thanks guys...I wll be checking the voltage later this week. I was just out looking at the timing cover to intake manifold area...it does seem a bit corroded around the edges where it connects to the manifold...would it be best to just replace it? I mean, I plan on swapping the engine at some point...so would this be too much work in the meantime? Q's comment is also noted about the the threads not being deep enough for the bolt to screw down properly...I noticed that when i was screwing it down.
I am guessing that replacing the timing cover is going to be the way to go.
Ok, and on the welding floors part...if I had to take it to a shop...what would yall guess would a legitimate price on labor for welding in two full length floorboards?
