I got one of the 1/4" pipe plugs out on the starter side to drain the water from above the pan rail. Looks like I will need to remove some of the eng mount on the driver's side to pull that plug. It has the later design safety bracket in case of eng lift. that's in the way.

I checked all the ground to make sure they were actually grounds. I did notice where I painted the starter assm & then scraped some of the paint off where it bolts to the block, it did leave a slight step from the paint maybe not allowing it to sit flat against the block. I hit both surfaces with a Roloc just to make sure I had a good ground at that point....thanks, Joe
