I put oil back in the engine. Took it for a test drive. I found oil leaking from a pan bolt that wasn't tight. Tighten it up. Plan to test drive tomorrow and recheck.

I took it out for a road trip, and it ran great. When I got back home, I seen another leak. I got to figure out where it is coming from.

Swapped my thermostat for a 180°. It had a 160° and was running too cold since I installed the serpentine setup.

My son took the 78 El Camino for a short road trip yesterday. He bought this car back in 97 and put an engine in that he rebuilt for his 73 El Camino. I've did the body work and made drive train changes. This is the first time he drove it since 2004. He really loved how well it performs. Thanks to all here that helped me make it better.
