Tachometer fails at 2K to 3K RPM

I'm just waiting for it to burst into flames...that would be my luck.



On the SSBCs, they have two bleeder valves...I bled them both, but does that matter?



I found two spots where my transmission is seeping fluid.  What is this connection?



I've had the pan off and on and the guy tried a few different types of gaskets.  But it's still seeping.  I have the new deep sump CK pan with the shims and gaskets that I haven't put on yet.



Is this the audible chime you hear when you're keys are still in the ignition and the door is open?



By the brake pedal, there is a bracket with two plunger switches.  One is black (bottom) and the other is white (top).  The black one appeared to be the switch that illuminated the brake lights.  What's the other plunger switch for?

The chime is black plastic. I believe that the second switch is for the computer
to alert it when you're on the brake so that it can dissengage the torque converter solenoid. May also be for the cruise control. I'd have to check the manual to be sure.

It also looks like you have a small leak from your speedometer cable housing.

second pic up from bottom is the turnsignal flasher.

Fourth one up is the speedometer cable.  Should be an o-ring around the gear housing that plugs into the transmission housing.

The two switches on the pedal are cruise control, torque converter, and brake lights.

The chime module is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, and is secreted behind the dash fascia between the radio and the instrument panel.  Bout impossible to see unless you are laying in the floor with your head under the dash.

Well, I used to have a '70 SS/RS and wish I still have it.  I do have a '69 SS 396 convertible that is begging me to finish what I started last spring and go driver her.  It drives like an old truck compared to the '70.

It wasn't small..lol.  But yeah, the leak was coming from there and running along the rim along the pan.  Somehow a piece of metal worked it's way in there from the outside and split the ring.  I had that replaced along with a new shaft assemble for the shift linkage (or whatever the hell it's called).  Also, a line from the B&M transmission supercooler was seeping, and then there was the transmission lines running into the radiator itself.  Seems that the fitting the guy used that went into the new radiator didn't have long enough threads so it was seeping down the front of the radiator and thus covering everything behind it in a nice film of radiator fluid.
