I can't remember if the set screw is SAE or Metric.

You are good to go with the concrete you have for that type of lift. I can understand the suggestions of cutting out and pouring new thicker pads if it was a 2 post lift but not for the lift you are considering. Use what ever concrete fasteners that are supplied with the lift.

Can you provide gfci protection to a standard outlet for the hood from another gfci outlet that's open to view/access?

If you hung it slick side out what's the purpose of sealing it?

You never place a filter before the pressure switch on a well system. A clogged filter can cause the pressure switch to not achieve cutoff pressure and burn out the well pump. Be sure the filter is after the pressure switch. Pressure tanks can produce rust as they reach end of life so having...

The left sping looking at the winding end the coil should be right hand coil or clockwise coiled, so when winding you wind counter clockwise.

NEC 312.8. Feed through conductors are allowed in a breaker panel.

As required by the NEC, if the motor on the compressor is a true 3.7HP then it should be hardwired. A 6-50 plug/outlet is only rated for 3HP.

You can use SER cable for the run inside the house and transition to conduit using a junction box switching to XHHW to the garage. The SER doesn't need to be in conduit, it's installed like NM-b.

I suggest what ever lift you get has an ALI certification. Also get 3 stage arms.

Sounds like you need to rent a drain inspection camera.

The original owner had to have it wired as 240v. They just used the wrong outlet and plug and wired as 240v. The neutral of the 5-20 was used as a hot. 240v is two hots whereas 120v is one hot and one neutral so the 5-20 can actually be wired as 240v.

The issue besides the voltage rating on the 5-20 being 125v, the motor HP rating is only 1 HP.

It's 240v, but just has the wrong plug. The plug needs to be a 6-20, not a 5-20. 20A circuit is fine using #12 wire.

Are you using an electric impact or air impact? I find using an electric impact with torque sticks over torque compared to using air impact.
