Details 77....

Well after sitting for a week, I hooked up the battery and gave her a spin......


lit off on the first crank and took gas without hesitation! I hope she continues to light off and be as responsive as she is right now!

Another semi productive weekend. We got the corrected fittings onto the master cylinder to proportioning valve hard lines and got them installed...



















the vacuum canister installed onto the driver side wheelhouse...




















and got the parking brake cables partially installed. Need to get some hardware and brackets plated...
























I have everything in place as shown in the Shop Manual, but laying there looking at it, it doesn't look like it would work smoothly... but everyone who has looked at it says it's correct, so I'll get her buttoned up once I get the plated bits back.

Next weekend I'll get back to finishing up blasting the hood and get started on the deck lid and driver side front fender so they'll be all ready for the guys at Far From Factory once it's back in their hands.

Stay tuned...

Details 76....

Some progress this weekend... my parts arrived last week
















so I was able to get the starter remounted and the blanket back in place...



 
the carb to PCV line and the distribution block installed.


















Refired the engine to insure the chirp had not returned and all was good!

I also got the rearend filled with the gear oil and trac-loc additive as well as the vent line installed.















I started to install the master cylinder to proportioning valve hard lines only to discover Inline Tube Co had send me a line with the incorrect prop valve fitting, so that hamstrung that install until I can get the correct line.

All in all a pretty good weekend! Stay tuned....
