1968 Dodge A100 re-born ...again....
Back to hanging the goodies on the new engine...
Bit of a dilemma....no special tool for the water pump bypass fitting, so we improvised by using a bottle opener....
And to torque it up....
Chassis boxes for the engine mounts were cleaned up - sandblasted, rustproofed and sprayed with semi-gloss black after I had brushed the rust-proofing on. Forgot how good the camera is at picking out faults....:rolleyes:
Installed new exhaust studs as these are easier than header bolts, and IMHO much more secure...
New gaskets in place, and start the tightening process....
