67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
I did not forget about this car! lol I finally carved some time to get some work done to this. Another vehicle in the garage is going elsewhere to get work done so that opened up more space to rearrange some things and to get this car out of the back corner so I have more room to work.
I did get shocks for it and installed. I noticed some of the nuts were missing for the rear so I need to get them. While back there I was able to finish tighten up the exhaust.
I did get a time delay for the ignition light I put in as well as the courtesy/map light that I did not have.
I did get a spring pin installed but I was not able to install the spring clip that keeps the whole coupler together... I ran out of time but I may run into a clearance issue with the headers. While I was trying to get the spring pin in I noticed I may have the pitman arm clocked improperly. The steering gear input shaft and steering wheel are all keyed and I believe those were installed properly, but I think the pitman arm can get clocked in 90 degree increments. The wheels barley turn to the left.
I ran out of time and wasnt able to get the fuel line to the fuel pump connected. With the stuff mentioned above about the pitman arm, I still need to get the coolant in and check other fluids. Which should be simple to do since I need to raise it up again to get the new tires on and to align it. I have a few small things to install (fuel line clips, speedo cable, oil pressure sending unit, P/S belt and misc small things) and I should hopefully be Comfortable (fingers crossed) to take it out for a drive!
