Next Phase of my Mopar Life
More progress was made last weekend. VoeTom came over and we installed the offset dowels for the bellhousing. Total run out is now within specs. I replaced the pilot bushing and installed the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate.
We had the spark plugs out to make it easier to rotate, and I noticed that one of them had a cracked porcelain. Luckily I had a set of brand new NGKs on the shelf gathering dust, so I put them in. We had to remove the oil filter adapter to pound out the old dowels so it went back in with all new gaskets and a fresh Wix oil filter.
