1970 DUSTER 440 4spd 8 3/4 posi
Well i have installed my Rear end axle seals, and I have my new bearings pressd on and the axles are in, I will just need to fill the diff up.
I was messing around with the water leaks and the timing today. My timing gun sucks. it seams to stop working once in a while. kinda frusterating. I have it set a little better then it was befor. as for my passenger side header bolt water leak, it turns out that it was my heater hose leaking, the water was running down the fire wall, along a couple wires, onto the engine, down and around onto the headers. because of where the water was hitting the ground I thought it was my header bolts. I'm glad it's not, and the problem is fixed. I am still leaking on my water pump, it is coming out of where the top hose is. I'll get that fixed this afternoon.
But its coming along, I will just need to get the brakes bled, then the yoke on the drive shaft changed, then it should be close to a test drive. I will need exhaust still. Going to order it soon. I will also have to fix the stearing problem too. But I am getting close now.
I know how much you guts like pictures, But I am sorry...I don't have any.
Will a couple videos do?
Here is one of my progress as of Today, May 20th 2008
And here is it Running, a little better than my first video of her :) Still backfired a bit in this video, But not nearly as bad as it used to.
What do you guys think? Think I can have it on the road by June 2nd?!?!?!
