Never to old to learn something every day. Talk to Inline today and new ones on the way.
I thought putting this back together would be fast, right. I think it is the best part though.

Apparently, I have the opposite problem...

 

[muddacres]

I think I have the fix.

LOL...Mine are getting exchanged in the next few days...... Local supplier.

 

[muddacres]

I just ordered the wrong ones not knowing that they changed. I will end up selling them with a bunch of other parts.

 

[muddacres]

Thanks for those parts Tony. AKA whitepunkonnitro

 

[65Val]

Mine's sorted out too....

 

[muddacres]

I have another housing and that is 67 - 69 also. I just had to go and look.

Same here. I have 2 housings as well, and was told they were both 67-69 years....guess I was wrong.

Worked on a few things last night. Got the motor and trans mated together and the rear is ready to install.

WOW!
You must be very excited at this point of the project Jim, keep up the awesome build.

I am but so much going on. My dad text me at work today telling me his cancer has come back. They already took his voice box and just got done with radiation and chemo on the base of his tongue. If there was such things as miraces I would ask one for him. I'm sorry for talking about this I don’t share things like this.

Sorry to hear that...and at this time of year. Take good care!!!

 

[belmateo]

I am sure many of us will pray for him, stay strong.

We got the rear bolted in last night, brakes lines hooked up and e brake cables. Does anybody know if the vent has gaskets on top and bottom of brake line block?

 

[belmateo]

No gasket or washers on the vent bolt

 

[JDMopar]

No gasket or washers on the vent bolt

I agree. The brake fluid bypasses the hole the bolt goes thru, and there's no pressure from the housing....so no washers/gaskets needed.

 

[muddacres]

I know that the brake fluid won't leak. I'm worried that the gear oil will seep out.
Thanks
Jim

 

[belmateo]

Thread tape is good insurance for that.

 

[muddacres]

You are right, don't know where my head is at.

 

[muddacres]

I looked for these for 3 days.....

 

[muddacres]

Making a little headway. I will feel the pain later by not waiting for my steering gearbox.

 

[belmateo]

Yeah, but it sure made the Header install easier I am sure. Lookiing good

 

[muddacres]

I put the headers on prior to lowering the car down on the engine and transmission, that was so easy. I'm enjoying every bit of this lift. I remember those days as laying on the ground in the snow and rain.
