Due to un-foreseen circumstances (I was half asleep...) I do NOT have photographs of todays adventures. I left my camera on the dinning room table when I left this morning. I promise to make up for it tomorrow.
I did re-position that fuel pump (The rubber feet were twisted the wrong way and I was loosing sleep... check the pictures from the previous post) I also cleaned and painted the driveshaft, installed the safety loop, and managed to acomplish all this WITH the assistence of my Wife, whom stopped by to say "HI" and I put her to work. I had her in the trunk holding the upper bolt heads while I loosen and repositioned the rubber insulators, then I had her in the car while I was underneath tightening the safety loop. And we actually had fun!
Before Amy got there I did wire up the fuel pump and did the soldering / shrink wrap / neat-as-a-pin installation. I also found out that my fuel filter wasn't tight! It's a two-piece barrel type and I never double-checked to make sure the 2 halves were tight. I'm glad I caught it now, and not with fresh gasoline puddling under the car! I also found out that the Comp Engineering sub-frame connectors are for the long wheelbase cars.... I have to trim them down. Oh well....
Tomorrow I finish the starter wiring, install the shifter linkage, and bleed the brakes.Then I can drop her back on her feet. If all goes well, I might be making some noise next weekend! And I PROMISE video of THAT!
BTW: I had a coffee and a toasted, buttered bagel. :iconbigg:
