Correct on the parts.
As for the beer. I used to drink a lot heavier beers and beers with more hoppe's in it, but my old age has changed that. I'll fill up to fast and get way to drunk way to fast lol.
The guy at autozone sold me some awesome new accessories!
I also got speed bleeder screws for the front calipers, none for the rear because they they have the 1/4 size bleeders for the rear wheel cylinders.

I like these red plug wires. 84271
Rebled my brakes by myself... I wasn't to confident about pumping the pedal on the front brakes even with the speed bleeders. I'll test drive the car on the way to school tomorrow. I can't tell if the pedal is as stiff as it was before, I'll probably try and bleed them again after driving it a bit.
It'll be a quick morning at school since I only have to do a couple of easy extractions. Maybe I'll get done before Tony leaves the garage. I think I still owe him lunch
And yes, I know those are some white feet in some comfy slippers.... oh you were looking at the copper and black wires...

You are going to end up with hot oil on your foot, you really need to re-route the oil pressure line before it breaks.Rebled my brakes by myself...

I am getting there also. I don't drink as much but I now prefer quality over quantity. i wont go too cheap on beer. or whiskey.
i wanted to comment on the brake bleeding. If a one man operation I gravity bleed first. take MC lid off ,open bleeder, wait till it is running/dripping out pretty steady. close bleeder off. Put lid back on, pump pedal with bleeder closed. then open bleeder with MC lid still on, look for "bubbles" then steady trickle. repeat as many times as needed. OR as a modification to the aforementioned procedure..I pump the pedal with the MC lid closed, then put a pry bar or two by four wedged in between the seat and pedal, holding pedal down, then open bleeder. you can hear the air squirt out. Do that a couple of times then try the first gravity bleed that I mentioned. It usually doesn't take much time or fluid and you should get a good pedal. What you want to avoid is letting the pedal up while the bleeder is "open" it actually draws air in and you will be there all day. If bleeding all 4,start at the furthest and work forward. that would be Right rear, left rear, right front left front. I will sometimes open all 4 and let them leak on a gravity bleed. working alone is a forte of mine

Yep, this is kind of what I did.
-pump pedal, get it hard go open bleeder, go back and pry pedal all the way to the floor, then go close bleeder.
The pedal feels great today. No dragging of the brakes and nice firm stopping.
Yea I'm not a huge fan of the routing due to the esthetics, not because of the functionality. It works great and nothing is hitting/binding on it. Maybe one day I will reroute it, possibly making it a little more hidden and under the carpet... another thing on the to do list.
Yea the electric ones are nice, a bit more expensive, and there is always that real big problem with an electric one... I really really dislike electronics and wiring; it intimidates me and I'm clueless at it (like everything else?
) Again, add it to the do do list.
I spy... with my little eye...
Cleaned my back window... never realized how looking out of it could be so clear...

Isn't driving these ole girls great!
Oh I love driving it! Windows down, music playing and exhaust notes growling. My exhaust is pretty loud, but one day it might be even louder, maybe with a little less drone on the highway. It would be pretty hard to carry on a conversation in normal voices while buzzing at 70mph.

Dam....You are new.
That's one of them fancy LO23 darts right? Mmhmm it's nice
Getting rid of some nasty vinegar water.... can't dump by house... we all remember the stained sidewalk and gutter incident... the drive to the dirt lot down the street was very slow and careful....
Taking out the trash... of spare ****...
These front drums are pretty cool though.
Only keeping 1 box of stuff... that I deem important or usable...

You absolutely did the smart thing by hauling it down the street! I've had a 5 gallon bucket of vinegar sitting in my garage for a few months, to use for derusting stuff. I decided the other day that it was dead, and needed emptying. I have a gravel driveway, and it has grass starting to grow in spots.....so I got the bright idea that the vinegar would kill it. Well, it worked like a charm and the grass is dead as a door nail. Problem is......it stinks to hell and back, and isn't letting up much as time goes on. DOH!!!!

I still have staining in front of my house and on the sidewalk from when I dumped the first container full. This stuff is nasty...
Now the container is being used for my spare parts bin... still have to many spare parts for what little space I have... I should get rid of the poker table too. It's just so dang nice of a table.
Ever since changing the oring I have had a slightly sticky front caliper. I've bled them 2x by myself but it's still not as good as it was before.
So here's to giving this trick a try, learned from reading a different forum a FABO member sent me. All you have to do is depress the brake pedal and keep it depreased overnight. The. You should be able to wake up the next day and all the air should travel out of the lines and back track into the top air space of the MC...
