I am letting shop heat up now, it is a total PITA but I will get thru it. I am developing my schematic today. That way when I start getting in tantric yoga positions under the dash I can minimize the discomfort!
Nice. How far did you have to move the steering column over?
Morning!

I don’t remember. Just enough to clear. I was trying not to have 14 knuckle joints in steering shaft. I ended up with just two. I would guess I moved over by about two inches. I had to fabricate my own dash so it did not matter with regard to dash position.
I just checked the weather forecast... 
Starting at 6 PM today, rain for 12 hours, then a 5 hour break, then more rain for the rest of the weekend....
But hey, we will get up onto the high 50's, almost 60°...

Chris, not sure if it would help you or not but I have pictures of the firewall on my build thread. 6.1 Hemi into 72 Demon?
Sweet, I have to have two no matter what for the Gerst kit. I was thinking of sliding mine over but couldn’t decide if I would like it or not. The 440 probably isn’t much skinnier than a gen 3
Apparently i’m getting breakfast this morning. Nice!
just remembered where there is a 400/4bbl from a station wagon. think i may have to go make a deal.

Don’t believe everything you read, I may on a rare occasion post after wrenching and partaking!
I hate it too when your upside down and the snot runs backwards and starts burning...hate it.
Under dash work is the worst. Get all set up and comfortable then realize you forgot something. Way better with seats out,more room to work.
No got one last year. Thanks for asking though.
Is that a real NOS one or a repop? It gives a part number though. I was disappointed that the repops for my Swinger were diffwerent than the original. Cap backwards and different lettering. If you are going to copy it at least do it right. LOL
Ok Craig doesn't need it. I just bid
Never see them that cheap usually 80-100 start
The first one I bought was for electric pump. I have the manual. I never looked when I first bought the car.

Epic Dad fail, so wife is sleeping in, I have already been out to the shop fired up the heat. Had a cup of green tea doing some reading and decide to throw some corn out for squirrels. Eagle eyed hound spots a squirrel about fifty yards out. Chase ensues, thru drainage ditch etc etc. once we get all gathered back up and mailbox checked we head back in the house. We peek in on the wife who is still snoozing and dumb dog decides to bounce up and ensure correct creature is burrowed in under the quilt. Said creature now has muddy wet dog feet on everything. After an expletives laced explanation of both my, and the hounds intelligence we have decided to retreat to the shop. Apparently there is now going to be a bunch of washing machine action going on. You guys and one gal have a great day!
