What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Well got the floor taken care of with the aluminum sound dampener put the carpet in from ACC. Took the car for a drive around the neighborhood was really quiet I like it I think I’m going to have to change my exhaust now from 2 1/2 to maybe open because it’s so quiet. Just joking

Just messing with the alternator mounting because of the aluminum heads! Wasn't any big deal at all! I will need longer belts though!

I bought the tank through Classic Industries It seems good quality , well made although it was made in Tiawan.
 
Got in to a dilemma the other night. I put the 11/16" tie rods and adjusting sleeves together , bolted the pitman arm on the steering box and installed the idler arm. Put the tie rod assemblies and center link on and the passenger side hits the torsion bar. Looks like the idler arm and center link need upgraded to 73 and up style? I already have a center link located and ordered the idler arm.

I did post a picture of mine and you quoted me... and said "No he is correct" which would infer that Ron's was put together correctly !.. and it's not...
 
Well at least 2 out of 3 of us have it correct! Ron will fix his tonight and be a happy camper.... :thumbsup:
 
Still putting my Engine together. My OCD thought those freeze plugs needed to be polished. :)
