Right on. Show me a hobby that doesn't cost money.

Well? Do ya?? The bung should be plenty thick, but how thick is the pipe tubing? That's the issue, yes?

Old car. Old house. Old anything... Any "simple" project won't be. Nope.
Great you got it back together, for sure!

That's great!
Must be something about the shift hesitation thing, though - unless they're all like that?

Tune 'n' 'charge 'n' tune

I rejoice in the fact that it isn't modern - I can still fix it. And if I don't touch it, it is reasonably trouble-free. :thumbwink:
But, at 30 years, it is now officially "antique." ...and "eventually" stronger. :snicker:

Tune 'n' 'charge 'n' tune

Car's back together and on the ground. If it's not raining at some point tomorrow I'll take it for a test drive and see if I get that 5 HP that new main seal is supposed to make. And make sure nothing falls off.

I lost 3 hours messing with the old, old studs and nuts on the stock exhaust manifold ...

... eventually...

I'm getting closer. I did the shifter, the back calipers, figured out the gas smell, the main seal, and upon reassembly will have taken care of the header. With your upcoming participation I'll fix the gas smell, and tweak the tune (which actually won't take long). Next is the ...

Tune 'n' 'charge 'n' tune

Welp, got the main seal changed out and the transmission reinstalled 10/11ths. One of the bolts didn't want to torque right, I ended up overdoing it and twisting it mid-shaft. Made quite the noise. With much good luck, the entire bolt came out. Gotta get a new bolt. No, I have no idea how I managed ...
