... 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 cool...

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 ...

Sure thing. Once the car is back together and runs, let's set something up!

MegaSquirt add a port.pdf Soldering? Maybe, I really don't know. It might be software configuring, or circuit testing. I don't know this stuff, which is why I got the plug-n-play version. There's talk of transistors and resistors and resetting jumpers and lots of stuff that's plain ol' beyond me. F...

Brakes are good. Need to adjust the parking brake - they grab, but the lever comes up way too high. Car's up on jackstands to do the rear main seal. Started on that today. Will pick at it over the week. Brian's gonna bring over his trans jack on Saturday to do the actual trans removal. I decided to ...

Nice pic.
Long list.
Get to work!

Winning.

I lol'd.

Sounds like you've got another project to work on...good times!

Customs stopped a carburetor. There's your tax dollars at work.

One of the parking brake mechanisms on a caliper has been frozen open forever. In March of '21, I purchased two new rear calipers.
Yesterday I installed them. What can I say...I eventually got to it.
Will watch seals for leaks...

Spares/Plan B. Got it.

If you're going to rebuild a carb, and you purchased the same carb you have, why not just rebuild the one you have?

Yep, was a good day, with good company. I did replace some dash lights - there are 6, and only 4 were working (and, cuz I was in there, I did the one that lights the ashtray too - why not?). Well, when I was done, I couldn't see any of 'em - figured it was bright sunlight and my cruddy vision. Nope....

Well, that's aggravating. Hopefully it's easy to figure out and fix.

My experience with scrap metal is the same - put it by the curb, it's gone by the end of the day. "Best time" was once I put a metal cabinet out, and a guy in a truck came by for it before I got from the street back to my house. Hah!

I'll be there. Not sure with what to do, but I'm sure I can come up with something.

Lol, thanks. I'll check with you when the time comes.

Yah - the other stuff is (obviously) fixable.

I looked right-quick one of those times I was in Home Depot. Cheapest on display was about $600. And I'm not getting the cheapest one. Plus install if I go that route. So, a grand at the low end. Yes, the wiring I can handle. I haven't soldered copper in a long, long, time. And time - it may be one ...
