Yesterday and this morning, I pressed the wheel bearing races into the discs and installed the brake calipers. The brakes are all done except for hooking up the hoses in the front and bleeding the system. Then I can mount all four wheels -- more exciting for me than you. :) http://i.imgur.com/VjX4JF...

I increased the spring tension on the rear of the car today. It is a little dangerous so it is good I still can type. I'll have to see how the car sits when I get it on its wheels. I also finished up the drum brakes on the rear. I just have to put the new shocks back in for the rear before I put the...

I cleaned out the bell housing and put in a new thrust bearing.




I installed a new flywheel, clutch and pressure plate....and this is where I'm at....

Cool, those are all surmountable issues.

Be free, my dear engine....



...but don't get comfortable....you'll be installed today!

I meant it just figures that I would have to ditch it. I just had to laugh. Ok, so I have a LOT of electronics stuff bc of various projects. I actually have 5 different thermistors on hand, but they only go to 150 C. I have 10 digital temp probes, but only good to 125 C. I have a bare K thermocouple...

Ok, so ditch the thermocouple that I spent more time and money than I wanted on it. :lol2: I have a water coolant sensor that I was going to put in for oil temp, but will use it somehow on the head. I was planning on installing the engine tomorrow so this throws a wrench in the works -- especially s...

I've read a couple threads that you must have needed a coffee or a nap, but we have all had those days. ;) You are very helpful and I appreciate that. The CHT is a two wire thermocouple. It has eyelet connections with small bolts through them. It is from Dakota Digital. I can email them to see if th...

Sounds good. I might be welding it up after I have it on the car. I tried to get an adapter for my 2 manifold flow regulator for my argon, but didn't have any luck. I might see how it goes anyway. I hope I don't come across like a d*ck. I don't mean to. :D I appreciate the feedback and ideas. Usuall...

I chose a classic exhaust bc this is my wife's car and if there are exhaust parts hanging down much below the body work, she will not be happy. Let's face it, this car is a compromise. My wife wants heat, so I'm left with the heater box exhaust. I don't want to spend $300 x 2 for heater boxes with 1...
