    Took carb cleaner to Shtinky today, got the choke working again, putting a recharge kit to the K&N, and found one of the disty cap ears cracked! No wonder it missed in that hard downpour that time!
    Replaced that rad fan switch finally....
    Man!! Too much to do!

    I dropped the engine at the yard and started pulling parts that weren't messed up from that wreck for my auto to manual swap in my gray car. Today I got the manual plate for block-to-trans and I got the entire flywheel, clutch and pp and all bolts and starter for 33 bucks. not to mention...I pulled about 5-8 pounds of bolts that they didn't charge me for.

    I also moved some parts to a new row that I'll wait for an all you can carry lol

    and there is a sho here at cunningham brothers pns brand new row!

    The engine is coming out Saturday for the new clutch I have. I'm going to try to get some tensioners replaced on it and maybe water pump just for the heck of it. might as well do it now while it's out. The engine bay is getting all fresh new blue paint and I started moving some electrical components and rerunning wires. The valve cover is getting the same paint on the car. Haven't decided if I want to put back the old windshield wiper system yet. I thought about converting the bottle to a rad over flow bottle. Still have some work to go.

    Installed Rear 12v plug.

    7/8 hole saw is perfect to keep the plug nice and tight in the hole


    Testing Wiring


    And completed.

    Gutted the dash to a shell, then it rewarded me by blowing the coolant crossover tube out on the lower waterneck on the freeway. Damn lil cars getting smart lmao!

    Yeah I'm def. a little more motivated then before, lol. I just simply didn't have enough time to get it running, let alone trust a fresh engine swap for that much mileage...but she'll be running soon.

    Working on selling my Motorcycle for some money to throw at some more performance for it....
