Okay, Saturday rpdate a day late...

First the bad news, No video as Christine wins again and I did not get to a place where I could try and start the engine.

Good news is I got a bunch of things completed.
1. Moved that car out to the midile of the garage, Dollies are still working good.
2. Took the plugs out and the engine turned over by hand. (':Qarl:','smid_7') (':Qarl:','smid_7')
3. Got the alternator installed. Also reinstalled most everything I had to remove to get it installed.
4. Got the fuel tank drained, also discovered the fuel pump had died during this exercise.
5. Pulled the tank and did my best to clean it, looked great to a blind guy but my friend said I should add a filter to the fuel system before the pump just to be safe.
6. Picked up a new Fuel pump and installed it.
7. Battery got charged and put in the car, needs to be secured.

Last thing I needed to do that I could not get done was to reconnect the oil supply line. The Alternator is in the way of the setup I had so I need to redesign that which will need a couple of new connectors. I have ordered those and they should be here by next weekend so hopefully then I can try to fire it again.

Non 914 re;ated but needed in Minnesota, I installed a new carb on the snow blower, I at least got one project finished.

Tried to attach pictures but cannot seem to figure it out from my phone, I'll move them to my computer and try from there.

Work is still being done but finding much more to do...
1. The alternator bearing froze and needed to be replaced so pulled that and sent to a re-builder.
2. Redesigned the oil line setup, waiting on parts to finish it up.
3. Discovered all the bearings are shot on the fan/belt system. Ordered new parts to resolve those issues. Unfortunately this means taking the top off the engine but this extra work hopefully will help the belt stay put.

Tomorrow I start disassembly of the engine shroud ,fan, and blower housing to prepare for the arrival of the new parts.

Sorry no pictures as my eyesight has gotten worse and I will need to rely on my son to take pictures and post them. hopefully he will be back next weekend to assist putting it back together.

More to come next weekend.

Time to check on Irv.
I tried to call him but his number is no longer working.

Anyone know how to reach him? Kind of worried about him.
