and my new to me, kerosene heater : ))

just bought my first few gallons of kerosene today.

That's a real looker, Jim! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Please tell your wife to tell you not to run that in a sealed garage. Not sure how much ventilation you will need, but I am guessing that will require some.

ok - she IS ugly and rusty - but nice and warm : ))

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) i'll be sure to allow some fresh air into my work area

i ordered today from AA, cause it is easier to find parts on their site than pelicans.

the 2 MC banjo metal gaskets, the fuel tank strainer and 2 gaskets, filler neck gasket. its the little things and ship time that cause delays.

i hope that i have no leaks at any of the 10+ brake line connections i made yesterday, we'll see. then i'll be on to installing fuel lines/pump.

stopped by advance auto and ace hardware today to get a few bits.

i'm gonna initially go low tech with my fuel system to speed up the process.

ace does have a nice selection of small to medium grommets.

i'm looking at buttoning up/doing the following...

fuel system
brake system
shift linkage
electrical/ignition
loose rear suspension and full alignment
install seats and seat belts
etc

still waiting on my banjo bolt waskers for the brake system, so i decided to get the engman block off plates installed and noticed i need a couple of correct brake line clips. looks like i'll need to replace one of the soft lines too, to the type that take the flat clip - later style.

i want to get the brakes completed and bleed before i move on to fuel lines/pump - so i don;t get ahead of myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

i rushed when originally cutting out the holes in the front wheel wells, so tomorrow i will clean them up a bit to more resemble each other (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

engman fuse panel in.

the hardest part was mounting it back up once wires were all connected to it.

**also note where each relay was and which had the metal reay in it.

i think i will get 2 longer screws and drill some 1/4 inch plates to let the fuse panel rest 1/4 further into car. the wires there hinder easy peasey reinstall.

BTW - the right way would be to heat shrink wrap all the female connections.

see a different installed pic

went to ACE but could not find a suitable 1/4" thick piece of plastic to make a spacer out of - so i went with a grommet inside of a grommet. of course ACE had the longer metric screws needed.

question - the thick yellow wire under the dash - that is not connected on my vcar, what is it for??

and i have a thin yellow wire tapped into a black wire qwith brown stripe?

my car had an alarm system in it when i bought it, that i removed.

But, on that 911, the rear needs to be raised up 1/2". Looks like he rolling with fat chicks in the back...

been slackin and might get back to slackin again, who knows.
but my attempt at jerry rigging a throttle cable came out good : )
could not use the tunnel and it was not open all the way from end to end and I have no way to clear it out at the moment. so I ran a bicycle cable outside the tunnel.
next up I need to check clutch cable setting.
and I have decided to swap out proportioning valve for an adjustable unit cause I must have tons of air in my brake lines : (

pn's for lokar stuff:

starting to get some peddle. cracked the lines at the MC and let them drip a bit under pressure from my Motive Power Bleeder and going caliper to caliper several times. I think I need to drive it some to move the rest of the bubbles outward. one thing is my rubber hose on my Motive sprung a leak twice now, due to ???, it is a mess when the line springs a leak UNDER PRESSURE : (

doing a little more wiring today. adding to what I did last week. to get my horn and wipers working enough for inspection. latter I will try to fix correctly using car;'s harness. gonna run 10 guage wire to all fuse blocks so I can feed all relay pin 30's with 10 guage wire.

horn and wipers are now wired and working. also installed 2 emergency brake line clips on rear trailing arms, that I bought new at pelican cause my old ones were rotted.

carb has crap in it, so I must pull it apart and clean it out of any debris. then I should be able to take it for a spin and get it registered.
