Well, the 'get-to-it' bug finally bit me ...
Pulled the cover off of the 'BB', jacked it up and swept up the pile of dirt from underneath.  Removed the driver's seat and the center console box to access the tunnel to check out the clutch cable's issue.  It looks like the cable somehow missed entering the rear of the tube and is stuck somewhere inside the tunnel. I'll run an inspection camera in there to see where it's hung up.   I may need to pull the cable out at the front of the tunnel, as I believe the pedal clevis is still attached and grabbing something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  Since I have all the components needed for the hydraulic release system, I think I'll be ditching the cable and running the hydraulic hose through the tube. I'll be jacking up the front and sticking another pair of ramps under the front wheels tomorrow. |

Today was TIG day for the construction (can you say cobbling together)of two final oil line fittings / The wierd threaded one that comes out of the lower corner side of the oil tank that goes thru the engine bay metal-work......... and the AN-16 on the engine oil cooler. I mated an AN-12 fitting to each and will make up the final AN12 Braided SS hoses later today.
All oil lines are done and ready to accept oil.... Engine goes in early next week. Perry K. is making up a well coordinated engine harness to seamlessly tie into my MSD AL6 digital and other connectors and various senders etc.Cant wait to get that essential piece of the puzzle. There is some good talent out there. last week late, I visited my engine builder friend in LA to go over the tally sheet and to pay the piper for his sage wisdom (having built well over a hundred 911 engines in his tenure...) and to get the docs on the full rebuild bottom to top..... so preliminary numbers are in: core 82 3.0 / running and valve guides shot when it came out of the donner - 1000.00 not including any FI or intake but included 911 tin, fan/alt, turbo Valve covers and tensioners w/ 993 head studs installed by PO 1200.00 very solid triple Webers on PMO intake manifolds 900.00 WebCam regrind 20/21 300.00 re-curve stock dizzy to Webcam profiles etc. 100.00 Red Shroud I tore down the engine and paid 1000 to have it professionally rebuilt with me documenting the process at every build-session. the mechanic gave me a 15% discount on parts purchased thru Pelican and his other suppliers . parts for the rebuild included(but not limited to) Main Bearings, Rod Bearings IMS outs and inners, two one-piece timing chains,new timing chain sprockets, new rails,24 rocker shaft seals,6 piston ring sets, nuts washers engine gasket set, top end gasket set new belt, sealants, etc. 1450.00 - for parts About 6K just for a rebuilt engine! What was I thinking?!!! I will have to drive it 300,00 miles just to get the build cost for the engine down to 2 cents a mile.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

I agree! Those prices seem really low. Even for a 4.

Had fun playing with my cousins truck today. 496 big block but wheel spin is useless especially vs. 1900 pounds and 240 hp

New CC received, PP reactivated, parts payments will commence (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Little by little, bit by bit, bit by bit, bit - by - bit, by - bit ... Bow to poop deck crawl space achieved ... now to find the creeper and remember where I stored the hyd clutch parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)   I need to pay attention to the wheels some day soon ... they would look much nicer with some elbow grease and wheel paint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Finally warm enough to take outside and get a pic. 72' 4 cylinder 1.7 liter. Not restored, but preserved. Mostly all original, but carb put on for ease of use. (FI saved for the future. ) I paid $3000 a few months ago and have been cleaning and poking it while following this site. Super fun car to drive. Will post more pics as the summer goes on.

Today was load up the tranny with fresh oil (from Bruce at Pelican) then recheck exhaust studs for depth and good threads all around. New nuts and washers etc. Gaskets all around.
Located the MSD coil per Perry K's recommendation on location on the battery hardware / good location based on verticals and coil wire length. Attached image(s)
