then we checked the axles as they had come apart when I removed the engine. Luckily, all the parts were there and in good shape (I found a bearing in the drive way a couple of days after the removal.) one of the boots needs replacement which has caused a delay.

Engine installed last week. Thought we were ready to go. Put gas in and found a leak in the tank. Got a patch brazed on and improved the fuel line routing in the trunk.
Then we found a drop of oil leaking from the intermediate shaft cover plate. Probably due to our metal shim plus paper attempt to seal it. So, out came the engine again. Since it was out, we moved the ignition table forward a couple of inches as it was too close to the rear firewall, which meant a re-fabrication of the support. That, of course, led to moving two power relays and other wiring work. Had to take off the left header to get the left axle and hub back in. I'm becoming an expert at this, which was one of the goals. Hopefully it starts tomorrow.     |

wrapping this up. I replaced Webers with PMO. l cannot extoll too much my satisfaction with PMO and Mr. PMO, Richard Parr. He called me a couple of times. He called my mechanic on a Sunday as he was concerned that we were having trouble getting the engine running right. Turns out we needed 50 idle jets, not the 55's originally included. Richard overnighted them and the car was perfect the next day. It screams and really pulls, especially in 3rd gear. It was a 9-month process but I am very happy. Now, I hope to get in some DE/track events before the bad weather arrives.
Installed. Porn. Hate covering them up with the air filters.  |
