Sorry For The Delay
ByWell when time permitted over the last 2 weeks, when not fighting our computer virus, we have been busy assembling the external engine parts. We now have installed the power steering pump, water pump, oil filter canister, fuel pump, oil switch and coolant temperature sensor. All are now wired and plumbed correctly.
The generator and starter are in and connected along with the fan belts. We also installed the carburetor, which is back from a complete re-build and put in the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carb. We are almost ready to go.
We also spent much time installing the exhaust manifolds. When we opened the exhaust system boxes we realized that no flanges were included to attach to the manifolds, we had to get a pair of those. It took better than an hour to route the tranny cooling lines up through to where the radiator will be.
