Sorry For The Delay

By Steven

Well 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. Engine left 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.
