BTW - you should bleed the brakes on a car like this about once a year since the fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture - even more so where you live....

There! I got the last word! LOL

When I did something like this, it was a guarantee that the axle seal or bearing would go out. :D Brake bleed every year, bologna. Admit you are wrong for the first time in your life. ha

:popcorn2:

When you have a lift --- and a compressor --- and an air driven bleeder.... this is a one man process that takes all of about 20 minutes. It takes that long because I have to set up the ladder to go up and fill the master when the car is on the lift... Did I mention that I've been retired for 23 years which means I have nothing to do all day.... and my **** is all super sanitary underneath?? That means you clean and wipe and prep constantly... service is just a small part of that. I also never use an open can of fluid.... buy fluid in small containers and toss it after it's been opened.

You GIRLS need to raise your game.

Negative style points but the flex is gone and the pulleys line up well. :D

Looking forward to meeting up with Dale at the Beaches Cruise In this afternoon. :thumbsup:

I scrolled through all 188 pages today. Build is very interesting, but one loose end is bothering me - besides you not painting your power steering pump, lol.
I had the same problem with stock power steering pump brackets, so I installed a power steering pump with a remote reservoir setup on a 73 Camaro I had. It helped with the stability of the pump, and appearance.
These are the only pics I can find, but I'm sure you've seen the same setup in better cars.

Just to introduce you to the concept. :D

One day I hope you're lucky enough to grasp the concept of owning multiple cars over multiple years - now stretching into decades -- a large well equipped workspace... and too much time on your hands. That last part being the most important aspect. :D

I'll take the luck and team it with discipline, flexibility, and faith. Only three cars huh?

It's a nostalgic patina pump that hasn't let me down............yet. :knokwood:
When it does it will definitely be upgraded!
