and thankfully my wife doesn't go out to the garage much and mess with my stuff

Have you every had that feeling (( 07-25-22 ))
 

So have you ever had that feeling that you didn't torque something correctly so just to be safe I rechecked everything
and good news it was correct.

So don't ask me where this grommet came from as I would love to have another one.

I think it makes the wire loom exit look much cleaner.

Checking the fuel lines and building the new AC Line (( 08-13-22 ))
 

I am finally getting closer to starting this car so I need to start making sure all of the lines are tight.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...051f0ba-me.jpg

I have to remake one of the AC lines so today was the perfect day.

Installing the Driveshaft (( 08-14-22 )) WTF !!!
 

So, I had a little bit of free time so I decided I would install the U-Joints and put the driveshaft in. Well, that didn't go so well
as I couldn't get the U-Joint seated. I was able to install the axle side with no issue's but the tailshaft side was a no go.

Brake Line Swap and just another small detail (( 08-21-22 ))
 

Putting the old brake lines back on to see if they leak and I might as well clean them up a little bit.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3f8961f-me.jpg

I have seen this done on a few cars and I like how it looks.

Power Probe 3 and the Driveshaft Yet Again (( 09-04-22 ))
 

So, I went out and bought the Power Probe 3 for the final wiring and to figure out a couple wiring issue's. I picked it up at Harbor Freight with a 25% discount & gift card when it was on sale so I paid $125. It's kind of one of those tools that I will use a few time but boy is it fun to play with.

So back to the driveshaft and good news is I get to use my Grandfathers Vice to crush this bitch.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...60af149-me.jpg

Might as well plug in all of the sensors.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...87dab22-me.jpg

Not using this one.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0357818-me.jpg

I also spent a little time cleaning up the top drawer of my wiring box.

Looking good. Sorry I couldn’t find those part numbers before you did. I got sidetracked. My-bad lol But thanks for posting them. I always thought they were metal. When I seen a post before referencing them, I just assumed just that brand was plastic.

How do you like the Master Cool A/C crimper tool. I can only imagine how high the cost went up from before Covid-19
