I also created yet another list.

Maybe it's the wrong fitting (( Yes back to the Oil Pressure Switch ))

Coolant Hose Modification (( 06-08-23 ))
 

Dennis at High Speed Welding made some modification on the Coolant hose to help keep the hose in place.

I plan to just paint the ends as they will be covered by the hoses.

It looks a little better

Picked up a new Thermostat

Test fitting the lower hose to make sure there is a sufficient gap.

I brushed on a little paint and primer in one gloss black. I am sure that I will powder coat these again next Winter.

Well, It's out again !!! (( 06-09-23 ))
 

Okay, here is what we know and here is how we solved it.

Apparently the guys at Wagner put in a adapter in the block and left it open when they shipped it
to me. I was able to figure that out by all of the pictures I took.

Thank God !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6e130c0-me.jpg

I tried one last adapter and of course it didn't fit.

Trying to figure out what actually goes in that hole has become a giant pain in the butt.

Coolant hoses going on for the last time I hope (( 06-10-23 ))
 

Hopefully, this will be the last time these hoses go on.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d8eeb98-me.jpg

Lower hose went on very easy

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9e3c4d8-me.jpg

Thankfully I have an assortment of small tools that made it easy to install and tighten the hose clamp.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1f53fb2-me.jpg

I did need to trim just a little bit of the hose.

Another while your here moment.

Trying to decide how I am going to secure the Vintage Air wire to the AC Hose. (( I'm looking for some cool idea's ))

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c8d571b-me.jpg

I moved to the underside of the car since I remembered that I needed to cap a sensor that I may use in the future.

Neatly tucked up on top of the transmission.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...bca68b4-me.jpg

I found it (( 06-11-23 ))
 

Here is what I know there was something in that hole and I remember it. However, I have no clue where it is.

This time I decided to remove the Wiring that was in the way to make it easier to try to figure out what the heck the adapter is.

When the car came apart there was a plug in the back of the block. So, I decided to spent some more time looking through
all of the parts that where in the attic and in the trunk of the car and I finally found it !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...64ffd8e-me.jpg

Of course I put it in and it works.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...aa414ae-me.jpg

In the end it is a -4 ORB fitting that Kenny modified to close up the hole.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c4c9c56-me.jpg

(( 06-13-23 ))

I headed over to High Speed Welding to have him make the fitting I needed which is a -4 to 1/8 NPT

I also removed the tape that Andrew AKA Dr EFI put on the Injector Harness.

Swing set braces!
 

Ummm... those metal braces aren't powder coated the same color and they don't appear to have ARP hardware!

LOL - So True

I just ran out of time and I want to get this car on the road this year. Even if it kills me it will be driving soon.

Glad you got that leak figured out. It's the stupid little things that can really drive you nuts.

Enjoying the thoroughness of your updates MJ.

With Remy overseeing, no surprise you’re closer to the finish line.
