Mocking up the new Vintage Air coolant lines. (01-20-20 )
AC Lines
So I am not one for not having a washer between the nut and sheet metal. So back to Ace Hardware to get a "Machine Bushing" which I will use as a washer.
I also ordered a much thicker version from McMaster Carr for the Coolant lines as they seem to put a little more pressure on the firewall.

Nice shop to work on your car and bikes! Your detailing is no OCD just a high standard you go by. I guess sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't, wait that's Almond Joy not Mounds.

Not a fan of how tight this line fits. It's like the line is about an inch to short. So this is going in the garbage and I will have to make a new line.
Eventually I will build a Carbon Fiber Intake tube.

Thank you for the link as I really could of used it instead of taking everyone's word.
On a side note I am kinda "Mounds" guy as I love dark chocolate. Of course as you can see I am a little bit nutty.

Laying out the Holley Terminator X Engine Harness. (01-26-20)
I was a little board and didn't really feel like working on the car and I really wanted to ride but the weather sucked and the trails were closed. SO I put the bike rack back on the car.
Since my drivers door hinges is a little worn I figured this would be the best time to replace the hinges. So I put a small order together.
After looking at this picture it looks like I might have a problem.

I finally found the correct Temp Coolant Switch that plugs into the Holley EFI (01-29-20)
Not sure why I did this but many years ago someone taught me how to make hose clamps round again. It's pretty simple just tighten them around a socket and come back in about 5 minutes and they are round again.
Yep, More blue tape and this one has a reminder on it.

Is this a street car only? I ask because I know its really easy to boil power steering fluid during track days or autocross. A cooler would be a good idea in any case. I like the machine bushing idea for washers, I'm going to have to remember that.
