Making progress

I was able to ground the temp and gas gauge only to find out that my fuel sender unit is broken. I'm not sure how hard that would be to repair. The high beam stalk came in and I installed that. 

Things left to do:

 

Wipers aren't working. I don't feel any power going to the motor. I'm not sure if it's the motor itself or if it's the relay or what. I also still need another wiper.

 

I still haven't found a driver side mirror.

 

Looking for the bushing for the gas pedal.

 

Fix/buy a fuel sender unit.

 

Bleed brakes as they feel a little deep. Also, when I pump the brakes with the car off, I don't feel any pressure build up. Would that mean I have a bad brake line somewhere?

 

She's almost ready to pass inspection, so If anybody has any tips or leads on parts I would greatly appreciate it!

Johnny,

 

Not a lot of people check the individual blogs to help folks with their problems... so you are really limiting yourself when you pose questions here.  Don't be afraid to ask any questions on the General Discussion board, it's where everyone can chime in and provide quick answers.

 

You need a fuel sending unit?  Blunt has new ones.

Not sure you'll find the glass for the rearview... new repros are available, again at Blunt

 

Brakes... pedal should be firm and not go to the floor.  Soft pedal that goes to the floor usually means air in the lines, somewhere.  Are you using a pressure bleeder?  Old rubber softlines are a typical culprit to poor braking action.  Replace them...stainless lines are worth it, if you can spare the cash but new rubber is just fine.  

 

 Hope this helps,

 

oh... check the Classifieds for odd parts.  Lots of us have them laying around.
