How is the nut clearance to the fan blades? I know some have slightly ground down the bigger nut and extra shaft.

Fuel Tank before removal

 

The Open Cavity

 

POR15 LATER... weather/gasket attached.  Now , to pickup the stainless 6m bolts

 

 

Nicely cushioned above the weather/gasket 

 

Now,  I’ll re-connect the fuel lines and move back to workin’ on getting the engine started.

 

I still have to firgure out how to connect up the remaining lines/electrical left from the “Emission’s Delete”.  Still haven’t found a concise enough description/detail of What-goesl-Where..... but, THE TANK IS IN!!!

Took out my light buckets.  The last 4 months I devoted to dismantling my 74A o2.  I would remove a part study everything I could about the part,  clean&restore.  Rinse&Repeat...... In anticipation of the build I cleaned & restored the license plate holder and the headlight buckets.  Not sure I want to keep the Brass ring brass..... we’ll see......

 

Headlights are Sylvania’s 

 

I’m using  6M allen/aircraft bolts to secure the license plate.... I mean,  who carries an allen wrench to steal a license plate?  Having been a police officer I was called out to people who’s plates were stolen.  I would always recommend Allen bolts, and by that time, they knew why... go figure

Yes, my lic. Lights F@#$ 

I’ll pick up a new set of light lenses  for $80........ Oh Boy!

 

 

 

Having worked in the trunk for a few days I also removed the side lights...... This is alot of fun!!!

Spent the wee hours of the morning trying to fix my idle air valve that broke yesterday... Its getting signal, but fix it I could not. Oh well, time to finish the stepper install!

Drove the 1975 02 early up the 405 north to the 118 west to the 126 west to the 150 up to Ojai, California. Phew. Had breakfast with a friend and hung around until it was an acceptable time to have a Topa Topa Brewery beer on a Sunday.

 

Had a walk around, cute town.

 

Then hit the famed Route 33 for some very fun canyon driving through Los Padres national park before turning off on Lockwood Valley Rd to the Frazier Park side then I-5 south back to LA.

 

Got home at 2 and read about LED taillight blubs from superbright on the forum since apparently you can’t see me braking in daylight... problem.

 

Cleaned out the taillight housing and replaced the blubs in the meantime until LED arrives. Decent improvement.

 

Then I ran the 1969 car’s engine for a few minutes until I got bored and decided to take it down Pico and back around for a quick jog. Mashed it pretty hard while still respecting the neighborhood.

 

Missed the super bowl entirely.

Installed this NOS Air Diverter Valve over weekend. I will find out how much HP added after this installation next weekend.

While I was on vacation in Mexico City this weekend I had my seats recovered so they would be done by the time I got back. Just got to installing them tonight - so much better with new straps!! My father had the center sections made from a Porsche material when he worked at Recaro in 1979/80. They've been sitting in his garage ever since. Nice German velour.

Your door handle angle is too low.

 

My favorite handles anyway!

I adapted a set of E30’s...I thought they turned out well.

Picked up a set of Flofit seats with matching rears this weekend at the ‘02 meet in West Seattle.  Big thanks to Patrick at Midnight Motorsport for letting me switch out the interior over at his shop. (Only took 20 minutes) Thanks to Teelinger as well for cutting me a great deal on the price.
