Began mounting new condenser and fan. Almost finished.

 

Can you share pictures? Always interested in an air conditioning installation.

I spent some time today working on the blue ‘73. I re-jetted the Weber to Cd specs. I recreated new air cleaner mounts from some tracing I made of a previous set. I should be modifying the 2bbl air cleaner for the Weber tomorrow.

Toyed with the idea of just doing a rear seat delete rather than getting the set of 6 series seats I have recovered...


Not sure yet

Replaced upper timing chain cover gasket and adjusted the valves.

 

Another tip to add to you Armamentarium of 2002 Mechanical Knowledge:

After removing coolant hose clamps...

Part 1:  To prevent loss of coolant, replace all of the clamps your remove.  Repeat, all.  Not just most of them.

Part 2:  To prevent loss of more coolant, replace the aforementioned previously neglected clamps correctly.  Not just sorta, kinda, pseudo, quasi correctly. 

 

Oh, man...

Disconnected everything under the hood in preparation of dropping the motor. Removed the intake as well for extra clearance.

Nice.  Don't forget the speedo cable, steering column and the clutch hose...

So... whats that shiny stuff on your exhaust manifold? ?

[2002#3]

Ceramic coating (outer and inner; Keco Engineered Coatings, Indianapolis).  The exhaust down pipe was also coated.  I do  not remember which of their coatings was used:  Cerakote?  Keco 400?  I think Keco did a great job.

 

Other views of the coated exhaust manifold are below.
