I need to put in the plug wires, radiator, condensor, fans, shroud, intake components and steering rack.

Before I do all that I need to clean up some fluid spillage under the hood.

I'll probably finish tonight.

Did you take any pics of that threaded rod piece to install the pulley? BTW, any special tips for reinstalling the oil pump?

Actually, I ended up using the old bolt <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> With the ASP pulley I felt like it was deep enough in the threads that I wouldnt have to worry about it stripping. I did use a piece of threaded rod with the 3 jaw pulley for two reasons, It would push on the bottom of the hole, and I wouldnt have to stop pulling to unthread the old bolt some more.

I'll take a picture of that tomorrow.

I'm almost finished, I just need to get some weatherstrip adhesive to hold the foam pieces on the sides of the condensor. before I can put all that back in.

I took mine out after swapping radiator covers with my TRIC install. However, I think I'll replace them with the cam install. The radiator is already out of the car, easy enough.

I agree that the threaded rod is not necessary for the install but you make a very valid point on the removal with the 3-jaw puller. That would save some time. I'd love to borrow that thing for my removal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> BTW, how are you going to heat cycle your springs?

Andy, yeah in about 3-4 weeks I'll do the install. Can't wait to see those wheels man!

Is this the pickup tube on the oil pump you're referring to? Does it attach to this, in the pic:

Thanks.

Thats where the pickup tube goes. When its installed its at an angle. The bolt hole toward the middle of the pump is used on the F-bodys, the one toward the outside is used on the Corvette.

Eric, I'm gonna start my cam install this week (with my TR224) and was wondering if you had a picture of that threaded rod/puller set up so I can fabricate that as well. Thanks.
