Got back from 2 weeks of work travel.

Since the radiator was getting some welding to redo the lower pipe, I took the opportunity to paint the core support...

So with the miscellaneous parts I have arriving this week, I have probably almost everything I need to fire up the car. I'm only missing a Holley 0-100 pressure sensor for dome pressure, and a wideband (let buddies buy those off me when they were in need). Hopefully between family activities I can get it all done.

Yesterday I had a little time so I re-ran the oil drain for the turbo, should be okay now.

I got my 3/8 NPT to 1/4 tube fittings (from Mettle Air) so I can hook up the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line and my BOV.

Get it done John! All those pictures you posted of your "work trip" made me jealous. Haha

Hopefully at least one of our cars will be running soon.

Mannnnn I'm just trying to follow you big dog.

I'll be happy to fire this thing off and drive it a bit before we get snow. Gives me the winter to clean up some stuff, mount the pin on hood and do some odds and ends.

Lol, I had to take the summer off from the car and relax a bit to just enjoy the summer. Finally getting back to it again.

That would be great to have it at least running so you can find any potential fixes before snow flies! Then you can have it ready to rock early next season.

Earlier on I was willing to take the car to someone and have them do it. Nobody had time so we started doing all the work at my house. After a certain point folks showed interest in finishing it but now I want to fire it up at home.

Would have been nice but I had some small parts issues. I have some little parts on their way. Wed-Fri is my new target.

Thanks for the nudge.

I put in 6 qts of trans fluid, went over some stuff, put in the DS. DS I think will need a different u joint, will investigate. But plan to fire without it being hooked up. Dropped off PTE WG to have top tapped 1/8 NPT for dome pressure sensor.

My local buddy who has experience firing a Holley and I are trying to fire car tomorrow.
