OMG......getting close to lift off
« on: April, 03, 2010, 10:45:36 AM »
What's left?
Fuel,
Water/coolant
Prime motor again
Fuel sending wire connect
Radiator cap

Stanger53 still has my correct power steering so I'll fire it up without it.  The one in the pic belongs to Red whenever I get around to installing it.


Negative cable is a tad too short.  Will seek one a couple inches longer.


Note to self....Finish hooking up the pcv and breather caps when they arrive.  The black breather cap is not being used.


Get a life MOFO!

Is it the white-board that makes the difference?

And yes, I'll remove the S & I blue stickers off the solenoid....

And yes, I will remove the "Craig, you don't know have what it takes to start me. Shag" comment behind the eraser so Pete can use
his X-Ray eyes somewhere else....

You know BP?  It's very rare that I have ever really listened to you.  Glad I did then.

Just a little bit of inspiration for your up coming lift off :) You will have to click the links










In another life I was someone else but now I'm who I'am. Well sort of on alternating Tuesdays if my Meds are just right.

Nice looking engine bay there. But I was wondering where the control valve for the heater core coolant flow is?
If its already broken...I can't hurt it!

John,
I think I am now ready but honestly part of the deal is that the engine builder wants to be there and he could not on Friday or yesterday.  Today the street is closed for a bicycle race so I can't even get to the warehouse.  Weather permitting I'm going to push for Thurs/Friday of this week.

Mustang Charly, You are funny.

Yeah as soon as I can address the possible spark issue, then I'll call my builder to schedule latter part of this week.

I have been trying to figure out how to tell if a car has a spark issue without the car running.
