To be fair, I haven’t turned a wrench on jets in many years. And my hood doesn’t flip-flop like John Kerry.
Paul’s attention to detail and diving as deep as he is, is awesome. It’s a lot all at once so fingers crossed she runs *perfectly* straight out the gate.

Same, what a wonderful place.
This also answers why the PO of my rig sprayed foam insulation in the seams of my bonnet, which was confounding to me when I removed the hood insulation pad to replace it this week.
I had been debating whether or not to cut it out while I wait for the new insulation pad to arrive.
@TYM4FUN yours looks a lot cleaner.

Top panel of my hood would dance up and down while at speed. Factory sealer fails.
I haven’t noticed this happening on mine. I don’t even have the factor heat blanket/shield anymore. This thread makes me think that my years long rolling restoration is seriously lacking…..

From what I have seen you have kept yours up well! Thought after thought, I come to the conclusion that a few months now will save me many fold more in the future of time and money.
I agree. It's far easier and more efficient to do a chunk of stuff in one big hit than it is to do bits and pieces. Plus, you can get in and do a thorough job of stuff you might otherwise rush, or put off

Misc bits came in. Large seal on the hood had to be removed for the cleaning process, so new clips for that. New fender liners to replace the missing and damaged ones and clips. Never fails that I lose the A/C tensioner bolt, so a new one. New dizzy rotor, plugs, inspection cover and an air intake hose.
Dangled the power steering cooler for a couple days and slowly added fluid. I would top up and self bleed over time then repeat.
Oil pan back on.

New battery (made in USA 
) and testing all the new circuits. No smoke and all systems working. Fog lights auto off with headlights like planned. Perfect. 
Waiting for some Blue Sea stuff to finish the cables and main fuses.

Are you winding this up now. Amazing work man. Thorough would be an understatement.

Current time line: Valve cover back from paint, bleed fluids, weld up downpipe. I take some time off for Thanksgiving with the kids, so HOPEFULLY the week after that...

Getting closer. What was your reason for the smaller washer fluid bottle?
Gotta love the 200 horns. Those are probably going on my 97. My 94 got the CT200h horns which also sound sexy.
