I got more parts on the way. EGR block off plate, air rail plugs, spark plugs, oil filters, water pump, and water temp sending unit. yay.

Should have more work done this weekend. :banana:

Told ya'll i'd get something done :flipoff2:

Still waiting on the Jtoutfitters order for more parts.

I'm happy. :bounce::bounce2::bounce:

And for those of you wondering about me working on the transmission and transfercase. Me and my brother started to work on it, but after about 30 minutes we decided we would install it as is. The inside of the transmission looked fine. no metal shards or anything. I don't think it was leaking either. The rear main just made everything look like it was leaking.

BTW how long does it take tires to flat spot? I'm kind of worried about mine. They have been sitting since April :o

Thanks guys!

Dude, i'm curious as to how your thermostat housing seals up. Please let us know.
I mock put my new stuff all together with the o-ring and thermostat and it looks like it will need some torque down to squash that o-ring. It was minus the housing gasket mind you.

Have you read about splitting the radiator shroud to make future access easier?

Nope, that sounds like a good idea though. I'll look into it.

I'll let you know. If my parts come today :hillbilly:

I was planning on using the housing gasket and some blue RTV to make sure i have no leaks.
 
Got my parts today.

Installed thermostat, fuel pump, and a few hoses

My housing also had gap when placed on thermostat and o-ring.

Got 4 new bolts from Autozone because one of the old ones broke. I think size was M8 1.25x40mm. Had to have them all match :) Just tightened it down with gasket and blue RTV and no gaps!

Should have more work done tomorrow :banana:

Awesome. Bet you are ready to pull it out of the garage.
 
So I got a few loose things to tie up before I can get things ready to go.

Just need to know what these things are / where they go.

I know thats where the T goes but where does the line go?

Brake Booster Vac? it comes from charcoal canister

Vacuum to something I don't have? (desmogged)

This is on the passenger side fender right next to the battery. No clue. haha

Thanks Guys!
 
Pic 1 is the PCV circuit, and I believe it connects to the air cleaner ( I believe ).

Pic 2 is for the EVAP system. Hose plugs into the hole in the middle of the carb insulator.

Pic 3 are the two vacuum advances for the dist. The secondary ( smaller ) one is the HAC compensator, and I don't recall where the primary one connects to.

Well sounds like I'm removing the first one.
Plugging in the second one to the weber
and capping the ports on the dist.

Any takers on the random plug? :D

Oh and something else:

What does the smaller port on the distributor cap plug in to? (Sorry I don't have a pic of that)
