Got my reconditioned pump back yesterday.
Spent yesterday evening and this afternoon putting it back in.
Lots and lots of white smoke when I started it. Seemed to dissipate over 15 mins or so, (I was watching it as I added coolant to top up the system). Then I had a few hiccups on the way up the street on the first drive, some more smoke, and eventually it stopped belching.
White smoke on startup was why I got this rebuilt in the first place (well, also it had 262k kms and was 32 years old), so I'm hoping this was trapped air, and that a cold start tomorrow will give me a slight puff and then Cruiser bliss?

Installed some new quarter windows with new frames, weatherstripping.
Tore down the entire dash and firewall in prep for cleaning and reassembly.

At least you won't need a pine air freshener.
Headlight upgrade to LED. H4 harness fixed high beam indicator issue and ensured low/high functionality on first test. Still need to wire in turn flasher and eventually DRL.
There is a yellow two pin plug coming off the headlight harness, behind my finger. Anyone know what that is for?

Potpourri! Little bags of that are worth big bucks! Seriously though....Thats nasty. I'm so glad that's not from my truck....um.........wait a second....
That stuff looks like the stuff that comes out of my pants pockets after a few days of tree work...

Luckily the dishwasher works great! 5 loads last night.
And voila!!
Cascade? 
Pods, of course.
Pro tip:
Dishwashers are NOT safe to use... if married.

And definitely not a golfer.
Any chance you have a step by step for disassembly?
The factory manual has everything you need to know about disassembling the dashboard.
Smash and grab last month. @ofer bruhis to the rescue! I asked where to order new glass, and he said he had one 7 miles away, but he didn't know which side, and told me to come by the next day after work. Fortunately he had the correct side, and I installed it the following day. Less than 3 days start to finish, and it didn't rain. This greatly reduced the sting of losing $700 of snap-on wrenches my uncle gave me 30 years ago.
Thanks again Ofer, I owe you big.

I used to run my keyboards thru the dish washer, works great as long as you let them dry out 100% before you plug them back in.
I got tired of bathing my dog, so I just stick her in the dishwasher now. Just remember to use dog-safe soap, not dishwasher soap.
