Trying to get this Sniper install wrapped up.

Been too busy with other junk lately.

Ran metal line from pump to Sniper, now working on return line. Going metal there as well.
In the middle of getting an adapter for the water temp sender, but in the mean time running it inline with heater hose and an adapter.

Also decided to build a separate fuel return line into the fuel filler neck. Drilled it and soldered in 3/8 metal line bent 90 degrees and pointing towards the tank.

This way I can customize the vent line separately. I will be adding a mini charcoal canister to the vent line. Discovered many efi conversions are using this method with great results. Its designed to filter the vacuum line on a brake booster for corvettes.

Lots of progress on new harness!

Working on some fresh air:

Question: is the cowl fresh air not able to work with a heater? The top of my heater and part of the linkage hits. See below:

Made a floor to replace the rusted out one that was previously there! For under $60!

Adding some more metal from MetalTech. It’ll be on soon.

I taught my son the words birfield, grease, and gloves.

Made some headway on a front axle tear down and he was excited to help.

hOOter

Made a little progress this weekend. Got a friend coming over in the morning with a cherry-picker to help with the installation.

That's thee before shot.... Where's the after?

Decided to use my new M12 Fuel angle grinder to cut through the passenger side paint to find more underlying rust spots. Treated with converter and then went a little crazy with the primer. Definitely not a show queen, but cleaned up.

As I was waiting for that to dry, I decided to stick an exacto-knife through my thumb. Only 3 stitches and back to work. Lol.

Whoever says that watching paint dry is boring apparently hasn't met @KingAir Driver !!

Going to make the rear look more like the front.

$50 for the 4 OEM flares that were being scrapped. The front 2 will be got rid of one way or another (they have no place being near a land cruiser).




They were originally off a F&@$(;(/g $x$ J&@$ TJ. If you must know.



My 40s blood is far from being pure... but it’s thick enough to not be infected by Chrysler contamination.

Fixing a fender on my beater..

What heater do you have? the 74+ heater interferes with the fresh air mechanism.

Yessir, that is the problem. So I guess I will take the fresh air assembly out and plug the top. Bummer.

So I will have a turn key fresh air assembly if anyone is interested. All new soft parts from City Racer.

That's too bad. I did the exact same thing about a month ago. Currently working out in my mind how to actuate the damper without the pull rod. I'm not giving up.

 

[Advrider639]

I've been looking at making a small recessed pocket in the top of the heater.... but not sure how well it'll work out. I know using my blower motor and fresh air will work much better, but I really like the mechanical aspect of the damper!

Went from this...

To this:

Almost done. Pressing the lug studs in tonight and installing the rest. Calipers and new, longer hoses to follow tomorrow, and I should just about be ready to go play with it this weekend.
