Well, Tim and I just got back from Warren's house after wrenching the entire day. It was really quite a fulfilling day, though the original plans for an engine swap dematerialized...Unfortunately, Nick needed some sleep. Hope the rest was well--sounds like a bugger of the trip!
Got to Warren's around 10am and basically started to dive right in. We needed to put his windshield glass and his gasket on. This became a three hour or so affair--Karl, Jim C., Tim, Warren and myself struggled for a bit. Finally got it in and ... we (more me) busted the windshield with some major cracking. Warren's going to throw it on anyway!!
Next we started on the knuckle job for Warren's many yeared 40...tidbit of info: 80 series wheel bearings fit nicely into the 40 series hub....perfect fit!
Marty showed up--sans 40...but his 80 series with serious bling was looking good...no roof rack either--lucky dude...
Then we got some hardcore carb tuning instruction from Jim C. Then a bit of distributor work and the evening was upon us. Lots of good food, lots of and a nice thunderstorm to finish off the evening.
Thanks for having us Warren and glad we could get some quality work done on the 40. Looking real good. Can't wait for the next wrenching session.
Pics are below.
Best regards.
