Changed the oil and adjusted the valves.
Tomorrow, weather and time permitting, I hope to run through a carb sync. |

Did a little pre-spring cleaning at the shop today. In all my haste to get the 'BB' ready for the Route-66 Run, I left the shop in a mess with tools and supplies strewn all about the place.
Removed the vinyl and foam padding from my rear targa pad, going to try covering it with perlon carpet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Also pulled some -4 rear hubs and cleaned them up ... anybody in the market for some good clean ones? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Changed out my fuel pump. While I was at it I relocated it. Figured the easiest place to get to it in the future was the rear wall of the engine bay. I moved the filter up there also and installed a PSi gauge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Might have a problem................ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
The pump is kinda noisy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Can't really hear it when motor is running (i do have a exhaust leak) But it is louder up top then it was under the car... I'll fix the leak and see how it sounds later on. Might have to move it if it's too loud after the car is fixed. |

I'd move it up front, out of the engine bay, but if not, try mounting it with some rubber dampeners to take out some of the vibration (noise transfer) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Was going to use a couple rubber washers also but couldn't find any. I know there are threads about putting it up front. But I didn't want to have to pull my fuel tank if I needed to work it was my train of thought. Just didn't concider the pump running noise. Right now it's only an issue when motor is off. |

I drove mine into town to Redbox for some movies. Only a few days left on my LE on ebay. Figured I better get a few more rides in it before it is gone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

New fuel lines, fuel level sender gasket, filler neck gasket, and fuel cap gasket. Thanks to Mikey 914 and Racer Chris I have no more gas smell.

Blasted and sprayed my window regulators with cold galvanizing spray.
Cleaned up the headlight motors and di-electric greased all electrical points. Getting as many sub-assemblies ready for my cars return from paint next week after being gone for almost 8 months! WTF! |

Removed the PO's Porsche reflector between the rear tail lights and filled all the holes left behind. Enjoyed the sheet metal work to get it flat without bondo.
Instead of reinstalling a stock push button trunk release, created a custom stealthy trunk-release solution. No chrome wart sticking out the back, just an almost invisible key slot. |
