Time for one more step: get the back end hoisted up and check a few more things in the engine compartment. I think I am ready for lifting the engine.

Instead of 914 work I spent a couple of hours playing with old snow. I shoveled back snowbanks in the shade not melting (except a little each day which then makes ice on the driveway), and big ice dams at the street that makes a skating rink every morning. Party my OCD and partly my wife's worries about slipping. I would do this for the elderly neighbors so they didn't have to lift if I was at work. Fingers crossed I'm back in too Kevin |

Step 3: roll into place under the car. Plenty of vertical clearance for the ITBs.

A good chance to connect the fuel lines, before bolting the right ITB in place. My preference is to double clamp all the connections where possible.

Now just hook up all the cables and bits, and off we go! (Yes, I need a work cover--got something in the works.)

Speaking of work covers, here's what I'm thinking. I got some 1/4" wool felt.
