O2 cable, and then all the cables bundled and wrapped. Everything underneath done.

Here is photo proof that I took the rag out of the oil fill cavity. No dumb spill this time.

The last thing I did today was test the fuel system. I cycled the key on about 3 times and listened for the pump going on and shutting itself off. No visible or smellable leaks.

First test today. I cycled the ignition a few more times to check again for fuel leaks, and then started it. BTW, happy with the ITB injection and ignition that starts and idles on the first try.

I let it run for a few minutes, and then looked underneath--all good. Then I let it run for more than 20 minutes and it got up to temperature. Oil pressure reads good, and no idiot light--yet.

Once warmed up, I checked the airflow balance from left to right.

I shut it down and checked underneath. No leaks (yet) from the front galley plugs.

And no signs of leaking (yet) from the cooler seals, and the overlying sender.

I will NOT claim any success until I can drive it a few times.

Fudge! I checked underneath today after the engine cooled overnight. And this was waiting for me.

It looks like the stock screw-in galley plug is leaking. The other plugs and seals don't show any leaks so I guess that's something.

Not sure what I want to do now. I might see if I can R&R the plug without dropping the engine, at least all the way.

OK, fellow maniacs, I thought about this for a couple of days, including laying under the car to eye-ball and imagine, and I decided to try getting to the plug with the engine in place.

To do this, I removed the shift rod, all the heating ducts on the left side, the engine support cross bar, and the left front motor mount. At that point the access was not bad. (note the cross bar is still captured by the clutch cable)
