And the fuel pressure regulator. It is bolted to the support for the engine compartment cover. The battery tray is just to the left of it, in the picture.

Tomorrow, the plan is to install a battery, do a smoke test (i.e. no major short circuits), crank the engine over to get fuel and oil pressure, test for spark, then turn everything off. Can't wait for those ignition wires !

Michel

An update on Michel's project, today the rear glass and windshield were put in. The rear window went fine. The windshield was a bit messier to put in. Michel will have to do some urethane cleaning, the good news is that there will surely be no leaks.

Marc-André, it's good to hear from you, I hope you still have your blue beauty, you should see Michel's car in person, the flares are nice, hint, hint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Short update.

I did some cleaning-up of the goop around the windshield, and am now pretty sure it will come out ok. It is a bit more work than expected, though.

Marc-André, nice to hear from you. Stop by to see the project the next time you're in town.

Michel

p.s. anybody who's on the board is welcome to stop by.

The engine has started !

That's the good news. Saturday in the afternoon, after connecting the ignition wires, and spending quite a bit of time figuring out why I was'nt getting fuel at the carbs (I had inverted the feed tube and the return tube upstream of the fuel pump) it started on the first pull. Woohooo !

Bad news is that I'm getting a pretty massive oil leak in one of the external oil lines. It's one that I made myself, and it looks like I did not get enough penetration on some of the welds. Oh well. I now have the line out of the car, and I'll take it to my friendly hydraulics shop to have another one made, but by a real welder.

So, the engine has run maybe a minute so far. Still, it's quite a step.

I have yet to install the halfshafts, and that has been today's project. Here's the two of them, all apart.

One of the original /6 CV joints is bad, with significant grooving of the outer race, if that's the word. So I will use an early 911 CV joint instead. The differences are simply the abscense of a shallow groove on the outside of the outer race, in which the gasket rests and the lack of the drive pins.

I figured that I could drill a the holes for the pins with a letter "W" bit, but I wore out the only one that I have before even finishing the first hole. Those races certainly are hard steel. I'll need to get a cobalt bit to finish.

As for the gasket, it'll simply be a matter of having to endure a little bit more hastle when assembling.

Otherwise, life is good. My stepdaughter is in the hospital delivering a boy, as I type this. Can't wait to get the call to go see it. (gives new meaning to "labor day" !)
