Last night was fun. We are back home now, I am somehow not hung over at all. Mike elected to stay in bed instead of joining Noel and Erin and I for breakfast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Alright, I know you all dont care if there aren't any pics. So, I took some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Over the last 2 days I managed to do the following:
- Starter and hot start relay wiring
- Fuel pump and hoses
- CHT wiring installed
- Oil pressure sensor mounted
- Oil temp T made and installed
- Coil, resistor and optical controller installed
- Completed installation of brake booster suck line
- Gear selector cable installed (what a PITA)
- Majority of the cockpit gauges wired, or wiring waiting for final placement of gauge

All that is left:
- Finish hooking up sensors
- Install gear selector under dash
- Buy a battery
- Axles
- Exhaust

The throttle linkage needs to be re adjusted as it is not working as it did before. I do not know why, but I need to set a day aside to have time to deal with it. It may take 15min, it may take a whole day.

And now, the pics.

What a friggen day. The last part of this post will need to be read while you are not drinking anything as to prevent from spitting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The day started off pretty good. There was rain forecasted, but none happened so I decided to head down to try and finish the bus. We still need a second vehicle up and the bus is closer than the Suby at this point.

I went to Lebanon, PA to pick up my under dash A/C unit that I got for the bus (future plans). I then went directly to york to work on the beast.

I managed to get all of the rear wiring done and a battery installed. I was pretty happy about this and figured that the end was near (in a good way).

So, I figured it was time to install the passenger side axle and exhaust since I was finished with that side.

The axles.....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I bought my axles off of Eric Shea at a good deal. They were shipped and marked fragile. Whatever. The axles were contained in bags and there was a baggy of grease accompanying each one. One axle was dropped so hard that it burst the bag of grease all over the inside of the box. Excellent. The axle was clean, though. The other axle had one CV that someone had previously greased and as such the zip ties were missing and the whole damn thing was in pieces (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I HATE reconstructing greasy CVs. Well, that only too too long and made a huge mess. So, off to the beast I go to install the one I just reconstructed. Or so I though. I get under the bus and put the axle into place only to notice that.....it is too short (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) How the hell? So, I try to fit it on the other side and wouldnt you know it,.....its too long! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So, it would appear that my drive train, some how as we trial fit the throttle stuff in the bus, IIRC, is too far over to the drivers side by about an inch (2" too close on drivers, 2" to far on passenger).

Now, I need to drop the engine a little and see if I need to modify the front mount over, the rear bar (I hope not), or both. Oh ya, and the tin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I took pics, but what is the point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Looks like I have a project waiting for me when I go down again. Tomorrow is home work day. Depending on how long it takes, I will likely not be going down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Oh ya, the CV bolts are longer than our 914 type so that was a stopping point. AND, the adapters for the CV to corvair tranz are threaded for 5/15-24 bolts. FINE THREAD!? Why, I do not know. The stock are coarse, 7/16 coarse in grade 8 is readily available, but not the fine ones in grade 8. Oh, the kit only came with 6 and I need 12 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

These last few things are vexing.

If I recall correctly, the half shaft yokes on a Corvette bolt to the wheel hubs with fine thread bolts. I wonder if it's a weird GM thing.

I am just seeing this... D'oh!
It might be faster to just get axle shafts made in a size that fits as things are now. There are a lot of 4X4 shops that make and sell axle shafts for the truck guys.

I am on Theo duty tonight (want to get as much time with him as I can before I fly to CT tomorrow) but I might be able to help after he goes to bed.

I removed the front mount and repositioned it 1.5" to the passenger side. The Axles now fit, but the tin is gonna need some trimming. More work, but not a complete re-do. I HATE working with axles. Fucking things are all greasy and then dirt sticks to every thing, the bolts are all greasy, they dont want to go in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I hope to be done with this on Sat if I work on it. The weather is supposed to be nice. However, I still need to change the bearing hub on the VUE and the head gaskets on the Suby. At least this crap is happening when I am "unemployed" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

FINALLY! Today was a good 11hr work day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I started at 1pm and left for home at midnight (and 33*, burr).

I adjusted the tin and installed the seals which went well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Start, drivers tin removed.
