For the heater piping I was missing the gaskets (if there were ever any there) so, I carefully used the orange RTV high temp gasket maker to help seal up the pipes. It is a little cooler up here in the Seattle area than So-cal so, it is your call.

I used pics from cars on this site to help confirm the set-up of the heater system.

Looks awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Are referung to the brass gaskets that go between the heat exchangers and the engine?

Thanks by the way!

No, I was referring to the connections between the flappers and the J-pipes to the heat exchangers themselves. I used the high temp RTV because I was tired of Carbon monoxide and car fumes getting pumped into the cabin. (Older VW drivers will understand) My heat components were not as nice and straight as yours so, there was some room for 'making it fit'.

The copper nuts were used to secure the HE's to the studs at the bottom of the engine.

Looks Great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Starting to update a little more. Trying to recuperate as I took my cousin to the Lady GaGa concert the other night, which was REALLY awesome.

Took apart the shifter/carb choke from my Dads six, as he is going with a different tranny system, and I like the idea of a choke.

Some before and after pics....

So finally after about a month of no updates, here we are again.


We have a Dually that we use for work, and coming back from an event, it broke down. Not a big deal, just bought a similar one and changed over the body panels, it's just deal with the guy that does it, as he is a tornado in our shop.....

First off, completely took apart, cleaned, and repainted the air blower that goes under the cowl....

Attached Image Attached Image


And of course, upon putting it in, I tightened it too much and cracked it....... so I had to get a new cover, paint that, etc.

Few more updates....

Pulled the tank out of storage, cleaned it, and welded up the return nozzle from the fuel injection. Also painted the sensor. There was a very small amount of gas-crap in the tank, but I'm not worried as it was only in the screen which is to be expected, and furthermore, I have already opened up and checked the tank....

As I mentioned before, I'm going to carbs, so this is the return valve that I clamped and welded shut.

Can not WAIT to hear the sound of those carbs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

A small progress today, but it was in one of those areas that will let me get alot done. Almost completed putting in the heater controls and defrost vents, just have to attach the drivers side wire controls. Took the lower assemblies off a 76', as well as the controls.

I'm really happy with this progress. Although small, it's a big hump that will allow me to put in the air blower, gas tank, brake reservoir, and windshield washer bottle, all of which I can put in relatively quickly.

For the defrost vents, I went to Lowes and bought some foam door weather stripping that has an adhesive on one side, to act like tape. I think this will do well to black the cold air...



The 76' donor....

Cleaned and grabbed the best defrost vents I could find.....

Thanks man!

Finally started to tackle the wiring. It's cool to see my headlights turning on, and the wiper motor going. Heater assembly is also in. Pictures to come tomorrow!

As for now, it's the Dad's 49th birthday, so I'll be needing a special smily for this.....

Got these earlier. A USB charger to keep my iPhone charging even when the car is off, and a set of relays for the center console. Eventually, I'll be adding a 'cradle' for my iPhone to go in the center dash.

Starting off this new week, I'm checking into alarms and automatic door locks. I guess it all goes to the 'while I'm here' mentality.

The other day, in anticipation, pulled the new master cylinder out (21mm). This and the clutch/accelerator/brake cables will go in tomorrow, in addition to the brake wiring and pedal assembly....

Got an hour tonight, so I was able to do a few minor things....

First, got lucky and found the original relay board for my car, and it's in really good condition, even has the cover....
