UURGH! Don't you hate doing things over?
 

Word to the (un)wise: If you have a '72T and are finishing up the last touches so you can install your motor in the morning, don't forget to install the oil return hose!:( As in, don't forget to install the oil return hose BEFORE installing the heat exchangers, exhaust system, and MFI pump. I knew I was missing something!

Oh well, the motor's been out of the car for over a year, so what's another day? Or week? Or two weeks? :o

Looks like I'll get some good practice with those heat exchangers in the morning, which are such a joy to begin with! The MFI pump and muffler came off tonight, but I'm too tired and frustrated to do any more.

Oh yeah, I need a beer!

:D

And that's why you're so lucky to have the SNB taproom in your town.

Better than forgeting an oil pump seal!

Or the starter ring gear after the engine is installed.

you took the words right our of my mouth!

I wasn't going to brag, but during my rebuild I didn't have a new o-ring for the transmission guide tube (it doesn't come in the gasket kit, which is nuts). I was too impatient to wait for a new one to come, and I paid for it with another engine drop last week.
