Thanks 911tweek!

I've put clamps on push on SS lines that don't even need them, so you know I'll be clamping these;)

I mocked mine up with rubber fuel line then took to Amazon and had them make with stainless steel... Fuel is not one of the areas where I trust the connections...

Looks great though - looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Agreed Jeremy! All my pressure lines are SS and most are Amazon SS w/ teflon inside. The rubber return lines IMHO don't need to be as heavy dutySmileWavy

What a great project here. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all here. I'm inspired to go out to my garage and clean something. :)
PM me on that fuel accumulator... My engine is out but I think my accumulator was on the fritz last summer. (intermittent hot start issues)

Thanks GSXRKen, sorry I've already sold the accumulator:(

Last box of EFI parts
 

The final EFI parts are on the way, so I should finally have the motor in within a few weeks:p

In the meantime, I replaced the motor mounts with a set of sport mounts and pulled the flags for sanding, priming, sanding again, base coat, sanding again, top coat:)

Anybody ever paint their flags black on a red car???

black mirrors... no affiliationhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1326735811.jpg

Thanks RSRFan, IMHO if those flags were flat or even satin they would look much nicer.

That would sorta match those satin black wheels and headlight rims I gave ya, lol.

Banner Red Flags
 

I decided to go back with the original color:p

Did you order you seat mounts from sparco or fab them? Are they adjustable?
Car is looking fantastic! Wish I had more time to work on mine.

Thanks 5.7GT1SmileWavy

I bought both the adapter/seat base bracket and the sliders from Sparco.

Sparco USA

However, with your skills you could fab up the adapters in no time, but since they were so cheap I decided against making my own: cut/weld/grind/paint/repeatx2;)

CV Joint Rebuild
 

Today I pulled the CV joints apart and found 1 outta 4 is acceptable to reuse, so I'm replacing all 4.

I took the time to label and organize the parts in case I reused them:

Did you see a lot of galling on the balls, or the races? I've taken a lot of them apart over the years and the always seem reusable...

As you can see by the way I kept everything in order I figured I'd see minor wear and would be able to reuse them all, but that was not the case. The balls all seemed fine and reusable although some were discolored. 3 of the 4 races had deep cruves & pitting where material has worn away over the years. Only 1 set outta the 4 was acceptable. Looked like only one of the 4 had been serviced, so the grease in the other 3 was dried and full of metal shavings which I'm sure added to the wear seen.

Not sure what kinda interval these CV joints should be cleaned and repacked, but I think 25 years is prolly pushing it:rolleyes:

I don't think it's a good idea to work on ball races, because they are hardened (in your case probably no longer).

They will have too much play which can cause failure and wear immediately..
