It Lives! (Almost). Question re headlamp housing
The E-Bay special lives! sort of. Purchased last June, completely rebuilt the 2.0 motor (see the dropped valve seat article).
Adjusted the timing (thanks, Dave) and vac leaks. I actually drove the car to the shop for an inspection (first trip ever) last Thursday. The inspection failed. Front brake hoses look pretty easy. But, the right headlamp housing has some play in it. Is this a worn part? Something to adjust? Thanks

Thank you all! (Dave)
I'm licensed and legal. Runs a little rough, but I've driven it to work in OP a couple of times. there's another string of MO/KS owners. My email address is over there.

Do all the brake hoses at once, if some are bad, all are bad.
There is a plastic plug in the engine tin that makes access to the rear a bit easier from above. Spray on plenty o' PB Blaster on and let it sit a while. Do this more than once. Use those funky brake wrenches, those hoses could be older than you. Thinkabout it, duude
