I still fondly remember dropping and ripping apart that transmission with you. The corrosion on it WAS nuts.
Shoot me a PM if I can be a hand before you head off.

I'm going to sleep on that... It would be GREAT to get the steering fixed before any long road trips. Especially before attempting to drive the PCH! I've read up on the steering rack job and it actually looks pretty easy so long as you can get it out of the car!
I was already considering getting boring and just doing 5 all the way down because of lower risk while driving with a 20-30 degree steering dead zone.
Right now I'm struggling with the SSIs: I can't get a wrench on the #5 outboard flange, and of course my tools, the ones that installed that nut, are in storage in Everett. I've spent about 4 hours trying to get a single nut off the damn car. I ran out of desire and time at about 7:30. I'll be reattacking tomorrow morning.
The driver's side is installed and looks beautiful.
I'll get back with you tomorrow... let's see how much I feel like fighting with the rack after I conquer the SSI's.

PS - Did I mention that Pelicans are AMAZING!
