Went over to Nicks and got my door to open again and installed some bilsteins--Man those things are awsome. Drank some beers and then painted the engine bay. Not easiest to do with everything in it. Also learned Rustoleum is extreamly hard to get off of your face.

Just finished painting. Looks better than I expected. Now I get to put it all back together. Oh boy.

Used it to hold my jacket off of the floor while I took apart my pressure washer. Talk about a high dollar coat rack.....

Fabbed up a clutch equalizer bracket boss. Note just buy the one from Widlhorses. Also remember to drill out the bellhousing prior to installing engine PITA %)

Fabbed a bracket for the 90 Nissan Maxima power steering reservoir.

Installed new, to me, radiator.

After nearly a month of wiring, I jumpered the last few connections and fired the motor. Lit off on the first crank and idled even without the O2 sensors in place. (Proud moment for me) :cool: Set the timing, backfired and ran poorly till I remembered to reinstall the spout connector.

Now I have to mount the fuel pumps and accumulator. Which will involve moving the left exhaust to the passenger side. Now that I know it works, I need to remove all the wiring and tape and loom it all, then reinstall. That RJM harness is starting to look like a deal after all the hours involved so far.

Replaced a leaking heater hose on Saturday. Played around with timing and carb tuning. Beat my head against the wall trying to get rid of ignition noise on my CB radio.

Yesterday I put 23.21 gallons in what I thought was a 23 gal tank. I knew I was coming home on fumes and called the wife to warn her that I may need a rescue. Didn't need it, but now I wonder just what tank I have and what I need to calibrate the sender and gauge.
