Major Update

Got the Alternator Mount Bushings into the top Alternator Bracket. I was able to install some windshield wiper bushings as the replacements, after taking the metal plating from the inside of them. Bought some smaller washers to go infront, and behind them for extra support.

Bottom Bracket went on great with the new rubber bushings. I also got some 3-way T-Crosses for the two loose Vacuum Hoses, and for connecting to the loose slot in the Vacuum Amplifier.

I also cleaned up as much oil as possible from the Throttle Housing, Intake Boots, Mixture Control Plate, and the Air Filter Housing. I replaced the Intake Boots, and lower Radiator Hose.


I am now left with installing the new Battery, and putting in the new Air Filter to the Housing. After that she should fire up good. Let her heat up a bit, and then drain the oil and add the new Amsoil I recently got from online.

If all works well from here, I can back the car out, and put the rear wheels up on the Car Ramps, and replace the Fuel Accumulator, which should solve the issue of it not starting up, after shutting off after a hot run.

Filter Off

Around last week, I finally ended up getting the Oil Filter off. Tons of screwdriver stabs later, it finally turned and came loose, and I was able to get it off. Now, to get to the last 2 Alternator Bolts.

Update

Well as of now I am trying to get the Oil Filter off so that I can get the Alternator off, to replace the Bushings and Bracket Mounts.

While the Oil Filter and Alternator are out, I need to get to the Starter, and disconnect the Positive Battery Cable, and replace it, then throw in a new Battery.

I then need to install the new Fuel Accumulator, and install the new Horn Relay, and Horn itself and get it connected.

Picked Up a Snailshell !

With hardly any of these left in the world, I was able to find one for sale, not an hour and a half from my location. Looks very great!

Muffler Re-Welded

Got the Muffler Re-welded. Should hold until I get a hold of parts to keep her on there for a good long time.

New Muffler Parts needed

Looks like it's time for some underbody work. The Muffler recently snapped from a Support bracket on the way to work. Thankfully it snapped right when I got to work, and I noticed it after I had parked.

Later that night I went out in the icy weather and took two bungie cords I had tied around the Spare Tire in the Well, and wrapped them around the Muffler to get me home. Those things burnt up faster than I had expected! Haha.

Upon further inspection I came to notice that not only is the Support Bracket that snapped going to need replaced, but almost all of the Muffler Support Parts are in the same condition, and need I say more, should also be replaced. Looks as though the Muffler should be replaced as well.

Updates soon.
