Valve Cover Gasket

Replaced the Gasket which split after removing the Valve Cover. It looks like the previous owner put some sort of rubber glue in place of the half circle gaskets. New Gaskets are now in though, and oil is staying firm inside, with no more spills.

Fuel Accumulator

Finally got around to switching out the Fuel Accumulator last week. Pretty simple task. Took about 45 minutes at most.

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.
