Figured I'd update this before I forgot anything

My dad and I worked until a nasty looking storm system moved in. Turns out it was all fart and no fury, but of course had we kept working it the heavens would have opened up on us for sure. Here's the list of accomplishments...

Sway bar mounted
Brakes put on and steering linkage hooked up
Booster bracket mounted
Booster test fitted (it fits...sorta...more below)
Pedal linkage installed

Still need to do the following...

Adjust passenger outer tie rod (has verticle play, may have to return it for a new one)
Get my grease gun nozzle off of a zerk fitting (it's stuck on there)
Bench bleed master
Mount master & prop valve
Run hard lines
Hook up hoses
Bleed system
Test system and adjust brake linkage



For the brake linkage I ended up using a turnbuckle from Tractor Supply Company. 5/16" I believe it is. It fits in there perfectly when it's totally bottomed out which should leave plenty of room for adjustments. Best part is...it was cheap, and if my booster is busted (junkyard special) then it's easy to swap it out for another one.

Now the only downside to the booster is that it interferes with my air cleaner...So I have to somehow find an air cleaner that will work with a 1brl carb and not interfere with my booster. I picked up a rinky dink one from the local auto parts store but I'm not to enamored with it.

The glass guys coming to install another windshield for me got my new one in today....but it had a big crack in it so that's put off for another few days till another comes in.

Also the A arms bushings need to be replaced. The boots are all jacked up and won't hold grease. The upper arm on the driver's side REALLY needs a new bushing as the arm has play in it.
