Re: Previous owner '68

You have gotten a lot done since I last checked in. It's looking really good!

Re: Previous owner '68

Today I worked on some science projects, not really ready to share these until I know if they are going to work or not.

I also went ahead and bended (bent?) up a power steering return line using my old Papco flaring tool. It came out fair so I'm happy with it. I have the pressure side on order.

Re: Previous owner '68

I wanted to secure the spark plug wires a bit better, I hate when plug wires are just laying around like a teenager. I started with some 3/8" Nicop (I have a buch of bending mis-steps I hang on to just for things like this). Hammered the crap out of it until it was flat and shaped them to fit.

I had some of the plastidip in black I bought at the Walmart for fixing some things on my Firebird. Used it to coat the brackets.

Re: Previous owner '68

Bracket on driverside, I used black heatshrink on this one instead of plastidip (I was in a hurry for some reason).

And yes, I used zipties to hold the wires together. Mostly because I am cheep!
