Re: MY build thread...

Thanks man! Well the issues or bugs have started showing themselves after my last carshow/cruise! My battery terminal lost connection and died in the street with a bunch of cars behind me! Thanks to a couple guys representing borla helped out and got me going again. Then my power steering started leaking, now I need new valve cover gaskets because the cork ones I had wont stay under the valve cover so it coated my firewall with oil!!! Build bugs are great....

It was a good time since it was pre 1982. I am glad that it moves on its own and I can drive it finally... Thanks

Well blew a power steering hose the other day so since I was out of fluid I decided to rebuil my power steering box. Wow what a pita...

Re: MY build thread...

Well I've been chasing a oil leak on my valve covers. I tried the rubber gaskets and still leaking so I got some thick cork gaskets an glued them to the valve covers. Tomarrow I'm getting some studs so I don't have to fight with erring the bolts in... Going to seal the bolts also... I hate oil leaks on a fresh clean motor! Well it's not clean anymore. I'll try to update some pics tomarrow if I can pry the laptop from my wife

Re: MY build thread...

Me, myself and I are the exterminators. . I might have to recruit some help if I can't get it running better. Since its running and driving I feel like I'm done and don't have to work on it. I wish you well on yours.

Re: MY build thread...

Well went to another show about 35 mile trip and still have an oil leak so just ordered a new Holley street dominator intake and going to try that. I'm also going to remove my valve covers and install the baffles and re-seal them again! I have one more show to go to in Ottawa this year then motor and trams coming out to have gaskets put in them and painted... This is going to be a long few weeks...
