Thanks to my brudder Don,helping me put the heavy bench seat in and lighting a fire under my arse!
I spent the day ripping apart the engine bay!!
I will be making changes under the hoodd and for ease of working the rad core support is out for now. removed the lo po logs and single exhaust in favour of HP manifolds and TTi duals.

 

[cbarge]

Also

pulled the cast iron 4bbll intake and mocked up the carb,intake and air cleaner.
Yeah a wee bit tight with millimeters to spare!!

 

[live4theking]

Way to go. That's a great color.

 

[GJS]

Beautiful work, not sure how I have missed this thread thus far.

I believe You camped a few sites over from me a few years ago on the Moparfest weekend.

Yes,Nick. I drove my 73 Satellite wagon and camped at |Nith River for Moparfest

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

Yep, I camp there every year, well except this year. I just went for the day.

 

[Fratzog]

Nice work Leaburn. It must be satisfying to finally get it this far.

That is looking great. Are we taking bets on whether you get to drive it before the first snow fall?

You will lose,Hahaha!
Will be running by end of the month,and on the road for October.
I am moving out of my house November 1st--so no choice.
I am really using my spare time very wisely.

 

[cbarge]

Work smarter--not harder
I installed new spark plugs before putting on the HP manifolds.
We all know how much a pain #7 can be..

 

[cbarge]

Took the time to wipe down any body shop dirt from the firewall while no manifolds on the engine.

Where are you moving?

Scored these HP manifold gaskets that incorporate heat shield that protects the valve cover gaskets from getting cooked and not bake the engine paint.
Also using the orange silicone rubber valve cover gaskets.
Thanks to MR Richard E-Booger hisself,LOL!

 

[cbarge]

Manifolds are on and note how the gaskets shield t he valve covers..

 

[cbarge]

Where are you moving?

To my Mum's few blocks away. Staying in same town..

Oh. I thought you might be moving south. . . Like maybe to Maryland. . . or Florida. . .

 

[D Cluley]

Oh, I wasn't going to bet against you...Just wondering how close it was going to be

 

[cbarge]

Installed the Summit mini-starter and test fit the TTi frt pipes and all is good.
Connected the repop C body battery cable to the starter but the terminals are a tight fit against the block.
I should have connected the cable first before installing the starter.

Summore NOS going on under the hood...
