Just wanted to post some things I'm doing to my new to me 300 'vert, and try to keep a history.
First....smoking a 2.5 pound tri-tip lol...
Will was kind enough to sell me his dual snorkel setup. Thanks again Will!
Oil pressure sender mounted today, had to use a 45* elbow. I know it's still dirty back there! I cleaned some crud off before removing old oil plug. Installed water temp sensor. Gauge panel mounted, did not drill any holes in dash. Next to run wires.
Have dash apart, still researching how to drop it, think I have it figured out from my research here, and in the manual. See pic with blue half dome lights? Are those dash lights? My map light, and these were not hooked up for whatever reason. I have a NOS head light switch coming, that's why I need to drop the dash to install that new switch.
Also located a set of HP manifolds local to me. That's the last on my list to do. Worried about the exhaust studs breaking! yikes!
Changed coolant. Spark plugs changed last week. Old one looked good, light tanish color. New air filter and gas filter arrived today. Convertible boot should be here tomorrow. Also ordered a set of new studs/bolts for the HP manifolds. I know motor isn't the cleanest, but I swear she starts up within seconds, hot or cold. No smoke when starting, secondarys open when they should, motor just purrs, but looks ugly! It's on my list!!!
