The car has been successfully transported from Pittsburgh back to my folks place in Lancaster. While it is sitting there over the winter I hope to try and finish up the last tid bits: a/c, alignment, headliner, last mechanical stuff etc.
To start that off I got the rear axle shafts removed and had Ross press on new wheel bearings. I just heard that was done so when they come back I will be able to install new axle seals and yoke seal. When removing the yoke nut, would I have to replace the nut with a new one? I know other rear ends I worked on said the nuts are a one time use item.
In effort to get the a/c done, Howard, what brand of thermostat did you use when you did your a/c conversion? and where did you mount the filter/drier? Do you have any pictures showing the a/c line routing? I have the condenser and compressor in and the filter/drier is the last component before I start figuring out how to route the lines. Howard, did you run any hard lines on the condenser to eliminate having rubber hoses go past the radiator support?
