thanks for the thoughts on the filter. I have no idea about the restriction, but you can take a look this Saturday. I am busy busy cleaning the car up and trying to make her show ready. fixing things, polishing, etc.


as to the wiring....the fuel pump on this car was also wired to 12v constant. fuel pump is dead but was still getting power. I disconnected it. I will find a replacement and run it on a switch and relays for the future.

hand transfer pump....I wised up and got one at Autozone when I got the last two jugs of oil I needed. amazing little tool!

I'm still getting chatter in second gear even with the oil change. and I can't put it in gear unless it is just about stopped or it grinds even with the clutch in. syncros must be bad. it makes it hard to drive it in a way.

front brakes pull to the right. gotta look at the front left and see what is going on.

here are some pictures of this weekends work. I took to chrome polishing. it needed it bad. the hupcaps I believe are remakes, too nice on the inside not to be. kanter probably.

I also repainted the emblems, not perfect, but its what I had to work with. the 120 badge on the trunk wasn't there when my Grandfather owned the car. someone put that on. side mount mirrors were not either. it had the clip on door style.

I put a cheap chrome exhaust tip on it that points down so it isn't blasting the paint and bumper with exhaust crude. its not correct, but it helps and it was 8 bucks.

also wanted show my wiring fix....crimped and shrink wrapped the way it should have, at the very least, been to begin with. later will be the new harness.

and good news. the blow by is pretty much gone thanks to the lucas oil and the leak has slowed significantly. no more smoke on startup
