Dan, that looks great. I like that fuel log too. Which one is it?

Dan - looks good. Can you tell us more about the trico bottle top re: originality? It looks fine to me?
- pity i only just saw the other comments on sidepipe fitting from a few months ago - thanks guys. The trick, I found, was to go jack up the entire car and go in underneath - 2 man-job - 1 above to guide, one below to tighten the bolts - 8 hours of hard graft later, pipes fitted.

Kevin - I have some pictures from Mickmate or 428Street somewhere of the correct Trico top. It may take a while to find them. From memory the fluid outlet is located in a different location on the cap and I think pointing the opposite direction. Otherwise, I don't remember a lot of difference.
Yes - multi-piece headers are a real pain. Glad to be past that stage for now. |

Thanks Lippy - I'm not sure about the fuel log. Keith Craft furnished it with the engine. I'll look at his bill later to see if he listed the supplier. |

Photo build log -
Since I'm currently in a reverse mode on my build of #782 I thought I would go in and clean up my Photobucket site, delete some duplicates, do a little labeling and generally straighten it up. Anyone interested - here is a slide show link.

Slideshow fixed. Runs in proper order now.

Demolition of problematic parts accomplished today. It's not as much fun removing stuff as installing it - especially the exhaust with all the slip fit joints.
The exhaust is going back to the ceramic plater to be re-done. The expansion tank is going to the radiator shop to see if the pinhole leak in the tank seam can be fixed. If not I'll be in the market for a new one this time. I'll re-seal the girling brake fluid can myself.
Maybe I'll be back in forward motion in a month or so.  |
