Sunday just might be the day

[LuvDaBlues]

Zero'd the bell housing or mounting plate?..All predetermined by Quicktime
Did I loan you my dial indicator, can't remember. ...Nope
Do you need it?...Don't think so. Quicktime will not adjust anyway
Confirm hyd throw out bearing spacing, .100"-.200" from diaphram fingers. You probably did this in your mock-up, just checking.....Will verify Saturday
Clutch plate same # splines as tranny input shaft?Yep, all completed during mock up
Did you remember to install the pilot bushing?Oh yeah
Confirm tranny mount holes will align with frame mount when tranny bolted up.We'll find out Sunday
Tranny output yoke same # splines as tranny?...All matched up
Drive shaft length ok?... To be determined
Fuel line location ok? Correct bits to take the fuel up to the carb?...Will verify Saturday, not show stopper for Sunday
Correct radiator hoses?....I'm praying on that one, the existing "Cool-flex" hoses were expensive
FE alternator mount clear of frame? (I had to use a unique ERA mount)....Now that's a good one, but when mocked up, all parts within "engine envelope"
Starter bolts up to block ok? That's a story within itself
Pinion gap to ring gear in spec? Haven't measured, but hand turned the engine and starter and all overlaps and clears well
Cable terminal does not touch anything?Wait until you see that set up, terminals on the BLOCK SIDE
Distributor same type as before, same connection to MSD?....Yep

Then, after the drop .. that magic moment when you confirm that the header flanges and side pipe flanges align....The price I paid for the headers and spacer, I hope the #@$^ so. My side pipes did not get finished. Enduro shelved my project due to Autorama this weekend. So I'll have to align the drive train to chassie later.

Misc needed later: Hyd bleed hose and cup, yep
DOT4 Brake Fluid...Nope, McLeod said only DOT 3
Synchromesh tranny fluid - 3 qts, ....Yep
motor oil,Soon to purchace
filter...Oil filter?, soon to purchace
new fuel filter Good idea
air filter New one came with the engine

Everyone needs to check this thread on Sunday to verify I completed everything on Saturday.
