So, now that Zout has passed the baton, are you going to continue the thread providing information on the wiring of that puppy. I could sure use the pointers on my WC. The standard has been set extremely high but I know you, Troy and Tony will do a great job. Just a hint, don't use Xmas tree...
Noticed a slight oil leak at the front end after the engine test. Cannot tell whether it is the timing seal, timing gasket or front oil pan seal. Will take off the front cowl and motor mount and run it for a short period to see if I can locate it. I have a new timing cover gaskets kit on the...
It just keeps getting better and better with each post. If you were younger, you could do this for a living? :-D Those data plates really pop out of the dash and the insignia is awesome. I think PB will probably keep it. Did David do all the markings?
