More PIC\'s of the Resto
Since I last updated the PIC's I've done the following:
1) Dropped the Engine in the frame
2) Rebuilt the HT350 myself (that took a while)
There's a lot of detail in the album for those who ever thought about trying.
3) Assembled the rest of the drivetrain
4) Rebuilt carb with adjust-a-jet mod
5) Wired the engine stuff so it's modular with external kill switch and starter (I want to run it to make sure everythings OK before I set the body on).
6) Hooked up vacuum lines/PVC
7) Hooked up fuel lines with braided line from pump and external filter (and repaired the original tank without dying)
Here's the order of stuff to do before I can fire it up:
1) Mandrell bent exhaust with X-pipe from Dr.Gas is "in the mail" (there is a mock-up in the album).
2) Fit the exhaust and figure out muffler configuarion.
3) Need to order the autometer gauges so I can check vital signs on first fire-up.
4) Build a temperary fixture to hold the rad in place
5) Buy the various fluids and top everything up (right now everything is dry)
6) Prime the oil pump
7) Check the compression and set static timing
8) Do a final check of adjustments and inspect bolts for tightness
It's been a little over a year since the valve froze (and hit the piston) which started this whole process...
