That crack of thunder was perfect!
Just about everything is done. Couldn't get tstat to open. Fought that until I bypassed the heater core. Was letting air in causing tstat to stay closed. Not sure why heater core went out. Maybe it was bad last winter and I didn't know. Then push on the clutch pedal and nothing but mush. Look on the floor and big puddle of brake fluid. Slave cylinder pooped the bed. If it wasn't stuck in the garage I probably would've burned it down that day.
Had a hell of a time bleeding the clutch hydraulics. I replaced everything, master, hose and slave. Ended up finding a trick to bleeding these. Fill the master open the bleed screw on the slave to make sure some fluid comes out. Close the bleeder top off the master and cycle the clutch fork by hand about a dozen times making sure the master doesnt go dry. Perfect pedal after that. Goes against everything I have ever done or was taught and I have done a ton of hydraulic stuff. Anyway fighting a knock sensor code and a failed oil pressure sender. Drove it around for about hour and a half last weekend. Sounds good. Louder than the 350 but it has headers and 2.5" exhaust instead of 2.25. sounds good but different. Need to mount the fuse block behind or near the glovebox and install the ductwork, and clean up the firewall wiring.
