left work early today to work on the car.
As I progress more and more towards the first startup, theres more and more little things that pop up. :)

today I
-hooked up the clutch line and bled the system
-changed the gear oil in the tranny
-redid the loop for the power steering lines. I bought new fittings and did it right.
-started hooking up the wiring harness.

up next:
-wire up the MSD ignition
-wire up power to the fuel pump
-install the header
-try and start it up!!

Finished bolting up the tranny tonight (i had lost 2 bolts, but found them) and reinstalled the driveshaft. couple more mechanical items I still need to finish up before I dive into the wiring. (clutch line, exhaust and header)

not long now!

slowly getting there

-hooked up the cooling system (still need to wire up the electric fan)
-hooked up the throttle. I had to buy a GTS cable since the SR5 one was too short to reach the carbs
-installed the external fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator and fuel lines.


next up is more wiring. I had to get a tach adapter to make the stock tach work with the MSD ignition, and I got a temp controlled fan switch.

Boss is away at work, I may take some time off to work on it.
