Shipping today!

Engine ships today, $197 for freight from VA to San Antonio, including insurance. Megasquirt also ships today, from someplace in Mississippi.

parts are here!

I got the parts from MIE yesterday, sadly the clutch slave was defective. It wouldn't bleed. I shot off an email to MIE and they responded with excellent customer service. A new one is on the way.

I did manage to get the clutch working by removing the piston and seals from the one that the PO purchased (in October) and replacing it with the piston/seals from the one I purchased from MIE. So now I'll have a spare. Hopefully the seals didn't get damaged when I inserted them.

I then plugged up some vacuum leaks and the car started much better. But the lights/accessories didn't work. The PO told me they were intermittent. This is the first time they did not function. I jiggled the fuse box to no avail. I then poked around some wires coming through the firewall and the lights came on.

I went for a drive & the lights came on.

More tomorrow.
