I hope to have her up and running this week... She's got all her fluids topped up and I've just got a few small jobs to do.

Here's how she sits right now:


I've got a small question... Does anyone have any cosmetically pleasing solutions to plugging up these two vacuum lines in the intake manifold?


Thanks!
Doug

 

clean

 

autozone/most car parts stores sell little rubber nipple plug/cover thingies.

 

Spotless!

check there, engine bay looks really clean tho

 

Canadian Tire has them in the section where you can buy those DIY automotive tools It's in a red/white package they come in a pack of 10-12 with various sizes.

 

Just an update...

The engine is now ready to fire up . I just have to wait for a few extra pair of eyes to come over before I tight the torch.

Here is how she sits right now (spark plugs will go in once I crank her over a few times):


and a shot of the bracket I fabbed up for the breather:


NAPA had the vacume seals I was looking for. Thanks everyone for helping me out!


I'll keep you guys posted

 

looks clean, but are you not using the drain back port on the Endyn catch tank? If not, never mind..but if you are the tank looks way too low. Mine almost touches the hood and the drain hose still just barely has a downward slope. Just curious

 

When are the dyno sheets coming?

 

Is that engine new? Its looks fresh.

I tried raising the can as much as possible while keeping the lines below the intake arm. The drain back line still apears to be level. :fingers crossed:

the drain hose should have a downward slope and no valleys so that you don't overfill the tank..

Well..you'll find out soon enough whether the slope is good enough...

 

did you start the car yet?
