No updates lately. I have all next week off, with no place to go. I'm hoping to squeeze in some coupe time between family time. I will be acquiring some parts next week. Next steps will be to rinse the tank, clean the fuel lines, and pickup a battery. I'm not quite sure why, but it extremely difficult to roll this thing in my driveway. It feels like I'm moving a tank. I'm looking forward to just turning the key on and putting it in gear.
My mother-in-law is in town. She confirmed that I my father-in-law can use a Seattle shop (same organization) to paint the car. The cost is a plane ticket.
I figure a SeaHawks game and some cash will be helpful also.
I snapped some pics of the engine. If you look closely, you will see that the fuel line is disconnected. This is where I ran the outboard gas tank to avoid using old fuel.
Again, the VIN is 2204650. It looks like my head is from an '81. It is my understanding that this is a 'late' head, as of 1980. I suppose the old head cracked at some point. I haven't figured out where the block numbers are. I found a set on the passenger side front of the block. Please chime in so I know where to look.
