Didn't get a pic, but I have the clutch line run and connected and bled. And it moved under it's own power for the first time with this setup. I was fighting an unstable idle, and after looking around a bit, realised this engine metered it's idle air. So I had to make the iac hose fit after the maf It looks crappy but it works. Perfect, smooth, stable idle.

Finally got the radiator locked down. I'll have to take it all back apart to slap some paint on it I had to temporarily just slap a bunch of zip ties on the vapor line so I know the length on the other end of it

Getting the p.s. Hoses setup, and cooler mounted Snuck the p.s. hose through the cooler mount. Try filling the fluid and see if there's any adverse effects of mounting it this way Soon I get to start putting her face back on

That will eventually eat through that line at the contact point. Sorry Rix, looks great otherwise....that's just the Aircraft inspector in me.

Not actually touching. Bad angle. If you look close on the first pic of that series, I put another insulated clamp through that bracket to hold it anyway.
