Well.... here is the latest in my journey. I am going to name the car, but cant decide between black beauty or black bitch. After this weekend, leaning toward the latter.
Yes, the 90 degree needle nose are a great tool, or Christmas gift.
The other great tool recently purchased is the pressure brake bleeder. Wish I had bought them both 50 years ago!
The car had a leaking WP gasket. And oil everywhere. Removed WP, cleaned it up, and saw the rock auto emblem. Replaced it with a Hepu. After an hour of cussing remembered you have to glue the gasket to the pump or spend an hour of cussing ,THEN glue the gasket to the pump. During this fiasco I dropped a nut in the crankshaft pulley area. To make it even better, my wife came out and said " stick a magnet in there and pull it out". Well... Since I have the car on jack stands and I know the routine;
Replace all accessory bushings with yosifab aluminium
New timing belt and roller ( And retrieve the nut )
Replace all front seals
New belts
Check valve clearance
Replace valve cover gasket
Install remote locks
Polish hazed headlights
Remove carpet and seats and get to work with my Tornador Black ( A nice, but expensive tool )
Then, enjoy driving this more rare by the day car for 5 or 10 years
