Got into the car a little bit last night. First I installed the Gendron Front sway bar. Then i finally swapped in all the fuel lines, and raceway. Previous fuel lines were removed and replace with larger AN lines, which were then removed sometime before i got this car. So now it's back to OEM fuel lines. I ended up keeping and capping the EVAP line on both ends because i'm going to run an izze engineering EVAP simulator and ditch all of those associated parts. The nice weather has me enjoying being outside in the garage with the doors open and the LED lights sure do help as well.
I am hoping to get powder coated parts back this week and then i can start on the engine, the front timing cover is holding me up right now. I also ordered the tool so i can do retainers.

I did the IZZE EVAP Simulator as well. Did a shakedown drive of my car on Sunday and the sim worked as describe, no CEL.

That kid makes a good product. I've had at least half a dozen air pump simulators and they've all worked great. I think i was one of the first to get my hands on one when they first came out.
Those gold mounts will not last any aggressive driving. The mounts linked look much stronger. I went with the Gendron ball bearing mounts and have been pleased.

This may not look like much but i assure you it is. The majority of these holes shown did not exist. The engine bay had been previously shaven. Finding, drilling and tapping these holes was a chore, i took my time and was very precise, using a flashlight to look though the holes in the outer fender and find them all. Most had been welded shut while i got lucky with a few that were only seam sealed. I was patting myself on the back for purchasing a MAC drill bit set a few weeks ago, it paid off last night.

Tapping holes is one of my least favorite things to do, let alone this many. Well done!
