Also install the bottom rad hose. And lastly the throttle cable. Gotta look for a shorter V-belt and install an overflow hose.
That will complete the engine bay stuff.

My new fan shroud came in from Brewers. Cleaned it up. I had to modify the brackets that the shroud is mounted to slightly to make it fit without hitting. Installed and good to go. May 4th (4).jpg May 4th (5).jpg Next, install the top rad hose. May 4th (6).jpg May 4th (7).jpg And then the alternator...

Well, some time has gone by and I'm disappointed because the master is still seeping.... :mad: Oh well, moving on (I will get back to it) I had a buddy of mine come by and give me a hand to get the 4 speed shifter rods aligned and set-up correctly. He has the tool that goes into the side of the shif...

So I did some investigating and it turns out that the shroud I have may be for a truck application. The part number on the shroud is 2828288. April 6th (7).jpg So I ordered the correct one thru Brewers performance. I've bought enough 4 speed stuff from them and had no issues. In the meantime, I inst...

Go to install it. Shroud first. April 2nd (3).jpg Then the rad. April 2nd (4).jpg Go to mount the shroud and oh oh, Houston we have a problem..... :mad: April 2nd (5).jpg April 2nd (6).jpg April 2nd (9).jpg The o.d. of the fan touches the shroud. I can't get the shroud mounted. Are there more than o...

While waiting for my flex lines to come in I cleaned up the rad and fan shroud. The part number tells me this 22" rad came in 1972 340 cars.
Gave it and the shroud a spray paint.

So today I try bleeding the brakes again. Start at the passenger side rear & I notice it leaking from the tee that sits on the diff housing. It's leaking from the fitting on the stainless braided flex line I got from Inline tube. Mar 24th (1).jpg So I'm now removing it - it's junk. I'm ordering the ...

Here's the finished driveshaft. Finally get the driveshaft installed.

So before I go and bleed the brake system once again I decided to change gears and install the universal joints on the driveshaft. Here is the Moog part number for their heavy duty one with the grease fitting in the cap. Mar 23rd (7).jpg Mar 23rd (8).jpg Clean up the bores before install. Mar 23rd (...

As I finished up the line-loc install - stupid me noticed that I had plumbed the master cylinder backwards.... :mad: So I had to make new lines and install them the proper way. Like so. Mar 17th (1).jpg Mar 17th (2).jpg Mar 17th (3).jpg Sure it would have been easier if the thread sizes in the maste...

So today is switching out the new line-loc.
Take the fittings off and the old one off the car.
Reverse order for the new one.
So far so good. I topped up the master and called it a day.
I'll keep an eye out till next weekend to check for any leaks.

So now that the interior is complete - er.. | do have one more thing to install and that is the shoulder belts, but that can wait till summer. Time to get the brakes bled. Since everything is new (master cylinder and new stainless brake lines) I have to bleed the master first. So. make up some lines...

Yesterday, I was able to get the passenger side seat installed. And earlier today finish it off with the driver side seat.

Next - get the front seats down from the attic. I acquired these seats from a guy who owns a 1971 green Satellite Sebring Plus. He said that his brother pulled them out of a car that was in a scrapyard in 1972! :shock: They don't look bad for 53 year old seats. Feb 4th (9).jpg I took all the side co...

They turned out not too bad.
