tsi_tom Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I am getting antsy, but I do have a lot of work yet. Gasoline has eaten the paint off the drivers side engine bay. That needs to be taken care of. Plus I have to change the gas tank. I will polish the valve cover si the engine will look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsi_tom Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Reassembly of the distributor. I replaced the shaft seal since I was already there. I also replaced the vacuum advance with one from RockAuto. When I took apart the advance I put it together wrong which caused the vacuum advance not to line up. Took a little bit to figure out. Good I took pictures. This time I bought the parts from mitsparts.com. They are in NJ and are closer to me. http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u467/tsi_tom/The%20Missouri%20Project/Distributor%20rebuild/reassembleddistributor_zps68675f36.jpg Timing line up.

I stripped one of the butterfly screws. The drill just broke the metal. It didn't skip either. Just started to spin.

tsi_tom Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I tried to remove the steering box to paint the frame rail that has been eaten away by gasoline, but I don't have the MB991113 steering link removal tool. So I moved onto replacing the gas tank. There was a lot of mud under the back of the car where the gas tank is. I got a lot of dirt in my eyes, however removal wasn't too bad.

The gas tank that was shipped to me is bent on the fuel neck side. I needed to get a body hammer and try to straighten it. Also I took out the steering box to paint under it. That was a real pain in the *** to get out. Edited October 14, 2013 by tsi_tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsi_tom Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I am hoping to have the engine installed and running by December. There is a lot of little things that need to be addressed before turning the key. I wasn't planning on rebuilding the steering box, but since it is out of the car now might as well. I also need to get an engine hoist since my neighbor sold his . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsi_tom Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 The tank I bought was damaged in shipping. The side that the filler neck connects to was bent. Being bent under the fuel opening made the repair a little challenging. http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u467/tsi_tom/The%20Missouri%20Project/Gas%20Tank/filltubeopening_zps9737e9b2.jpg I purchased these auto body tools at a flea market. I never did sheet metal repair before. http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u467/tsi_tom/The%20Missouri%20Project/Gas%20Tank/autobodytools_zps663c68f6.jpg I flattened the bend and tried to get the bracket as straight as I could. I don't know how to get the bend in the bracket correct. I used an adjustable wrench and bent the bracket into position. I had to have the lip of the tank a little lower so that the filler neck would align correctly. Painted the top of the tank that took the abuse of the hammer. http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u467/tsi_tom/The%20Missouri%20Project/Gas%20Tank/repairedgastank1_zpsfee492c7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
