The new engine is in and running, hurray! It fired right up on the first try. I did use a vacuum pump to prime the injector pump. I also polished and UV coated the headlights as they were absolutely horribly yellowed.
I do have a few lingering issues to take care of on the car yet. I have had new front struts and mounts sitting around for over a year for this thing that need to go on it. I broke a wire going to the reverse light switch. Anyone know where I can get a pigtail for it? Its a 2 wire D shaped connector. I also somehow misplaced the metal clips for the coolant lines that go to the heater core on the firewall.
Other than that, I am going to do a quick rust repair job on the rear driver's side wheel well. After that, it'll be out of the garage and back on the road.
