| I
pumping two weeks of updates together here. Last week
and this week. |
| Installed the new water
pump. In the process I cleaned, ran a die through the
treads and painted the bolts. I painted the water pump
the same color as the exhaust manifold. |

After Power coating the panel that
covers the transmission with the new NIC powder that I
think is a nice match to the color of the Jeep, We
installed it and the shifter boots and the shifter
knobs. |
 |
 |
| Pulled
out the old spark plugs, number one was nice and clean
and the rest were all carbon fouled. Put some new plug
wires on, I will play with them a little to make them
fit better (shorten them up). Removed the MSD stickers
form the coil clamp and coil. |

We spent a little more time in the
shop today. Cleaned up and powder coated the PS brackets
and the throttle cable linkage brackets. Painted up the
bolts and mounted the pump and throttle cable linkage
onto the Jeep |

Started on the Weber carburetor install. The adapter
plates did not match up so took the time to grind them
so that they did. I am currently letting the locktite
set up on the carburetor studs. I did clean up the
excess locktit on the adapter plate. |

| The
surfaces that meet each other between the firewall and
the right front fender were rusted. So..... I took a
wire brush to the surfaces and cleaned them up. Although
this paint was supposed to be a color match to the paint
code, it is not a good match. You would think that it
would be as this is under the hood and out of the sun.I
also prepared the firewall for the "Heater blower motor
upgrade by enlarging the blower motor hole to 3 1/2
inches. Got my wife involved to find the center of the
hole. |
