Everything is going well.

Changed oil and cooling system flushed

Cleared rodent nest from air cleaner housing and tail light panel area

Added 5 gals of fresh fuel and drained tank

*no particles found in drained fuel but did find a couple booger sized flakes in the old fuel filter

No driver side brake light

Found a portion of the Cali emission rusted clean through. The belt for the pump removed at sometime previous and conveniently stored in the rear area, so I sealed off the carb balancing tube leaving only the brake assist line intact

* I would like to refresh the carbs before adding more fresh fuel and firing it up.

Should I go as far (or as little) as to clean the carbs while they are in the car before firing or let sleeping dogs lie ?

I wished my enthusiasm and excitement could come through in my posts, I am thrilled to have taken on this project as the car is so very clean and the rewards of a dependable and finely engineered car are but a few hours of work away.

The under hood utility light needed only a bulb to make me smile everytime i flick that little switch. That light should have a voice emote that says *Congratulations ! You're a winner !

Anyone else in the mass new hampshire area?

Happy hump day tomorrow !
