April 11, 20177 yr comment_517772 On April 8, 2017 at 10:20 PM, sweatybetty said: from pakistan with love. ordered these seat covers from interior innovations last sunday. showed up today. my first impression is very good, but i will follow up when i get them installed. it is amazing to me that i can order a part, it gets delivered to my door from halfway around the world, nice quality, but it takes twice as long to get something from somewhere i can drive to in a day. I also ordered some seat covers and they came from Pakistan. I was amazed when they showed up in like 4-5 days. The ad on EBay said they would do different color stitching, the picture in the advertisement had gold. In the comment section I asked if I could get silver. I got no response so my expectations that they would come in w/silver stitching was very low but they did. I'm very happy with them! I also stitched in an inflatable lumbar "bag" that I purchased through MSA, I'm glad I did it!

April 15, 20177 yr Author comment_518112 not much going on, waiting on parts. got the rear glass tinted and installed, along with the stainless trim and rear spoiler. the spoiler was a bit of a challenge. the side that contacts the deck is not flat, so with only 2 mounting bolts, it would rock back and forth. i solved that by applying a few dime sized spots of body seam-sealer and actually glued the spoiler to the hatch. no movement at all now, and any water can flow out under the spoiler and hatch ordered a carpet kit from z specialties, and have a few more items coming from msa, then i should have everything for the interior. also got the speakers and amp from crutchfield yesterday. life is good i also found a distributor cap with brass terminals at napa Edited April 15, 20177 yr by sweatybetty Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52787-sweatys-rebuild/?&page=22#findComment-518112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 16, 20177 yr Author comment_518200 added a little "punch" yesterday. this is just the fitting and testing since i dont have carpet yet. sounds good so far, but i think it will sound even better with the entire interior in Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52787-sweatys-rebuild/?&page=22#findComment-518200 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the right one? i figured out the problem there. when i pulled the distributor apart to grease the centrifugal advance, i installed the part the rotor sits on 180* off. very easy to do Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52787-sweatys-rebuild/?&page=22#findComment-518787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 22, 20177 yr Author comment_518788 new plug wires (3rd set ) i like the routing better than over the valve cover. i made some brackets out of aluminum and used zip ties to hold the wires in place Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52787-sweatys-rebuild/?&page=22#findComment-518788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
