Wired the aftermarket fuel pump. I had to adjust the crimp connector to take the wire from the positive connector. I used electrical tape to insulate…. I will probably use a better method later.

Which pump did you use? The factory pumps are still available.

I went with Mr Gasket. I bought it in 2018 when they weren’t available (oem) and installed it. I’ll give it a try. It’s 4.5 psi so it should work with the carbureted engine that’s going in.

You can’t tell by the e-brake picture but the rod is slightly bent…. Made it more of a chore adjusting the handbrake.

My mistake thought you had an injection system.

The title threw me too.

Here's a good thread if you haven't already seen it.

Much appreciated! I’m getting close to dropping the engine. Going to remove all the emissions parts and clean out the engine bay.

Replaced the drivers seat, or at least tried to. 
 

did try to bleed the brakes today. I am getting no break fluid to the rear drums and while pressing the brake pedal I hear a loud “whooshing” sound from the engine bay. 
 

im guessing there is a leak somewhere? If so how would I troubleshoot?

Is the master properly bled? Is an existing master or a reman?

Just did my seats… there is a good video based on a forum member post.

It’s new. I heard from a mechanic I may not have properly bled it first

New seat installed, I plan on parking in the sun to buff out the wrinkles.

 

tried working on the master cylinder again. Now I can’t even bench bleed it in the car.
