I used those myself but found they needed a little clearancing to get into the yoke ends. Did you have any issues?

I didn’t have any problems on this particular install. If anything the caps are a hair bit longer than the originals, but didn’t pose an issue 

The ones I had,  had very large shoulders on the yoke that prevented them from going in easily

I didn't have any issues when I replaced mine on my track Z several years ago.  

 

I wonder if there are a number of parts using that number bit vary in construction?

I’d bet so. It’s a fairly arbitrary PN, could have multiple supplier producing it under the same name. 
 

 

She’s alive! Didn’t take much to bring it to life. Slight rattle from the resonator in the background. A part from that sounds healthy, good oil pressure and no leaks. 
 

Few tweaks and she’ll be able to move under her own power and begin the break in process.

Congratulations!

Few updates over the weekend. Buttoned up some loose ends and got to drive the Z for the first time. Pretty cool to have it move under its own power after being dormant for 31 years. Feels very crisp and tight. 
 

Got all but the transmission diamond vinyl installed, and headliner. Ill get some photos of that. I did remember to snap a picture of the jute material for the transmission tunnel. Was able to use the originals as a template to make two new pieces. 

Tires also mounted to the original steelies, I need to get a full vehicle shot with them.

Can I buy your old jute?  🙂

I think it would turn to dust by the time it gets to you. 😆

New jute went down smoothly on the transmission tunnel. I also saved the original diamond vinyl for this area as well, 

and replicated the relief cuts onto the new material. All in all very happy with the final results. Few edges to address and it will be complete.
