Parts are continuing to roll in. The dash harness is installed and the circuits of concern have tested out. They never fit quite as well as what was original, but that is just the way it is.


I removed the bad / incorrect water pump. Then proceeded to clean the fan shroud and other areas that would be much less accessible. The car has it's original lower radiator hose and clamps. Looks like I'll be able to preserve them and reuse. Fingers crossed.


While waiting, I cleaned up the ignition shielding and installed a D308 non "R" distributor cap that I had in stock




I found a perfectly dated water pump. I sparingly painted the unit. Once everything else is installed and I get a couple of heat cycles on it, I'll see how it looks. I may wipe it down with some thinner just to kill the color and gloss some some.



Lastly, the speedo and tach came in. I was able to get the cluster reassembled with the exception of the gauges on the left. The fuel gauge was kind of wonky in bench testing. I have found one and that is on the way in.
