gaskets and seals, along with a deep pan and filter, new range switch ordered.  141$ in parts.

Plan to swap pump and converter from spare core sitting on shop floor and run it.

back in business.  full tear around shop all is well.  snowing now :(

swapped out broken power steering cooler.  also found a finger size rock that had one of my trans cooler fans locked solid, fixed. 



race ready minus some fluids checks, and waiting for shocks. 

Material for front link saddle mounts came in.  shouldn't be more than a night of fab to get new shocks on when they show up.

solid run on this unit.


prerunning i hit something the hardest i ever have that threw the front diff 3' in the air at 30mph.  worse than the stump hit that failed the 3 link.  kept on it, found another dented diff cover when returned to pit. 


no race issues, treated the car like a stole it entire course, almost ran out of talent on the back straight near 81 but stayed in it and powered out of loosing the rear end down the ravine.  Trans performed as it should with new pump install.  power of car more than adequate.  looked up and saw 67 in the woods straight the instant before letting up far beyond point of fear. 


3 link feels loose, would like better brakes and front shock package is still a mess at low speed chop. seems to be best at 40mph over 6-10" chop but that takes commitment.

carrier bearing failure, loop support contained rear shaft and any other damage- did its job.  probably could have continued but it sounded like rear gear set. 

front right flat- looks like driving on it carefully at a slower pace saved the wheel.

rebuild rear shaft tonight and installed.



discovered the grease fitting is not to grease the alignment, but there is a grove and hole in the actual bearing that pumps grease into the internals of the pillow bearing.....

fail on my part.   


cant believe all of our cars have lasted so long with out a few shots of lube there ever.
