Lucy Hits The Road

With the exhaust system on and the motor running and idling she hit the road. It is far from being done but she is on the road. I need to log some miles to break it in and then go for a good computer tuning. I'm still going to be busy with dozens of little details to make it better but the big moment of driving it has come. whooppee!!!!!!!!1

Mufflers going on

Well the car is at the muffler shop getting the corvette exhaust system put on. Can't wait to drive it around and break in the motor.

My Hero (Kaye)

Well after putting in the power steering pump and getting the fluid topped off it would jerk around the steering wheel badly. I thought maybe low fluid or air in the system but it didn't help. I was frustrated to say the least. Telling my wife about it she said maybe somethings connected wrong or something. Well I went to my computer and researched my photos from the original teardown and guess what? I had a line switched and that made my wife the hero of the day for me. JUST DON'T TELL ANYBODY!

Power Steering repair

Well after the trans came back and I got the good news that it was in A1 condition inside, I installed it again.... Now to tackle the Power Steering hose problem. The AN fittings I was using are not strong enough to take the pressure of the steering pump(3000 lbs) so I went to have one made for it today and was surprised to find the guy goes to my church. He made it in 15 minutes and I was back at the house to put the rack and pump back on. The rack took awhile as I had to do the alignment at the same time to get the steering wheel straight. So the pump sill go on tomorrow.
