So today the Squid's brother came over and they got all the AC hoses connected.

 

Well we woke up sat morning to a blown AC in our house and had to deal with that. My neighbor is a great handyman and came to the rescue for us and got it fixed. Also one of the squids friends came over to build his turbo and kindof kept the squids attention.....lol but we did get some work done in the engine.



We got more wires routed. Connected the wiper motor, distributor, & oil pressure sensor.

Also my water pressure sensor arrived. Got that in & wired as well as bolting down & wiring the carburetor


We also attached some brackets for some of the hoses.

 

What are you doing with the water pressure sensor? I've seen water pressure taken on jet boats before, but not on a car. Just curious.

And, the "brackets for hoses", what hoses? I see you have one by the distributor hold down, and one in the front of the same side.

Will the brackets affect the hold down torque on the intake manifold?

Great job, by the way.

 

Its a water temp sensor. I stand corrected. The brackets I showed in the pic are for electrical wiring.

 

So we got some more work done yesterday to the motor. 1st pic is of those 2 brackets now with the wire in place.

We had to buy a new back plate for the AC compressor cause some of the threads where the hose attaches got broken off.

new plate.

Here is a before and after with new plate.

and now in place.

Got a switch for the fan.


And finally connected the new hoses to the power steering pump and put it in place.

 

and now there's a couple of belts sitting there.....but they didn't have the PS belt in stock so I will have to check another store or drive further.

 

Here's a pic of all the belts. He even went back and got me th PS belt.

And here's the bracket that he made for all of the hoses. What do you think? At first I didn't like it but now that it's all done and painted black, I like it.

 

sweet,,,worst part of this is ill never see it with my own eyes.

 

Nice work, keep them coming...

 

Really looking Great O. Im so happy to see it finally getting done. You guys have done a great job with everything.
