Shes Almost On The Road Again!!

Ok, after tons of work and effort, all I have left to do with my car is install the new radiator hoses, wire the electric fan, figure out whats up with the way the tranny mounts, finish installing the exhaust from the header/presilencer back, change the diff oil, and pour in the tranny oil. Hopefully she will start up and run well . One thing that kinda has me worried is the fact that my Dad used rubbing alchohol to clean the flywheel with before we put the clutch on, and I was thinking that it wasnt such a good idea...Any thoughts on this? Its a little late now, its all together, but at least I should be able to expect problems...

Oh, and I need wheels and tires too . More or less just tires, but new wheels sure would be nice too .

As long as it was the Isopropyl version of rubbing alcohol with a high percentage of purity. The rubbing alcohol would evaporate with little trace of impurities then before you were able to put it together so there should not be any problems.

Im sure it was Isopropyl, so thats good news then. The label reads exactly this "Isopropyl rubbing alchohol, 99% isopropyl alchohol by volume" So youre saying that it should be fine eh? Well thats good news . Thanks. Anyone else care to comment?
