It was there for two days when I saw her and apparently I was the 3rd person that day to get parts from it. And I got there at like 10AM
Today, I waited for parts. Maybe when I get home I'll swap the clutch hydraulics from the coupe to the vert and bleed them. And start fabricating manual trans to automatic chassis brackets.

I like where that is heading, sub 10s? what do you think

Last night I plumbed my fuel lines, installed exhaust and then did the rest of the coolant system. The. I cranked that bitch over like there's no tomorrow. Finally started after the neighbor was turning the cas. It ran for a bit and died. Couldn't start it again. Garage was filled w smoke. Today I'll figure it all out and get her going good.

I managed to make my motive power bleeder work for my FC.
Got an old cap from a junkyard, drill a 1/4" hole in cap and put an old bleeder nipple in it. Then a nut on the back of that. I cut the old fitting off the hose and put it on the bleeder nipple with a smaller hose under that and clamped it on. There's a hole in the cap so I mixed epoxy on a nail and drove the nail in the hole. Put the cap on and have at it.
After I made that it took me 15-20 mins to bleed my brakes and clutch after being completely dry. And it took that long cause I had to take a wheel off and tighten my clutch lines again.
Tomorrow I will throw some clamps on the tmic and get it timed. Then try to fix oil leaks.

Gave it a bath, changed the oil, and properly wired up my radio so it works!
Changing the oil prompted the old oil pressure condenser wire to find ground. Found it, yanked it out. No more pegging gauge.
