Thank you, Matt.

Thanks again buddy. I'll have to get the cooling system working I guess before I get to that. I'm sure it worked before so there is no reason it wouldn't. Just wanted to check, since I did swap front covers.

Should be able to check the oil nozzles easily enough now, just take em out and blow in em.

Should get that on video, oh baby.

The engine is all together, believe the oil nozzles are under the intake manifold, correct?

Lol hey Mervin,

You know that area under the gauge cluster, under the cruise control switch and stuff, notice how a piece of plastic is missing? I just found it lol.

Or maybe its under the headlight switch/turn signal, either way lol.

Did you put in a different gauge cluster? Afaik it had the original when I bought it and I never swapped it out. I only partially dis-assembled it to get to the wiper switch and swap that (to no avail_.

I was here in Fremont when I got the first FC but after a year moved back to Chico, where I was for 3 years and now I'm back in Fremont most likely for good or until my gf goes nuts from work and retires/quits lol.

Actually meant to say the surround lol. I meant to just replace the wiper switch but ended up just getting an entire surround as well. The wiper didn't work so I ended up just rebuilding one and have the other ready for new components to be soldered in.

So I think I've got the cooling system all ready to go. So now I can warm up the car and burn off some of that shitty gas in there. I put some fresh gas in and pumped like a gallon of the bad stuff out. Gonna add some more fresh gas when the time comes.

Unfortunately I have no wheels in which to put the car outside on while I run it. Well I do, but the tires are shot. And my other two sets of wheels are over at my parents house. Too much to do and too little time. sigh....

Oh no they're little things that go in the switch itself.
