Mine should all ready be in the mail and arriving shortly.



Exhaust is back in, Clutch/flywheel are out and back in (i forgot the dust shield the first time I installed it), tranny and TC are back in with everything connected and engine TURNS OVER

Now I just need to hook up the fuel and cooling system

oops. Had it running but screwed something up and now it just cranks.

92 hours till departure - 28 hours of work - 0 to 24 hours sleep = 40 hours to finish this

got it running again. I cut the blue wire when I should have just spliced

got it to be able to turn off by removing old wires that had melted together.... I don't know how my jeep used to run, at least half the wires in the old harness were melted

I should be good. I was too tired to go to the junkyard this morning so I am going at lunch time today.

I would like to drive my jeep to work tomorrow to make sure it works.

here is the plan
Wrap the exhaust so it can't melt crap
Hopefully I can replace just the line... I dunno. it came as a MC/Slave/Line when I bought it
The fittings are whats leaking so long term I need proper fittings but for now I will use rtv or something
