Update:
1) Just finished repairing/replacing clutch linkage setup: New Gorilla Spring, Push Rod Bushing (Steel), Pivot ball ends perfect, repacked (greased) Zbar,
2) Rebuilt Windshield Washer Pump and cap, new hose lines, sprayers and switch. (Jay Maxwell).
Update: New supply hose from washer water tank to "T" to sprayers was completely clogged!!!
Cleared with compressed air....Jay Maxwell Repaired Pump now sprays water over the hard top!! Very Frustrating....been trying to figure out why pump was not operational....
CHECK YOUR NEW HOSES BEFORE YOU INSTALL THEM!!!!

Quanta Tank, seals, hoses and possibly the fuel gauge sensor will be replaced this winter......No indications....I think it's time. I will report tank condition.....
Also, New Fan Clutch and fan to replace "Flex Fan was installed this weekend..............

so, from one custom painted car owner to another, don’t accept any devaluing conversation about our period correct two year run of duckback cars. Yep, we love period correct adornment that is analygous to nos parts.
hey I’d like to ask a couple of off topic about our cars. Text 443-518-6234 or micksnip@gmail.com
