I might stop in after work - what time are you going to be starting or ending? , no dice on the tranny yet - I did tell him not to rush it though - as long as i have it for the CCC on Saturday :D

Got the opti and the water pump all off. 90% cleaned up on the engine. Retrofitted the opti w/ a vacuum vent set up that the 95s and 96s have. Wires are off, plugs on the left are out (they looked worn but good no bad signs). I should wrap it up tomorrow. :D :cheers:
