Thrashed on the car yesterday and today. Going out to Hux Dyno this Saturday with group of guys from work so I should have some pics and videos coming after that.

Fluidyne was leaking so I replaced it with a Northern from Summit. Unfortunately they don't carry a manual-only anymore so I had to shell out the extra bucks for one with an AT cooler. Might come in handy for P/S if I ever need it.

While I had the coolant drained I also pulled the lower intake and replaced the lifters since I had a noisy one. Also checked pushrod length and found with an adjustable checker that I needed to go from the 6.25"s to 6.5" to get the smallest pattern. I'll be ordering pushrods tomorrow and hopefully button it up Tuesday.

I also made up a switch panel to go in the ashtray area. The heater switch is wired to the red LED so that when the heater is on the LED is lit. When the heater cycles off, the LED will go out. It's a cheap way of knowing the bottle is up to pressure.
