Hmmm. I guess it's no longer a priority?

So after a winter spent leaking a river of fluids on my garage floor, the Hurst it back in action.

I found the trans leak at the lockup electrical connector o-ring. Fixed.

Power steering gear was leaking at the input seal. Pulled it apart for a full reseal job, and its dry as a bone now.

My oil sender had started seeping down the block as well so I put new brass fittings w teflon paste into action. Sealed up.

All that's left is the light switch issue and occasional gagepid foil issues.

Otherwise runs and drives great! Looking forward to a summer w the tops off!

I've found a hypertech chip for the car. Should be a little improvement.

Although we just got snow so the roads are all salted again.....

Hopefully it will rain soon

Actually, I just did. Its gone on its way to the Albany area now. It was sold to someone who appreciated the car. I anticipate it will do very well with its new owner.

Now I am looking for a car to work on...I have a dual quad Buick 430 and a Buick 455 4 barrel on stands in the garage. I want to drop one of those in a car and burn tires.

Went to look at a 85 Monte SS today but it was just rotted to hell. I need a relatively clean, solid roller to BigBlockify. I like the monte SS and Elcamino SS especially. I definitely would consider a Buick Regal of some sort from the 80s.

Yeah, the 307 is a monster. Good luck on your Gbody search Ken. A BBB Monte SS would be awesome.
