What part of MD are you in? Do you go to many car shows?

Then, I got stupid all of a sudden. I can't remember if there were shims under the throwout. Luckily, I found a cryptic azz note to myself.
Smack it, I'm near Frederick, but not a big car show guy. There's a handful I hit for various reasons. We might not get any this year I've seen a few cancel already.

Right on, I'm not a cars how guy either. I prefer pulling tires up at buds creek

Ummmm, math?

I decided to switch gears for a minute because installing the trans is going to take coffee in the morning/Pantera on the jams, Zen like energy and focus, perfect for a Saturday. So, I decided to focus on the taillight rewire. I converted to LED a few years ago

and while they worked, they worked well, just not reliably. I ordered a 10pk of the finest Ding How Metripak knockoffs as a cure (the yellow ones). I originally had busted off 1157 bulbs as adapters; that's what we're "fixing".

This is what we're getting rid of

I soldered new wires on and gutted the pressed in socket with a small hammer and drift, then put the connector on. Almost done with this one; only 3 more to go!

Gratuitous stereo shot: MB Quart 2 ways, and a Kicker free air sub in 6x9, Eclipse 4x35 and 1x150 amps. MB Quart 6.5 components up front....

Bottom driver side wasn't working. Back in bidness, now!

Cool story bro. Seriously. Not everyday that sort of lineage continues.

Nice work on all that wiring, looks nice and tidy now.
