A New Master Cylinder Bracket and we are good to go.

I called ECI 1st thing Monday morning and we have the master cylinder issue solved I hope. I apparently described the location wrong so they sent me the wrong one. I shipped the wrong one back and the correct one should be getting shipped any day. Hopefully will have it soon! Also xxxwelderxxx made me a deal I couldn't refuse on this:A damn near NOS Mallory Dual Point Distributor. Should be pretty cool! I cant wait to get it in and working!

Another good day!


Well we dove in bright and early this morning. Here is what we got done:
  • All the old fuel line out

  • All new fuel line & filters ran, secured and plumbed

  • Gas tank cleaned and re-installed

  • Had to re-plumb the metering block in the front, had it wrong from last time

  • Wheels back on

  • Got the intake an exhaust manifold off

Now for the bad part:

  • New master cylinder bracket would not fit. I either asked for the wrong one or was shipped the wrong one, but it does not and cannot work. I will be on the phone 1st thing Monday to get the correct one. So we still need to the the master cylinder on, and plumbed and brakes bled.

We are getting closer!
