Hi Friends,
Just a tiny update today. I've not been in the garage too much
lately. Been babysitting our grandson. Priorities, you see. :-)
First up today is work on the waterpump. In this picture, I have just
removed the pulley.

Here's the pulley, fully cleaned and primered (still wet).

Here's the pulley, now painted red and ready for installation on the
new waterpump. In the background of the picture is a new thermostat,
also freshly painted engine color.

After that work was finished, I decided to remove the distributor for
restoration. Before removal, I took this picture, just for reference.

Here is the breaker plate, as removed.

It has now been cleaned and the new parts are sitting in their boxes
awaiting installation. The rest of the distributor has been cleaned,
measured and lubricated. Here's a look at the distributor, not so
much of a glamour shot but one revealing the numbers. Its ready for
new points, condenser, rotor and reinstallation.

And over on the workbench is the stabilizer link, awaiting cleanup and
refinishing.

And just to show the magnitude of the cleaning needed before the fun,
technical work can begin, here's how things look.

And that picture of the engine, included above, shows the degree of
MESS that results from this kind of work. One might find this trivial
but I work in a home garage, and that means there is big risk of
tracking grease, oil and dirt into the house. That just can't happen
so I must stop work and clean. Such is life.
regards,
