Ken G's Journal

With the car running I feel like I can start to work on the clean up items on the list, it is a long list.
This weekend my major goal was to stop the oil leak at the return line and get some semblance of brakes. This is what I ended up working on:
Saturday I added a throttle spring and was able to get the car running with that in place. Minor adjustments and it seems good for now.
I removed and reinstalled the return oil pipe with the hope to stop the gusher of oil draining out the back of the pipe. I was mostly successfully it is still dripping but not enough to make me concerned at this point.

My driver side headlight was on, but quite dim so I worked through the ground points and move a few things around and now I have bright lights at all four corner, hazards, turn and brights..
The front driver side brake line was constantly leaking so I replaced that, bled the lines and it seemed good. I then went to bled the line on the passenger side and nothing came out. The hard line was either rusted or contaminated so I replaced that line also. After bleeding both lines again they are working well.
I'm out of time for bleeding the rears so I will safe that for another day.

While I did get the brake lines installed and they are working I am soo unhappy with the way they look I've already decided I'm going to redo them this winter. They remind me of the time my daughter drew line pictures on the wall with a sharpie.

That's it for now
