Over the weekend, I picked up a new bit of 2 1/4″ ID flex pipe for the exhaust (I crushed the one that was already there when the motor slipped down), some Pennzoil Syncromesh transmission fluid, and got to work. The new plugs are in, I swapped the coil, and the new plug wires are in as well. Exhaust is connected solidly. I removed the old injectors and they were pretty nasty-looking. I’m thinking that they could be a bit clogged up and I’m thinking about finding something to soak them in so I have good spares. The new injects looked almost brand-new, and I put them in so that everything seems well-sealed. I got the BOV connected to a vacuum line, borrowing a bit of washer fluid line from Stinky. The PDC is also secured, although I only used zip-ties for now. I’d like to build a bracket in the future, but that can wait until things are running smoothly.
The best part is that the front end of the car is ready for wheels and can then be put back down on the ground.
