71 Duster 360 (new project)

Today was blunderville..

Put water in radiator..turned on electric pump...everything ok..

put gas in fuel cell...had to tighten a couple of fitting that were dripping...turn on electric pump...nothing...

i remember i cut the wire to the pump because of the carpet....and i put the passenger seat in..and it is holding down the carpet and I can not get to wires to connect them...seat is gotta come out...

hook up wire...turn on pump...gas leak at the regulator..#8 45 degree fitting from the main line into the regulator has the drips....tighten fitting...still dripping...the dam swivel part is leaking...should have expected that since i was trying to reuse a old fitting...so off comes that fitting...have no #8 45s around...put on #8 90...it works...fuel leak fixed.

ok...going to spin motor over on starter for a few second for pump to pick up oil....no oil pumping up...wait...I never put the oil filter back on after I put engine in car...got plenty of oil on garage floor..ok...again...spin engine..oil pressure...plus all 8 cylinders are pushing compression...

need to make a coil wire to go from Hei cap to Blaster 2 coil...done......

got 904 dipstick tube installed...put 6 qts of type F in trans...

At this point , I would say everything is a go for tomorrow afternoon...to start car...will still have a few thing to do before it hit the track in 10 days....but getting closer by the day.

Making good progress Tony! Priming the engine without the filter on sounds like something I would do LOL

Do you have a deep pan on your 904? I installed a summit deep pan on my 904 and was wondering how much fluid I should pour into it.
