65 Barracuda daily driver

I realized how much this thread is also a diary for the car and I can go back and see when I did what. I took no photos today, but got a few things done.

One of the rear shocks had a regular washer against the rubber and not a cup washer. I bought a kit with nuts a while ago, so I put them on both sides today.

While I was down there I checked the gear oil level and it looked fine.

Then I drained the oil and changed the filter for the new Wix 51806. I cut open the old filter and there was luckily no metal in it.

I also took off the passenger side exhaust manifold. I want to get it blasted and then paint it (again), because the paint is already coming off everywhere. At the same time I want to fix the possible exhaust leak. I also want to dremel out the flap. I'm sure that'll gain a me 1/2 horsepower haha. I have another manifold, so I might put that on temporarily. I don't know when I'll have time to go get the one blasted. I have some cheap gaskets laying around for that. Once it's painted I'll use the Remflex.

While the intake is off I also installed an adapter that let's me use the dummy light as well as the new oil pressure gauge.

The intake gasket and the lifter are not gonna get here before Tuesday, so not a lot I can do until then. Oh, except finish cleaning the intake (again).

Happy New Year!
