It lives once again!
Got it running and driving yesterday before heading back to CS. Front wheel burnouts are fun.
Swapped out the plugs and increased the gap for a tad longer spark. Fired right up and run's great. Made a couple of adjustments to the stak shift linkage which was getting hung up and added a few more quarts of b&m trick shift atf. After bench bleeding the master cylinders, new rear brake lines/fittings, rear disk conversion, extending the m.c. plungers, new pedal/m.c. mount, etc... I was still having issues. With a deadline to make TCC and still having school priorities I loaded it up on the trailer and dad dropped it off at Bill's shop yesterday evening.
They're fixing the issue with the master cylinders, new rear driveshaft, extending the front driveshaft, fixing the oil leak coming from the rear of the intake manifold, and a couple other small details.
Overall I made a huge amount of progress for working solo this weekend but just ran out of time.
