The Dark Wob

Or you would feel like a bell end...

Managed to get the bolts in last night, so in theory it's all bolted together - next job is the oil filter pipes I think.

Finally got a bit of time - so this is done (but not tested yet).

Oh those are vile colours, 20 years of road dirt needed to cover them!

They are on the underside of the engine so will mostly be out of sight. These are the fittings and colours I aspired to when I used to buy Custom Car etc and I evidently haven’t moved on

It's not going to painted in metalflake or whatever is it?

Not in my ownership.

Decided to remove the water pump from the old engine to fit it to the "new" one.

For a very short period in 1967 AMC decided to use a longer shaft water pump.
It was wank, lasted a very short time and almost all are extinct, so guess which one is on my "new" engine?

After several snapped bolts and a lot of swearing, I have the pump off the old engine - it's not that old actually as I changed it. Also the 'stat housing which is missing from the new engine.

I am feeling the after effects of the sniffles though and I am fucked after that one little job.

My hand slipped and I accidentally ordered a fuel injection system from the US as well.
