aaaaand we're back. working on getting it back on the road after years of sitting.
in the last couple days:
-new center support bearing installed, driveshaft put back into car (it'd been on the garage floor for a while)
-set of new tires installed, wheels back on the car
-found the new battery i bought and never installed (1+yr ago), gonna see if it takes a charge
-new hardware holding the air filter housing in place so it doesnt rattle like crazy
things that i have to sort out:
-the oil pressure gauge send line is currently hanging free with a screw plugging it, idk what i was planning but i gotta figure out how to hook that back up
-gotta crawl under and reinstall the speedo cable, no biggie
-last time i drove it, the vac shutoff wasnt working, and the vac locks were acting weird. gonna have to go through the whole vac system :-\
-power steering has a leak somewhere i guess, it's empty.
-i vaguely recall i needed to troubleshoot the glow plug system, dunno whats up with that, we'll see when i get the battery going
-need to hook something up between the intake and the valve cover vent, idk if i can find some bits and pieces to put something together or if i'm going to have to find the oem parts for that....
other random parts i need to buy / replace:
-hood star
-spare tire deck
-antenna mast
thats all for now, i'll try and remember to keep this thread updated
