Haven't had much opportunity to work on the car this week. But I did find time to switch out the Hayes 2797 fan clutch with a 2731, which put the fan deeper into the shroud. The car would get a little hot while idling for extended periods of time before the change but now stays right at 185. I also played around with basic tuning parameters. I didn't anticipate the fun I'm having making changes on the handheld and seeing what happens. The car is running well, pretty close to where it needs to be, but needs to be driven. So far no leaks or funny noises. Brakes seem to work well as does the transmission. The 9" is noisy but I'm told this is normal.
Next three projects are (1) tidying up wiring under the dash, (b) installing a 76-79 style coolant recover tank and washer fluid tank, and (c) installing the rest of the interior. After that alignment and A/C charge.
