Yesterday had it's high and lows for certain. The heat riser gasket was leaking. I had been soaking the nuts on the manifold studs for a couple of weeks. 2 of the nuts on the passenger were cooperative (with heat). 1 of them was not.........



I have had luck with welding a nut onto the remaining stud.

That was not the case here. Soooo.....pull the manifold and sharpen up the bits. This only killed half of the day yesterday. A victory was had though!


The directional switch came in, and that all went to plan. Now I could button up the interior
