Put on a new GM mini-starter in place of the DB electrical one I had. Starting the car is sooooo smooth now! I don't know why but the DB starter did not like to say aligned with the flywheel.
Also managed to drop the air cleaner wing nut right into the carb yesterday. Thankfully it was not running and the butterfly stopped it so I could get it with a magnet but it was definitely one of those "uh-oh" moments!
Got the hydroboost all installed. Need to bleed the brakes but everything seems good thus far. Pump is moaning even after turning the wheel lock to lock 20+ times. Pedal also feels bad if you press it hard but I am hoping there is just air in the lines. Brakes are definitely much improved though! Drove it around the neighborhood and it takes very little effort to make your face want to kiss the front windshield.
Cam is sitting in the rear seat floor board, waiting to go in. Just need my new transmission to be built and things will being to come apart, again.....
