Not a lot done tonight as I mostly hung up some new fluorescent lights and started to clean up the garage.

In addition to the updates in the list below, I also put my shim in the lower steering shaft to U-Joint connector. It was a .006 spacer that I cut to size and jammed in there to take up the space. This really reduced the extra play in the steering wheel. I think once the clips are on the upper steering shaft that the upper play will be eliminated. There still is a little play where the lower U-Joint goes into the steering rack. I still need to figure out a good way to eliminate this.

Updated Pre-Engine/Wheels list
  • DONE! Brake light switch needs to be installed (on order from Napa, will pick it up on Monday)
  • The gaps in the passenger and drivers side footboxes need to be sealed up with some silicone
  • DONE ENOUGH FOR NOW, NEEDS FINAL TIGHTENING! The round steering shaft things (I don't know what they are called) need to be installed.
  • NOT GONNA HAPPEN, WILL NEVER GET IT OUT AGAIN! The upper steering shaft clips need to be installed
  • DONE! Need an appropriate sized nut and bolt for the lower steering shaft to u-joint
  • The battery ground cable needs to be fastened to the frame
  • The positive battery cable needs to be fastened to the appropriate place on the drivers foot box (wherever that is)
  • Clear coat the upper radiator hose extension
  • Bead both radiator hose extensions
  • Fill the Differential with gear oil and friction modifier
  • Tighten up the IRS upper control arms
  • ORDERED CORRECT CABLES TODAY! Emergency brake cable installation
