      • Starter and Timing Success
        04/14/22
        Got the starter in today. Whomever installed it the last time must have used an air ratchet to tighten it down...had to pull out the 24" breaker bar and 9/16ths impact impact socket to break the bottom bolt loose. It's all good now; RD had clocked the starter on the mounting flange and

        And a little more work...

        Bonnet nose interior painted with truckbed liner...it's still wet, hence the sheen, but should transition to more satin-ish in time.

        Brake line jumpers to bypass the boosters and PWDV (for now...until I replumb). Hint: use the same type of fitti

        Had the opportunity to stop by RD this morning to replenish my 'to be installed' parts stash...nice to catch up after a few years, pandemic, detour to an MGB...good to see old friends...I've been dealing with him for over 40 (!) years...and trust his insight as to what I need to have

        04/05/22
        I know it's a bit down the road for my ride at this point (my quick trip around the block did not reveal any steering or alignment abnormalities...yet...but Fall River MA streets are bomb-cratered, so no doubt it will happen at some point..).
