Progress is increasing and confidence is at an all time high. I was able to successfully revitalize the transmission and I was able to troubleshoot some issues ( operator error XD) that I was having.
Namely, I forgot that the idle is naturally higher in park, because drive drops it down significantly. It explains both the difficulties warming up as well as it stalling out in gear/ with brakes applied.
Wh at a difference a little scrubbing makes.
Also, the problem with my tach not working was... That it wasn’t plugged in somehow.
After much swearing I was able to remove the rivets holding the bumper filler so i can swap it to the replacement used bumper. Yes, i know it needs sanded/painted. No, im not doing that right now.
Also fixed my hood alignment, and some more prep work. There really isnt that much more I need to do. Exciting times.
Left: fix the body bolt, install front bumper and wheel wells, tires, install exhaust, diagnose the hvac blower, fix the timing, modify and install the new new oil dipstick, a little work on the windsield washer system, fix the minor transmission fitting leak.

So close now! It’s so easy to do things like leave the tach unplugged. There’s usually so many things going on in your head that you can miss that last little step.

I wonder if thats the problem with my blower moter as well. Maybe it just popped out.

The fun thing about the blower motor system is that none of it is easy to get to ( inside the fender? Really?) so I hope it’s something straightforward like a broken wire somewhere easily accessible.

All that’s left is finishing.
Looks awesome though.

I replaced the blower motor already, it was mostly working before the engine rebuild, its likely the switch or the relay.

I was also thinking of the resistor pack, which isn’t easy to get to either, but now that I think about it if it had issues it would probably just kill one speed of the blower not keep it from working at all.

Before I had no high speed, now I have no speeds at all. I did already replace that weird coily resistor piece in the ac ductwork
