Finally got the motor running well today. Replaced a carb gasket and re-sealed the EGR blanking plate. Re gapped the plugs to 0.045" last week cos I'm running the MSD box and disconnected the vac advance.Also replaced a fried kickdown cable.There's still a bit more fine tuning to do and then onto the bodywork and interior.

Shaggy where ever your going on vacation your getting there quick !! : P

That sounds like a good day to me.
I'm glad to hear you got her running well...

Brought it to car meet this morning and it's all good under the hood!

Good to hear

More photos ... lot's done lot's to do....



As you can see the stance is a little front high. At first I thought this was cos it spent so much time up on jack stands and that eventually the springs would settle back down. Now I reckon that it's more down to me removing the A/C and the AIR pump and smog rubbish when I switched the motors. The motors themselves should weigh the same but the junk I removed has gotta weigh quite a bit. Should look OK once I put on the wheelarch flares and raise the back with air supension and bigger tyres.

I dig the skate wheel shifter knob. Thats a cool wagon ya got there.

looking real good!
