to save explanation, I'm a SDA - means I don't work on my cars on Sabbath.... I say that to give context to the next stuff
I was rushing to get done before sundown, and I think I did.... but I didn't get it off the lift, nor did I get to drive it.... nothing like suspense.....
I did get the parts today, however, at 10:30 (woohoo Summit!)
Last night, I worked on my truck and put the brake controller in - does my trailer have brakes? yes. Do the work? no. Does the brake controller work? why bother if the brakes don't work... but at least the controller is in the truck
so after removing the transmission again.... and putting the fork in (I did verify that I could get a fork in.... but as I didn't have this fork; I guessed I'd be able to get it in... no)
and putting it back together
I need to paint it... but it's in
and bleeding
it's in... tomorrow night, after sundown (4:30), I'll get back onto finding out whether I'm racing the C3 or the 325.... if the C3, then I need to unload, and hookup my trailer.... that will take some time since it has press-brake parts on it.Doing it all wrong since 1966

and to be honest, I didn't even think about it - I was in such a rush.... ah well, that does give me a good starting point if I can't get it to work tomorrow night
I really want to race, and I was pretty disappointed when I realized I couldn't get the arm in from the outside. I managed to pull and reinstall the trans and bellhousing in 1 1/2 hoursLast edited by SuperBuickGuy; November 15, 2013, 10:16 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966

none of the above. Went out, got fuel, got home and smelled oil.... put it up on the rack and applied silicone to the offending leak..... we'll see if it works tomorrow.
When I put the pan on, there was a glob of silicone on the front seal area - I put it there, but have no recollection of doing so.... now I know why, it leaks... so I applied some from the outside and spatula'd it in.... hopefully got into the area and sealed it. I was planning on loading tonight... that's not going to happen. the silicone needs to dry so I'll be loading first thing in the morning.... yippee up at 6 on a SundayDoing it all wrong since 1966
