Thanks for all the replies thus far. I will plan on installing the brake
lines and fuel line, the original fuel line seems just fine (cleaned it a
bit) and that'll help, I won't have to bend a new one. The brake lines I am
replacing as a matter of course (lines have been open to the elements for
probably 20 years or close to it). I have the brake line set and I carefully
removed the originals so I have a pattern or at least can make better sense
out of where they run. I may have a picture or two somewhere too. I can
figure this out later for sure, but the fuel and brake line running to the
rear run under the floorpan, right? Or thru the tunnel?
If I should bleed the slave cyl. before actually bolting it to the
transmission, then I need to move the "master cylinder" to the front burner.
On the engine reinstall, If I don't tighten the steering shaft into place, I
can just pull the shaft when I reinstall the motor, maybe this would make
things easier?
Do the head studs need to be torqued into the block?
Ron I have the rear plate put back on already, just used the gasket.
