Thick paper and right stuff, factory torque specs 100 in lbs.

I am still waiting to do a full mock up on mine but I had the compressor mounted and I do not have much room to go up. I got a second fill tube to modify if needed. I will be interested to see what your mock up looks like. Have you decided on a condenser size and placement? I am still on the fence a...

Tom, make sure the oil is drained when you pull the filler/dipstick tube. I got in a hurry on my last engine pull and forgot. What a mess.

The rear engine covers are the same sizes but 62 dropped the cool check pattern that 61s have. 61s have different cooling cutouts in the engine...

Craig you are doing great work. Is this going to get a fuse box upgrade?

It did come with a film strip and a written reference, I just don’t have them.

You guys are doing great, keep up the good work.

So Cool, keep up the great work!

You can't beat a wagon.
