The Coming Weeks
Created on 2009-06-01 20:21:26
Once a $10 peg bolt kit arrives from Moss (BO's 2 weeks), the following will be quickly dispatched:
1) install gear reduction starter
2) install all new rear suspension components
3) install new BH fuel tank with new copper fuel line to fuel pump (there's a crack in the fuel feed connection allowing gas to leak out when running and the tank is filled above 3/4 capacity - nasty - however the PO did inform me of this issue. Somehow fixing it, rather than constantly running on low fuel levels, seems like a better long term solution (Yes, I ran out of gas 2 times in my first week of ownership. Why would I trust a really old fuel gauge).
My mechanic is anxiously awaiting my arrival. Would do all this myself if the GT could be safely lifted, but that's not to be in my garage.
Thinking about upgrading to an all electronic distributor and high performance coil. Any product recommendations or suggestions for a 1969 GT?
