Let me know when you get it.
Sorry man, Somehow your box ended up back here today with a sticker that says insufficiency postage. This doesn't make sense because it was weighed by the Post Office and paid for at the Post Office . Anyhow, I'll re-mail it out on Monday again.

Sorry for the wait.

Just got the General back on the road after the 4th time or so being totalled. This is also the 1st time I've had 3 running Tercels in the driveway that I own.

Pics to follow.

Somewhere after 30K I achieved 120psi in the crankcase. Filled the webber carb with oil, fouled the intake and spark plugs.

Since July, I started building a 4AC replacement. Ended up with a sandcast lightweight hollow crank, a bit of an overbore and a lumpy cam.

So as of Saturday night the motor is finally in! Another set back was destroying the coolant exchange tubes for the heater core. Time for another heater core.

So the dash has to come back out again. But it looks soooo good!
