My daily driver 67 Coronet wagon

[ckessel]

After I removed the defective fuel pump from the hybrid, I did some vacuuming of the area. After that I pulled my dollies out that I have the disassembled 440 core on. Went through the pieces and pulled out what's needed for the machine shop plus saving for re-use. I removed the oil galley plugs, with the help of the torch heating the block. The one by the crank didn't want to cooperate, so I welded an extra Allen wrench to it. Its now out too.

I'm waiting for the new oil pressure gauge to show up for the hybrid, so I took some time to get more stuff ready for the wagon. Since I don't have the sway bar mounts for the K-frame, I made a pair. Put the bar into the dimpled area of the K, put some tape there to lessen scratches, and figured out what I needed. I needed two, 8", pieces so I looked through my metal selection. I had a 17" piece of 1/4"x 1.50 wide strap. Perfect. Cut it, trimmed the inner edges, marked out where to drill holes, drilled holes, mocked everyone up, good to go. I took all of the mill scale off the pieces, washed them down with brake clean, shot them with Ospho. They should be dry from the Ospho in an hour or so and I'll give them a coat of POR15 as a base to top coat with Rust Oleum matte black. There was one spot on the K I needed to whittle back for clearance of one bushing bolt. I'll dab some 15 on that, so the now bare spot has some protection.

I'm loaded up and ready for tomorrow's road trip to Fresno. Car has a nice stance when there's some weight in the back.

Took a little time to day to load the sway bar into the K-frame. One less thing to do for later.
