Worked on the '49 some more this weekend. Doing this year's preventative maintenance, dropped the tranny pan for a filter and some fresh fluid, and dropped the oil out of the rearend for some new synthetic stuff. Waiting on a Lube-Locker gasket to seal it back up and pour the 75w90 Amsoil Severe Gear fluid. Yesterday I reworked the coil brackets to get them off of the firewall and behind/under the air cleaner. No pics yet, I'll post some when I get everything finalized. Need to make some new wires to make sure I'm happy with the fit. This will make it look even more like a Gen 1 SBC, faking a distributor.
Still no word on the seat, hopefully next weekend?
The guy doing the transmission service spilled fluid after he thought the pan was completely drained....and will remain unnamed.
I also ordered some Hellwig stuff to help with axle wrap, hope to have those installed by next weekend also.
