Yup!!!

Well, if I could just park the racecar, cut back on the projects a bit, I'd have time... (it's a self-afflicted condition, let's face it!)

Update on this bad boy... finally got the fuel pump relay working (I ran it with the relay jumped before). No great surprise, the overboost switch in the pressure duct was dead. Thankfully, I had a NEW switch in box waiting to go in, so she's in now, and the car runs even on its original fuel pump relay and ignition boxes.

I even drove her under her own power last night, for the first time in 10 years!! Turned her around, washed again to get the dust off, and plan to polish and wax today, maybe even line the toys up for a photo op if I have time.

Still need to get a battery - may do that today, though I've got plenty of yardwork and some oil changes to do - and need a good/new/rebuilt control pressure regulator before she's really driveable. Also will need to assess the state of the cooling system soon, too. On the plus side, no oil leaks yet...
