Where does the time go – 6 Hours

Today was spent finishing up a number of jobs, the differential cover was installed with a standard gasket and RTV Black silicone (I am determined this would not leak) and the cover bolts tightened to 30 ft/lb’s.

Filled differential with 4oz of Ford fiction modifier, and 2 quarts of Valvoline 75W90 gear oil.

Re-installed steering shaft with both bearing collar’s facing each other (1” front foot box bearing should have the collar inside of the foot well and the pillow block bearing flange should face the font of the car).

The Breeze offset steering rack bushings move the steering rack forward of the standard position and so it had been easy to install the 1” bearing backwards without interference of the knuckle joint. As I will be using a full under dash support it would be impossible to reach the pillow block flange grub screws unless this was facing forward. It is now possible to reach from within the foot box.

Passenger foot box fully assembled and installed with black GE silicone sealant and black rivets.
