As soon as I get my pile running, I'll help you with the brake line. I"m holding you to running next weekend.

I stepped away for a while and haven't lost my determination, i remember that checker makes set length lines that are already flared with fittings, so I'm going to buy that and just bend it to shape, which means I'll have to drop the engine cradle/subframe to snake the line in there easier.

I don't know when I'll try it, I also picked up my seal, so maybe I work on getting other things together in the mean time.

Checker no longer exists. ;)

That said, I'm going to ask again, are you using a compression fitting? If so, that's your problem right there, and your issue is precisely the reason they aren't legal on street cars anyway. Call it a lesson learned and replace the entire line.

no, I believe he is talking bending and double flaring the lines.

I am talking about double flaring and bending, i know its not called checker but oreillys doesn't roll off the tongue or type well.

Brake lines do not use compression fittings.

Well I got the brake lines sorted out, replaced the drivers side tranny seal and replaced a rear drivers side wheel stud.

Now i'm waiting for a oil cooler from some asshat that owns SIM racing in MI, he is telling me that he doesn't have a tracking number from fed ex even though u get one when the label is created, i'm expecting the fittings to be missing also, so yeah.

Anyway car is ready to be driven again, If i get done doing stuff around the house I might just go and find some plugs for the housing so i can drive the car.

Good luck with plugs, they are M16x1.5 if I remember right and very tough to find. I happen to know where there's a pair you can borrow. :)

Guy finally got me a tracking number, so as long as he didn't lie to me, I should be able to fill a couple quarts of trans fluid and motor oil and be on my way.

MAP supplied me with new injector seals, they had them on the shelf (AWESOME!) so I will be able to throw in my 950s as long as the test drive goes well.
