Ill have to think on that.
So I hooked everything up and turned the key to just before before ignition and the fuel pump runs constantly and I noisy as hell is this normal?

Sounds like it is wired different then stock. Did you install the insulator around the pump?

It does have some suspect wiring it should prime for a few seconds then stop right.
And no to the insulation at the moment.

No they dont prime like every other car. Pump is only active during crank and run.

Would it hurt to have it running like this just to fire it up and fault find the problem once I know I get fuel to the motor?

Through link mine is setup just like yours Kirk.

I don't think it's a huge issue, one of the reasons they made it like that was for fire reasons, at least that's what I was told.

Right on ill leave it for now until the rewire.

Been a while since she was on all fours.

SHE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!

frack yeah! Congrats buddy!

Cheers exhaust next

Great feeling ain't it. well done.

I did however forget the oil feed line for the turbo oops

Umm.... yeah that one's important

And rust proofed the passenger side of the engine bay without my approval.
exhaust was welded up tonight, 3 inch down pipe and cat then 2.5 to the muffler.

I made the mistake of not bleeding the brakes while my engine was out and no the prop valve is leaking so I have to take it out and see why.
horrible job.

Did you flare the lines yourself? May be a bad flare. May just not be tight enough.

Reflared it and it still leaked.

Do you have a pic of your flare and where it is leaking?

Its when I push the brake pedal it squirts back towards the pipe through the fitting(which I changed when I reflared).

which fitting are you using?

Reusing the old ones non of the others have leaked.

Ok just checking
I reused as well, but I had bought the ones ziggy had and wasn't satisfied with how they went on.

Im wondering if there is a crack in the thread wall or something

Doubt it. Get some pics of your flare and the prop valve.

Will do gonna have a hell of a time getting it off

Must have been a bad flare I used a stock line and it didnt leak, went to cut it to length and broke the 3/16 adapter.

That's typical. I always keep a spare 3/16.

Decided to replace all my lines with premade, brakes aren't something im willing to gamble with.

Brakes still holding up progress

what's wrong now?

Look in the help me section, brakes wont bleed.

Amongst all the annoyance I bought some goodies a omp steer8ng wheel to take over from my classic momo I've had for a few years. Also a apparent short shifter we will have to see on that one. Also grabbed a master cylinder just incase.

And we are back on track bled the cylinder, bled the brakes pedal is stiff as you would like. May change once I start the car but I live in hope.
also fitted the exhaust it was very snug and a portion of it is touching the car should I be worried??????.

Which part of the car, maybe a picture would help

The tunnel just before the axle

there's a heatshield there usually, is yours still there?

I would suggest wrapping that part of your exhaust

The exhaust shield is gone, isnt there some heat wrap you can buy at home depot?

yeah there may be, pretty sure canadian tire has it too DEI is the company you are looking for

Where the exhaust crosses the driveshaft at the rear makes me feel uneasy. It is fairly close indeed.
