    Change Transmission Cooling Lines

    I 'snaked' mine through pretty easily but with the radiator and front end off. Take note of the routing around the engine mounts etc. and the lines I got from NPD didnt line up very well with the radiator fittings so might be ready to bend/cut/flare the lines a bit.

    first start...

    Thanks, Any other first start tips I could use?? Someone recommended a separate fuel filter and The resto book I have has this bit where you just stick a hose in the radiator and open the drain so its constantly fresh water... Any tips/stories would be appreciated... Thanks again, CJ

    Stock sway bar size?

    The bushings I got are WAY too big. I got a micrometer to the sway bar and it comes out to just under 3/4" They sell 11/16 and 3/4. So which one should I get? I mean should the bushings be super tight, or is it a preference? Its a 70 F code f/b.
