it's done it's done
overall not bad if I do say so
about 20hrs of work, 20 or so new bolts, all new accessory belts, rewired 14 pin connector and some other odds n ends
she fired right up on the first crank, no unusual sounds, no gushing fluids and she idles fine and temp stays right at 1st line after 10 minutes of idle (indoors)

tomorrow... look out Raleigh!!!

Good job! Did you get the electrical issues worked out?

thanks guys..
I need to work on the electrical this week, I'm willing to bet most if the problems are tied to the fact there are multiple aftermarket (read IDIOT PO installed) stereo systems spliced in
I also appear to have a couple loose oil pan bolts (will go on the lift tomorrow to check that out)
the tb does now track straight which is a major plus and a load off my mind
