New OD Gear IN and Smogpump out
That was easy.
Thanks to my new friends at Rennlist, I have repaired the odometer on my '85 and pulled off my smogpump in prep for a new bearing.
I had one close call and I should give this as a warning to anyone working on their gages.
Once you have the gages out on the bench, never take your hands off of them while you are working. I had mine stood on end for about 3 seconds to grab something and over they went face down, just like dropping buttered bread. <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
The oil pressure needle got bent and I had to bend it back straight. I was sweatin' big time <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" /> Anyway, it went back with no harm done. Sounds stupid I know but I just wasn't thinkin' for a moment.
I also got my smog pump off without taking off anything but the smog pump filter housing. I was a little nervous about cutting the AC belt as I manipulated the pump out of the socket so I wrapped the belt with a rag. Worked out great.
Now I need help to dissemble and rebuild this cruddy thing. Anyone????
Thanx So Much For All The Invaluable Info. Folks.
