Cut out a piece of crushed fuel line (the REAL reason the PO parked her in 93...dummy). Brazed a hump on the fuel line and clamped on a piece of fuel hose.

Also installed the new-to-me accumulator (Thanks Brian!), and new fuel filter.....

I tried to replace both coils. Got one swapped out and started on the other one. When I went to put the nuts on the two terminal posts, one of the nuts no longer fit - it was too large. Hmmm. As it turns out, both my old coils had different sized posts - the positive was a larger diameter than the negative. So did one of the new ones, but not the other. So, I'm waiting on a replacement to match what was on the car before along with the other one that was provided.

I don't know if it makes a difference or not. Making this more weird was that the part numbers, both old and new, all match. Here's a pic of the coil that will be going back, note the same size diameter terminal posts:

They are that way as the cables have different size holes to ensure they are put on the right posts...

Nothing profound today.
Changed out some old hoses and clamps at the coolant reservoir prophylactically.

Fixed shifter on my Euro 5 spd. Front ball cup replaced! PITA to get to, but all the more proud that it's done now.
