Week 42:
Didn't have a lot of time to work on the car this week. I finally managed to get the windshield washer reservoir reinstalled. It fought me every step of the way, from the motor cracking when I reinstalled it (not to mention needing an 18" socket extension and a deep well to even install the thing) to needing to take the motor apart and rotate it to get the wiring into position.
Combined with the newly replaced overflow tank, the look of the plastics in the engine bay is vastly improved:
I also picked up a small tin of fuses off eBay. I like to carry a few replacements in the car, and the tin looks a lot better than just a plastic bag. The original tin came with 5 30A ones, but I switched them out with an array of sizes that the car uses.
With the plastics completed and everything back together, I realized there was no need to keep the hood open any more. I've had it open for the past month or 2 while I was working on valve covers, air cleaner, etc. It looked so different I decided to snap a picture of it:
I also decided to clean up the garage, and I took another look at the original glove box liner that I pulled off the car. First I noticed it had been marked with a "12"
Second in the upper corner, there was a piece of masking tape and under it was:
So that means at one point there were at least 2 broadcast sheets in the car. One taped to the back of the glove box and obviously removed by a previous owner and the one I found under the driver's seat.
