Re: the converter swap begins!!!

well i went out and started working on the car about 11am today and had it all back together and driving in two hours! the converter made a huge diffrence the thing is a rocket now. those poor 275 kuhmos took a beating today! ive still got a few bugs i need to sort out like mystery oil leak throttle cable issue and gear selector cable isnt quite how i want it.

anyway here are some pics second pic is of everything back together.
