Gauges are in.

In 67 the low fuel lamp socket needs to be installed below the circuit board as the fuel module sends a positive signal. I believe a previous owner didn't realize this and fried the board. This also explains the fried wire coming from the original console harness.

I cleaned, replaced grease fittings where needed, greased and installed tie rods, and idler arm. The original spare tie rods I used were in great shape.

Flywheel installed and torqued per arp specs. Next I'll dial indicate bellhousing. I'm waiting for some small parts to refresh the M22.

Looks great and WHERE did you get that flywheel lock ? I've never seen one like that. That must work better for torqueing than the turning tool.

Here's the tool. Allstar Performance ALL96426. I used it on the "wrong" side but it still did the job easy peasy.

Also, I was able to use a dial indicator and the bellhousing runout is .004" so no need to use offset dowels.
