The Happiest Belt - In order to remove the smog pump I needed to replace the belt it used with a lawn mower belt. To do this usually requires a lot of wedging, shoving and pinching. Unless you're me this week. Then you drape the belt over the pulleys and forget about it. Later you work on the starter and the pulley catches the belt and you're done!
Custom Ignition - We have two electrical engineers on our team (this means you Paul and Eric). So, who wires up the ignition....me. Who can complain about getting shocked....no one.
Custom Block off Plates - So to remove the smog stuff I made some snazzy aluminum block of plates and used extra washers to hold them on.Green Disclaimer - I've been removing all the smog equipment and was feeling a bit guilty. Until I realized what the 1979 equipment did. It basically added air to the exhaust so it would come out cleaner. Well, not really "cleaner", it has the same amount of pollutants, just with a higher air to exhaust ratio. Now I don't feel so bad.
Vacuum Hose Clean Up - It may not look like it but nine tenths of the vacuum tubes have been removed. I owe a huge thanks to a site that gave a how two on this operation, but they're not getting it until this thing starts.

London Calling has wound up on the ipod more than I thought possible. I can't quite explain it but it's definitely music for working on cars.
