-1000 scene points for the comment, but you should get some + for the IP DIY's you posted earlier. :laughing:

To put this back on topic, I like bacon, and Diesels.

This little red wagon reminds me of my Dad's old caddy that I learned to drive manual on - I'd like to take it for a spin! Trev, I know you will get it sealed up. :thumbsup: :beer:

Just got the new pump in and took it for a spin. I wont have the gauge for timing until Wednesday though. Seems to run well :)

Update:
Got the IP in and timed. Turns out that you need the cold start valve in when setting the timing. Still soots like locomotive so I think the full load quantity needs to be backed off a little. Now that it can be driven, I have found that the driver side tie rod is completely toast because the caliper on the passenger side is frozen up. Also the vacuum pump is shot so there is no assist for the one working caliper, but I do have a later sytle MK2 replacement from Brax. Hopefully, if the lady lets me, I will have these issues sorted this weekend. Last major thing on the list is the hole in the radiator and no working temp gauge.
