The four 4mm screws holding the pump assembly to the motor were a little seized. I drilled a 1 1/2" hole in a scrap piece of 2 x 4 lumber, to allow for the bell end of the pump motor to sit flat. After that, it only took one or two hits with my impact driver the free - up the screws.

Hi Geoff. My name is Peter, and this was my car for about 20 years. You met my dad last month. I think you know about the transmission replacement. Another major repair we did besides that was to replace all the suspension bushings. We used OEM rubber ones, rather than urethane. I also replaced all the fuel injector seals. A big job that I wanted to do but never got the chance to was to replace the fuel injection wiring harness. I'll add some comments on your other posts with more details that you might find interesting.
ReplyDeleteHello Peter! Thank you for taking the time to post these comments, its great to hear from you! The car drives so well, I am pleased (not surprised) to hear that it has new(er) suspension bushings. I agree that a new fuel injection harness could be a good idea, those wires are very brittle.
