That sounds incredible. Maybe that swap into your Scorpion, would be cool.

 

[mikeroten]

oh, I thought about it. trust me.

fuse box tidied up, relays back in.

cooling system pressurized, it's holding 10PSI, he's going to let it sit over the weekend. it's time to buy a battery!

 

[Ron Avery]

Very cool. I never would have thought, the progress would be so rapid. I am happy to be wrong.

 

[mikeroten]

I'm glad you're wrong too

Pressure dropped a little bit overnight, gonna change a clamp in one spot in the engine bay, and confirm that one of the hard lines that is suspect doesn't have a pinhole in it. I'm guessing he's going to try to fire it up this coming week!

I'm on the hunt for an original shift knob. if anyone's got one, lemme know!

 

[Ron Avery]

Three options

that center one looks reasonably presentable... I'm imagining the cointop can be polished up a lil bit. price?

 

[Dean Scharer]

I can FedEx it to you at no charge other than shipping. Pm me your address if you want to do this.

I have been the beneficiary of multiple former Scorpion owners who have given me tons of parts. If there is something needed feel free to ask.

 

[mikeroten]

PMd - thank you!

found the source of the pressure drop, clamp at the thermostat. it's tightened up and recharged again to 10PSI. I think this week is going to be exciting!
