I picked my tube up from Autozone. Permatex is the manufacturer
and from what I can tell, it seals up nicely and holds the gasket in place
when offering it up to the engine.
On the frame over: My 70 SIIa 88 will be roaring to life today! Yesterday
I finsihed re-installing the wings and bought new plugs and oil and
installed both. Today is double-checking the timing, installing some gauges
and turning the key.
All that there is left is the bonnet, doors and floors. It's been a long 8
months but the resto should be completed in the next 2 - 3 weekends. How
has anyone that has performed the frameover successfully transitioned from
the "I've gotta get out there and finish this project or my wife will kill
me" to after it's done, waking up on a Saturday and having nothing but
regular maintenance to do? Anyone want to suggest a new restoration project
for me to work on? Maybe a boat -- something that can be tinkered with and
finished in time for my retirement in 30 or so years :)
