Thought I'd report in.. basically its gone poorly the last week. The motor runs great but leaks badly.. bad luck, rushing, poor planning and counting on others along with bad luck has been my undoing.. I'll elaborate more but suffice to say It'll need to come back out this fall....did I mention the bad luck part? If anything could have gone wrong with the power steering it did.. the cooling system is not far behind Restoring original components to keep the car killer correct is the culprit here.. old oil pans, old timing covers and water necks.. recored original radiator tanks.. bla bla.. have all come back to haunt me The suck part is that the engine runs like a dream tom @ camaropacecars.com ( remove the space between m,@,c) | |||

Nothing like an NOS GM steering box with a missing o-ring seal to really F-up the subframe paint when it spewed like a volcano... anyone see an O-ring? NO? Because there isn't one tom @ camaropacecars.com ( remove the space between m,@,c) | |||

Don't let anyone tell you the power steering pump valves are all the same... they ain't If you need to replace the threaded fitting..replace the valve as well!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Tom McGinnity, tom @ camaropacecars.com ( remove the space between m,@,c) | |||

Sorry to hear about the troubles that you had Tom! She is still a great shot in the arm, just as David's wall hanger is! Man I wish all our asses lived closer together! Wouldn't that be a sight! | |||

Tom your a total machine. When do you sleep? As with anything mechanical if something can go wrong it will. It still looks like you will make Carlisle with the car anyway. You have completed more than most people in half the time so if you need to redo some of it later , I am sure you will still be way in front. Keep up the good work mate | |||

Geoff..the only place left to find time is blowing off sleep I stemmed the power steering issues by stealing the box from the O-1 car The oil leaks are healing pretty well. The coolant leaks are all but gone.. I think the H2O pumps back cover may be weeping slightly. The good news.. I had to bleed the air from the power steering so I sucked it up and drove her down the street and back ( In the dark with my neighbor blocking any traffic ( no nose on the car means no lights in front ) The rest of the car is a dream boat.. the original shocks in the rear make for a super spongy super smooth ride Those are out of here after Carlisle! Shifts, stops bla bla bla.. I'm pleased at this point.. gonna take a break and send her to the convertible top guy.. then bash away at the nose bodywork... tom @ camaropacecars.com ( remove the space between m,@,c) | |||

Talk about "Back to the Future", those twin lightning rods make it look like you have this powered like the professesors DeLorean searching for a bolt of lightning. Car is REALLY Looking Great. Looks a lot better than a "driver grade" car which you first described to be building. | |||

Very true! But I was also thinking about a fleet of Pacers actually hitting the road for a cruise! I don't that will ever happen at Carlisle! | |||
