Update! I reattached the W-pipe and pressure tested the coolant system. SUCCESS[1]
Next, I'm going to finish installing the hoses for the gas tank and the new accumulator.
I'm still possibly on track for body/frame reunification on Sunday if I can get a few more helpers.
Anyone that wants to come by freeside tomorrow or Sunday will be put to work!
Tasks for the weekend:
- Reassemble and pressure test fuel system (as much as possible)
- Reinstall intake manifold [2]
- Pressure test fuel system[3]
- Unify body/frame[3]
Also, offer stands that if anyone needs AC work done, bring your car down. I'll evacuate, inspect, and recharge your AC.

[1]: With three exceptions: The heater valve is rusted out and needs to be replaced (currently replaced by a short piece of tube), the heater core is in the body, and likewise replaced with a piece of tube, and my coolant tester itself is having trouble getting a good seal….. time to 'return' the loaned tool to auto zone, i guess
[2]: Assuming I'm not missing any more screws…..
[3]: Or banjo bolts…..
[2/3]: Also, I'm not sure of the order of these two. I think the intake manifold goes on first….
