That's the plan. Just wanted to see if there was anything that raised any red flags or commonly misplaced connections. It will try to start with a little carb cleaner. I cracked the banjo bolts on...

I did not replace the o-ring. I didn?t move the throttle too much. It seemed to piece together well.

Like enough cranking to drain the battery?

Finally got the everything back together. New starter, water pump, alternator, hoses, and belts. It will crank and on occasion it will every so lightly putter but no start. Everything has been...

I feel like they fit a little loose around the banjo bolts. Not as snug as I would like them to be. I just ordered a smorgasbord of copper washers through Amazon. Didn't know if you had any other...

Having the same problem. Where did you end up?

Hi friends - I'm ALMOST to the point to getting the D back running from a pretty invasive (for me) rebuild. Having some fueling problems. First problem is leaks. I ordered new copper crush washers...

Thanks for the quick answers. I called and they said they THINK they have them. We will find out if they come in the box! Worst case, I will order from DG.

Working my D back together and I was looking at schematics online and it says the “backup ring is no longer available and you can “double it.” Seemed like a decent seal but wanted to check with...

Mark - thanks for the quick response! I am a novice to engines, especially coatings. I just didn't like the idea of putting old rusted/oily screws next to parts that you could literally eat off of...

So I just got some engine parts powdercoated and I'm trying to decide if I want to get the screws zinc coated. How have they held up?

Maybe? I've not seen what the captive nut box looks like from the bottom side. I'll take a look when I get home.

Guess it is time to replace the shocks.... :8ball:

So what started as a replacing a waterpump has grown, substantially. I noticed that the rear crossbrace is severely rusted and I wanted to get it properly cleaned up. I got the drivers side bolt out...

Thank you!! I should've seen that. I guess I was too tired! All the previous posts had said Remy was the preferred brand but this is Ultima. Any input?

Not to beat a dead horse but I can’t find a starter from O’Reilly’s through the links. When I search it shows two options and they are Ultima Brand. Anyone know the difference between the two?

I appreciate the healthy dose of fear. Genuinely concerned with getting in over my head with the lack of skill and time. We will see what kind of mood I am in when the parts arrive! I appreciate all...

Question - are any special tools needed? I have wide variety and not opposed to buying some just didn't want to need to a lot of specialty tools.

This was extremely helpful. I found a shop that was willing to take a look. Thanks!

I am little nervous that there are certain...

So I popped my alternator/water pump belt Monday night. I thought I would stretch my mechanical abilities and replace them. Picked up the belts and decided to give the water pump a spin. It is making...
