Hi guys,
Due to a recent traffic accident I Need to get my Elky on the road ASAP as a backup. I bought a beater for teh winter, but it is shakey.

NEXT weekend (January 7th - SILLY dummy me!!) I will be putting the headers and exhaust on, putting in the power door options and getting the thing tuned-up to drive.
I'm just outside Cincinnati near I275 & SR32 by the Eastgate mall.

I have a heated garage and most all the tools except a working timing light.

This would be a way for us to get together, meet and greet, and any help could get would be MOST appreciated!!

And the beer is on me!

PM me for directions and cell phone number.

Thanks all!

8) Better be careful offering free beer! You might end up with guys from at least 48 states and maybe Canada and Mexico! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Some beer, a removed and replaced engine, and the headers are now in the car and attached to the block.

That's right, removed and replaced engine. To fit the damn things in we had to pull the engine almost completely out of the car.

I can, now, in a pinch get the Elky on the street in a day if I have to. this is a real relief as my daily is ....well...shakey??

SO......
Now I am working on redoing the plumbing, etc. Please see my post in the AC section.

Basically i'm looking to flip the AC condensor to cut down the plumbing.

Any ideas would be helpful!!

Thanks for the help, guys!!
