Old enough to know better
You might consider putting a prefilter in front of that pump. Nice use of Oetiker clamps.Replacing the shifter bolt/bushing/wavy washer was more than a PITA than I expected. All parts from MWB: new rubber bellow, new lollipop (which required a bit of a tweak to lay flat against the trans input attachment) and bolt kit. The bolt bushing wouldn't go into the lollipop hole without a tiny bit of work with a rat-tail file, and the wavy washer wouldnt go around the bushing without some persuation with a a vice, socket and hammer.

Finally, after about a dozen times up and down off the creeper (jealous, again, of you bastards with lifts!) got it on and snugged up. Will be a couple weeks until wheels are done and she's down on the ground, then I can see how well aligned everything is.
Also got the new lower fuel lines on and cleaned up fuel pump back in, with new rubber isolators and rubber clamp liner on the mount.
Next up: new brake hoses and fluid flush/bleed, and reverse-bleed through the clutch slave. Expecting a moderate mess and hoping fror a firm pedal..
