i forgot to actually make this post readable, back in, uh, May.

it’s probably incomplete and that’s why i never posted it, but, meh. i was tired of it being the only post in the /main/mustang category, and wanted to consolidate the mustang under /main/hobbies anyways.

oh: weekend before last, some minor work was done. the carb’s already pulled off, but we pulled out the old battery (entire battery shelf enclosure is rusted out, going to need to replace that), pulled the ignition coil, distributor and cap, all the spark wires, and some other stuff. next steps are to get rid of stepbrother mark’s engine that’s been sitting gathering dust for like four years in dad’s garage — it’s some GM thing (a 305 maybe? god knows what it came out of) that i don’t think anyone’s even pretending mark cares about rebuilding anymore — so we can use the “engine rotisserie,” as i fondly refer to the stand. pull the engine out, pull the valve covers off, and get at the heads. no doubt this will require the world’s largest vat of WD-40. man, i love WD-40. most useful general-purpose household and mechanical lubricant ever invented. i hope someone got a nobel prize for science for that stuff.
