The Badger is right. But he's not accounting for my hatred of getting a new phone. I just hate the whole process. Ugh. I have the same hatred for new glasses, but I'm due for those too.

The majority of yesterday's work was dedicated to getting the Lokar throttle cable in place. It took a solid two hours just to get it in place under the dash. I used the plastic sleeve, sacrificed from the original cable assembly, to get it attached to the pedal. Then it was a solid two man effort to get it mounted to the fire wall because the mounting threads are a bit too short. But we persevered.
Then we put the rest of the windshield wiper assembly back in place so it should function when necessary.
Next week the seat can go back in, the intake and coils can go back on, and if we're lucky, we can get the other end of the throttle cable cut to length and attached to the throttle body.

The seat is back in place. And since I had most of the top end apart, I put new gaskets, or seals in this case, on the valve covers, intake manifold, and valley cover. Next week we should be able to finally get the intake back on for good, finish up the throttle cable, and work on some PCV tubing and brake vacuum hose. It's a little slower going as dad's broken tractor deck has been sucking up some Saturday morning time.
