Oh yes, I put in the motor oil too! heeheeee. Then I put one exhaust clamp on one muffler to head pipe connection! WHY? Because that's all I had! heeheee. I did visit the parts store last thing today and bought a couple more, and some pipe hangers! Got to support my Grandson's paycheck, you know! After that I took the header pipes down from the manifold connections and put in my flange gaskets, then put the bolts back in with some thread locker (blue) on them and tightened everything up. I spent a lot of time just sitting and looking, next to the stoves of course! And a lot of time walking back and forth from the garage to the house and back. First for masking tape, then for my instructions on timing, then for the paint (which I forgot on the first two trips) and then for some nourishment, (some times I forget to eat, and not good because I have diabetes). haahaa. WHEW. So the day went by quickly, and got parts for tomorrow, if I don't get a work call. Perley
