Picked up the new fuel pump and filter today so I can play with it later today and hopefully have it running and semi-driving just so it can be moved around under its own power. Its taking up valuable garage space.

I also picked up a new steering wheel for the car

.....
D&W Tuning MOMO wheel. Just need a hub adapter for it.

Thanks guys. The dimpled areas on the left and right spokes are the horn buttons. Pretty neat if you ask me.

Went out tonight and pulled off some fuel lines and cleaned the crust out of the little screens on the WUR and fuel head then fixed 3 obvious vacuum leaks and gave it a whirl.
It now runs, I have video proof. Enjoy

PS I know the tach is dead and it sounds like it has a mis. Clearly it needs more work but im happy that soon I may be able to drive it.

Went out and fired it up just a bit ago. Still misfiring on one cylinder, looks like I get to pull injectors and take me a loot at what they are spraying or if at all in at least one case i'm guessing because piston #1 was dry when pulled spark plugs the other night after cranking it for a while. Ordered up injector O-rings for that.

Tach is now working

but the fuel accumulator is dripping fuel pretty bad. Its almost full on taking a piss under the car :( so now I needs to order me one up one of those too, along with pick up a proper battery and try to find a proper hold down for it since the original is missing. Maybe Martin has one he'd trade me for that trim piece he needs for his 3b.

Also I drove it for the first time...about 3 feet forward and 3 feet in reverse because the jumper cables to the battery sitting on the garage floor were a bit of a limit strap lol.
