Plain Jane OEM nothing to see here rebuild

[JustJeff]

I'm proud to say that almost all the car's bugs have apparently been addressed!!??!!

I have apparently found my exhaust leak. The exhaust still sounds a little pooty, but I'm wanting to take it to a shop and have them hang the exhaust properly. I have the typical RB driver side tailpipe hanging lower than passenger side. While bending the hangers hopefully than can tighten things back up better than I could.

I have also apparently found why my engine was not idling properly. Part of it was the TPS needing adjusting. The other part was apparently a noob timing issue. I was not stabbing the CAS with the yellow(leading?) mark set on the front cover pin.

I do have some small issues to address still. Brakes are still squishy. I'm going to pull the master cylinder off my other vert tonight and tomorrow.

Also my speedometer cable pulled out from the instrument panel while I was connecting it to the transmission. What happened was the actual cable pulled out from within sleeve. I'm hoping I can simply pull the instrument cluster and simply reattach it. I had to swap mine years ago and remember it being a PITA to snake the thing up through dash.

Prosport oil pressure gauge still reads nothing. I've removed it and don't know what to do with it other than beat it with a hammer.

Hopefully I don't get any surprises tomorrow, but so far I couldn't be happier
