> I did a bunch of work on my '67 Squareback last weekend:
> o New disc brake pads, new rotors (past wear limit), new rubber brake
lines
> o New dual port intake seal on left side, there was an air leak
> o New vacuum port rubber cap (cracked) because my car has a 009
> o Oil and tranny fluid change, greased front end
> o New plugs; new plug wires to replace mismatched set on vehicle
> o Set chokes, one was stretched out so I tweaked it back to the correct
> tension
> o Set idle and mixtures, synched carbs.
> o New fuel lines and filter
> o New fuel line bushing for engine tin over tranny, found perfect bushing
> at hardware store
> o New rubber ends on the balance tube - used 7 mm fuel line hose, fit
perfectly
> o Adjusted clutch pedal free play
> o New shifter bushing in tunnel!
