• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Help asap!

almost done with engine swap its coming along well!!! bottom line is we are stuck n the power steering pump and lines are being a pain in the a55. is there a easy way of doing this i have 2 people including myself working on this after we install the pump all we have to do is the alt bracket alternator a few connectors and then add fluids!!! SHE WILL LIVE TODAY! is there any hints or tips to doing this its not lining up and the hoses are sorta binding or something its a big pain in the a55. all help is appreciated thank you!
 


hand thread them in and tighten it down, there is only one hard connection lol

When you gonna come off those damn heads?
 


when i took my pump off i jacked up the car and took the passenger wheel off. made the bottom bolt much easier to get it
 
Joe.. one thing to keep in mind is if the motor is sitting back (no dogbones connected) the angles will be off and it may be tougher.
 


another thing to keep in mind is stop being a woman. if the power steering pump is the only thing holding you back then you clearly have no idea how to work on a car.
