I found some time a couple of evenings this week to get the rest of the column assembled and the steering wheel back on. Good thing is the turn signals and horn still work
(It didn't start out that way, lol)
This steering column thing was way out of my comfort zone so I'm glad to have that behind me now. During testing to make sure all of the lights functioned properly (brake/turn signals, etc.) I found another issue though......the brake pedal went to the floor - no fluid in the master, so I obvioulsy have a leak to track down. I think one of the fittings at the frame under the master cylinder may be the culprit as there were no other apparent locations of leaks when I looked under the car. Two steps forward and one step back seems to be the recurring theme here.........ugh.
Hoping the carbs show up as that is the last big item to complete. The voltage regulator is still a couple weeks out and the repro DC-12 battery won't be available until September-ish.
Keep chugging along........it will eventually get done.
