Filled rad flushed with fresh water for a day with citric acid overnight. Shouldn't get any more crud out right? Hah.

Radiator inlet has to move to driver's side. Yup you can buy that. And adapters to get the old and new hoses to match up. Sadly I forgot the lower hose adapter so I had to make one.

The old radiator inlet is soldered shut with a sacrificial anode installed so I can easily see if the coolant is eating up the system.

The throttle pedal and cable is from a 2004 hemi pickup. It then goes to a position sensor in a box. The A518 needs a throttle signal so it's cable will go into that same box. I hacked the tip off the 2004 pedal and welded it onto the 1979 factory setup. Then I made up a box from steel strap to hold the cable. That box is then screwed to the firewall.

The open binding barrel is machined down a bit to become the pivot for the A518 cable.
