Day 13 - Cleaning the engine compartment.

So, engine might be removed but I still need to keep a good pace on the project to get it completed as soon as possible. ;) I went out for an hour today and started removing some components from the engine compartment. I think this stuff wont find its way back to my vehicle, I should do without because of the new components I am planning to add to the engine. Also, before 1976 in Sweden emissions wasn't that controlled, therefore I can remove the EGR system. My mindset is pretty much to eliminate as many sources of failure as possible.

This is the electronic ignition controller. Two bolts secure it.

The voltage regulator(2 bolts) and ballast resistor(1 bolt).

Close up of ballast resistor and cables.

Removing fuel pump by pulling the hoses.

Time to move on to the electric cables. Removed all clips attaching
it to the cowl in order to pull it out.

Somehow this does not look original, attached to the cowl just
above the power brake booster... Two bolts.

Removed the charcoal canister, 2 bolts on each side.

Cables starting to come out...

Nice and clean. A few hours more will help me get rid of all
components from engine compartment to make it ready for
some welding, sandblasting and paint.

Bagged and tagged, voltage regulator, EGR time delay controller,
electronic ignition controller and ballast resistor.

That's all for today friends. I'll see if I can get out tomorrow and continue the project.
Admit I am getting there! :)
