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! :)
