Thanks for invite over this afternoon, Rich.

It was great to meet the local WAZOO team and get a ride in a ZR-1.

I was listening for your car this afternoon...How did it go?

Hey Dave...Welcome to the forum and thanks for coming by and hanging out. Everything came together, had a bit if issue getting the air purged out of the cooling system, but got her started and went for a short drive around the neighborhood. I still have a brake issue to work out. Brake lights staying on, I think the brake booster is not seated against the firewall, will work that this week. Any time you need a hand over there with all those cars, let me know!!

Hi Dave, it was nice to meet you and see your garage and your projects. I hope you will come out to Westminster some time.

Rich, you engine is fabulous. All of the work you did was first class. It was a nice day and I think we got a lot done.

Jim,
Thanks so much for coming out! It's always good having your expertise on site, made everyting look just right!! I went for a short drive yesterday, didn't want to push it until I was sure all the air was purged from the cooling systems. Everything looked good.

Rich, did you sort out the brake lights staying on?

just a fwiw, sometimes if you pull up on the brake pedal it will readjust the switch so they go out. Also, there is a clearance spec in the FSM for the rod from the booster to the M/Cylinder....that doesn't have anything to do with the brake lights but it is an important spec to be observed.

sorry for butting in on your thread.

Tom,
Yeah, I thought maybe I didn't have the booster seated against the FW when I was tightening it down. I started looking at it last night and everything looked OK. So, I contorted my fat a$$ back under the dash and found that while tightening up the booster bolts, I had somehow dislodged both brake switches from the holders and both were pushed back about 1/8 of an inch. The switches are threaded but I was able to push them back to where they needed to be. It concerns me a bit that they dislodged so easily, I may have to replace them at some point. The plastic theads looked stipped to me.
Thanks
Rich
