 Yes the axle shaft did get replaced Delta bailed me out in that area of disgrace. While I was at it the rear axle got pulled and I welded up the radius arm mounting brackets that are all apart of the unibody construction. Then as the rear drum brake was bent I pitched the drums and replaced the entire rear brake assembly with Honda CRX disk rotors and calipers which have the hand brake cable as part of the caliper. As the CRX uses 13 inch wheels the caliper and rotor are a great fit and can be used with the OEM Jensen wheels when you are in a pinch for a spare. The hand brake works a charm with this set-up.

11602 is running 45DCOE9 (that came off an Alpha Spider and had that cars OEM jetting in them when I got 11602, it was getting 9 MPG).
Since October of 2017 the jetting is as follows:
Chokes: 36
Idle Jet: 55f8
Pump Jet: 45
Emulsion Tube: F2
Air Corrector: 180
Main Jet: 140
Float Height 8.5 mm

Since the SU Fuel Pump got installed shortly there after the mileage hovers around 15 MPG.
The Odometer is 88,911 as of Jan 2020 but driving has tapered off over the last year or so as I have been getting a 91 4Runner sorted out after sending my 96 Range Rover to the scrap heap on a flatbed with a load of good riddens!

What else the Chinese $15 air horn quit working so I replaced it with a pair or Hella Supertone horns that blaze away at 200 & 400 Hz and produce a shocking loud noise. Merry Christmas 11602.

The Yokohama Advan Enovia 205/50-R15's are pretty much wasted at this point. Dang 88,911 - 70,000 = 18,911 miles for 180 treadwear rated tires is really pretty good, all things considered.

The VDO's for the oil pressure and the voltage are a nice improvement over the old Smiths. The Oil pressure is a large sweep gage that covers most of 270°. Cold engine 70-80 PSI then when its warmed up idles with 20 to 40 PSI at 1000 RPM. Any less than 800 and the alternator has difficulty with headlights and cooling fans running together. Keeping the voltage above 12 volts is often not the case when the idle setting has drifted off to 800 RPM.

I put the Koni's back on for AutoCross for the last part of 2017 but haven't done any for 2018. It was a bad year for taxes was 2018. So for all of the last two years I have been running the Koni's at full damp on rebound minus maybe a 1/2 turn or less at the rear but full rebound damp on the front. The ride is abundant with road feel shall we say!
