3:00 am and I’m calling it a night.
The steering box had a small catch in it. Turned out to be a small place on the pitman gear. Luckily, there was a nos gear put back. The grease looked like it came over on the Mayflower. Ordered the seals and found a nos bearing on EBay. The GM assembly manual states the side cover bearing is only offered with the side cover as one unit. All the bearings seem to be fine. Very smooth operation, but going to replace everything I can while it’s apart, as long as they are GM parts.
After blasting the housing and some other pieces, everything is ready to reassemble. I dipped all the steel parts in Metal Rescue. Gives it a pretty good new cast look. Cleaned the aluminum pieces and will flat clear everything when it’s back together.
I also dipped the clutch fork cover modified for the Monza bellhousing. None of this looks perfect, but really like the overall finish of the parts.
