Thanks guys - great to have some feedback, especially when it doesn't feel like I've been making much progress lately. More than happy to drink beer with any Darksider - in Oz or in the US! (I've got 3 trips to the USA next year).

I ordered more new bits, too: 150 amp alternator, armrest pads, hi-flow oil pump, Edelbrock mech fuel pump, engine mounts, engine mount bolts, transmission mount (for TH400), air cleaner assembly (ribbed for her pleasure), front wheel bearing kit.

Given it's the 22nd of Dec here I doubt I'll see these bits until probably 6-10 January. Our postage service is worthless in Oz
