Re: [DMCForum] Engine crank...SHE START!!! HAHAHAHAHAH

[DMC Erik <dmcerik@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tightend the bolt down just a fuzz more and it fixed my leak.  My goal is to have the thing driving by next tuesday.  The next main thing to do is to get a front, and possibly a rear end alignment.  Then...off to the A/C shop to get my system charged.  Can't wait!  Its been a long time coming.
My neighbore saw me jumping up and down after it started and came over to see what was going on.  We toasted with a couple of beers.

Hey Erik,

Yes...this is correct...and make sure that the connection is tight...I 
managed to find a fuel filter that didn't allow the banjo bolt to screw 
all the way down...so I had to add a second crush washer....just make 
sure the connection is tight and you can't move it around.

Good luck, and congrats!!
