That fixed the leak! Two new washers on the rear banjo bolt fitting on the oil filter canister. I took the old bolt out, very little oil dripped out. Put the washer on, pushed the hollow bolt through the banjo fitting and put the other washer on and cranked it down. No more oil leak!

The tach still isn't working but I haven't looked into it. I will probably start by swapping the sensor at the crank from the old engine to the new one.

And I still haven't found where to plug the extra vacuum line in so I have to shut it off by hand under the hood.

I'm doing a coolant flush right now and will get the good stuff in tonight.

I just drove it 40 miles and no problems other than a shutter. I'm due for new tires, so I'm going to get some put on tomorrow morning.
We're going on a 300 mile road trip this weekend. Just in time!
I'm really excited to get it back on the road.
