How you gonna do the exhaust with one hand?

The exhaust will be easy compared to putting the struts in this
car, which I accomplished today. I may still have the girl tack
it while I hold the pipe where I want it...

Ok I don't know what the hell is going on. I put the car on the
stands to do the steering but now it won't fucking start! Its
fired a couple times but didn't run at all... I'm getting
pissed!

So in an effort to make starting the car easier I decided the
stock vacuum canister had to go. I found an old wastegate
actuator and decided it would fit the bill.
Here is what I came up with:

My thought process here is that I have the vac advance hooked
to manifold vac, so it is advanced at idle and retarded at
boost. Well up until now the engine was fighting to pull vac
while starting to get the timing right to fire up and a lot of
times it floods itself from having to try multiple times. This
particular wategate actuator has a very very light spring so it
rests in the advance position (i.e. timed for idle) so starting
should be easier, I hope. I haven't been able to test it
thoroughly because as luck would have it I went and let the
smoke out of my starter on the first turn of the key after
installing it (I think its been going bad for a while, and may
very well have been part of my problem.) So today the new
starter goes in and we'll see what happens...

Lmao! Many years of being too broke to buy parts makes you come
up with creative solutions...
Got the new starter put in and now she starts right up. Dialed
in the tuning a bit and went for a test drive, just then tragedy
struck and I blew a brake line. Ok maybe not tragedy but one
more thing I have to fix before Thursday...
