Subject:      moreandmore questions of my 75 westy..

first and formost: how do i change out the ignition switch? just the electrical end..'cause PO burned it up, and i dont wanna have to run little switches..

oh, i got the carb installed..after 4-6 hrs getting the manifold togethor on the car, w/ all boots connected to..<mostyly due to already sore hands...>

still cannot get engine compartment oor to stay closed...

and, while removing the old fule line system, i noticed that off the main line there was a smaller <around 1/8" I.D.> line sprouting off and going to yet another fuel pump. this line then headed for the big contraption that the heater boxes seem to should be conected to. all kinds of lovel wires all round too..

completely striped the interior, bed, fridge sink..all of it..had to ge rid of the ants in the carpet..of course, the ones in the headliner..what bugbomb is recommended for us rehabiliatedyardbus owners?

anyway, the floor is not TO bad..just a little rough around the edges, as in, all the rust is there. should i just cut away the rust and 'glass it in, or would it be best to pay someone to weld something in?

of course, i now have to figure out which of those hundreds of leftover wires is the one that hooks t the oil pressure sender..

there is more, but i cant quite remeber it now...thanks!
