Got Al over here to put the windshield back in the crate, the last thing he
wanted to see was another T3 but he fit the elephant in the mousehole with
the 71 so he's talented and knows the T3.  One thing that I noticed was that
he only used glass cleaner foam spray to lube the seal, didn't make a mess
but he wasnt into the GoJo idea. It didn't want to go in when starting at
the bottom and working up, but when starting at the top and working down it
fit much better and even though it had a chip on the lower edge he got it in
without breaking it!

What a relief!  Those new repro seals SUCK!  The rubber is too think,
doesn't flex well and just doesn't seat in nicely,  Not to mention what it
will probably look like in another year or 2.

Got the steering column back in, starts with the ignition switch again. been
a month or so and it wont idle again!  Guess its time to pull the tops off
the carbs and clean them out AGAIN!  So much for the fuel filter..
