Good luck and good to see you on here again.

Best way to find leaks in my opinion is for you to sit in the van while someone squirts down the outside with a garden hose. That way you can see where the water is coming in. I vote windshield gasket or front door gasket.

It has two cracks in the windshield that I was just going to fill but if it will fix the leak I'll just replace it.
Put the new vacuum switch in today and a new breather filter - which I didn't even know existed until yesterday when I was wondering what that black dripping thing in my air filter pan was.
Today I'm also considering ordering new gas tanks and straps. I'm running out of time on getting this thing trip worthy. I have a month before I'm supposed to be on the road.
**Edit - Nevermind I just read closer and saw you said to ask them to reseal it.

Can anyone tell me how to go about shortening plug wires?
you can buy wire sets that you can cut to length and put ends on, should be able to pick them at any parts store that sells performance stuff.
