Had appointments today so not much done. I did remove the reservoir attached to the power steering pump, but not having much luck finding a replacement. I can find reservoirs to attach to the pump with a filler cap but not for the remote fill. Anything in the GM parts sites show as discontinued. I contacted Cardone to see if they might have a source. They list a rebuilt pump with integral reservoir for a reasonable price but not the remote fill model. I figured it can’t hurt to ask. I did more cleanup and an acetone wipe of the supercharger. It will get a Massey Ferguson gray paint job. It won’t match anything but not clash badly with the gray/brown stock color. It turns out the two ports I want to plug are sized just right to tap 3/8” npt so they will be repurposed as a vacuum port and a boost port.

Yeah, you don’t want to be there during the summer. I made this a driving tour for the Reatta, putting it to the test after finally solving the EO42 issue. Went to Daniel Island, Sullivan’s Island and across the big bridge into Charleston where I stayed for the night. The car performed like a champ both on the highway and in the city. It was 80 degrees that day and this morning it was 23 degrees…
