You made it out of the driveway and past the mailbox. Way more than most can accomplish, after spending far more money and time.

I know. I'm doing it backwards. I should be building a $10K motor and then fixing everything else.

and you're doing all this work without asking first. Sounds like you skipped half a dozen threads.

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that I took the heater box apart and replaced the foam on the blend doors and such, and freed up the vacuum switch so that the selected outlet is the one that works.

It was too hot today to wash the ol' girl before a photoshoot. I gave it a Comet wash and some Turtle Wax last year, and it really helped.

I really like driving it around. Still need to get the headlights working. I have park lights, but no headlights. Also need to: Fix the fuel gauge. I already tested the gauge proper, fixed all the cracked solder joints on the board, and tested the resistor. It's on the other end. Install a fuel gauge for the auxiliary tank. This has one of those retarded '70s add on fuel tanks that is on a common fill with the main tank. PITA. Find the balancer seal and Speed Sleeve that I know I have laying around. Tighten a hose clamp on the trans cooler to stop that leak. Order a steering gear rebuild kit. Fix exhaust leak, but that will require pulling the heads. We all know what a can of worms that can be.

Awesome on so many levels. And just look at the sweet yard sale score in the bed!
