What have you done to your square lately??

[TotalyHucked]

Was gonna say, I'd probably at least wait a few days if not a week. I'm no bodyman but it needs to be decently hard before sanding

Looks like that will be the plan. Need to paint the bed tomorrow. Back to work on Wednesday. Will be next Sunday or Monday before I can get back to any sanding anyway. Also need some supplies. Thanks.

So I cleaned the 42 year old gunk from the bulk head and added fresh dielectric grease and they are back in action

Over the weekend, I replaced the ignition module with a Napa Echlin, since I’d read here many times that aftermarket “high output “ were junk. Figured I’d put the aftermarket one in the glovebox and put the other one in since I’d heard so many good things.

Then I descended into the 7th circle of ignition hell.

Occasional misses. Hmmm. Ok, the carbon button was looking ragged, so I replaced that and the rotor since the coil pickup tab was a little tweaked. Seemed to be ok.

Then it wouldn’t start at all. Too much heat paste splooged onto the pickup wheel points. So I cleaned everything up with some CRC lectra-motive and put everything back together. Seemed…ok. I sensed an occasional stumble.

Stopped at my buddy’s house for a minute. Started her up, and ignition was immediately on and off again, but this time shut off altogether. Wiggled the plugs, no improvement.

Got the tools out and the old ignition module, double checked everything. Fired right up and running strong. Drove all the way home, no stumble or shut off. The only constant factor is the ignition module. Guess I’ll try to find another backup module.

Unfortunately it seems ignition modules are hit or miss these days, no matter the brand. Sadly enough

First bath and a quick coat of wax. Tightened up the last few bits and pieces to go back on, stuck the Chevrolet emblem to the rear door (Glad that came off the old door ok. Apparently nobody reproduces that emblem) and it's officially back on the road! Well, at least it made it to the gas station and back. lol She's no beauty queen, because a painter I am NOT...... but still turns some heads. Wife should be happy, since it hasn't been in once piece since October. lol

Pulled the rear tires and cleaned up the rims a bit and shot some Winter Gray on them. Tossed the polished up centers on them. Now just have to find some beauty rings...

Hahaha Thanks. It looks GREAT from 20ft. First time painting a vehicle for me..... but good enough. Wife is happy, so I'll deal with it. lol

 

[Johnny Atomic]

Tried it both ways with no luck. Wacked it as hard as I dared lol. Gonna take it back to Orielly's and hope it's still under warranty

If you are returning it I might not mentioned you were beating it with a hammer.

Ran to the bank and to some stores to grab some stuff for trailer
