Should have drilled your holes first, makes it easier on the body work because it might crack the bondo when you drill it then you have to fill the holes


You were 100% correct
I will be redoing the project
DAMN!!!
Any suggestions on how to do what I'm trying accomplish???

I actually drilled my holes before even cutting them to size and welding them in, hammered them flat on an anvil, then marked where to cut, barely a overhang so there is some give with welding, then bondo, sand, prime, paint.
I'll be home this weekend and gives me a reason to finish up the three I got
I'll write a thread on it, hopefully I can sell them once I'm done

Did my pre winter tune up: Plugs, Cap & Rotor, Oil change and spray down the carb.

I have put off the cap & rotor for way too long so I finally decided to replace them. I found that there was a slight oily residue all over the electronics, reluctor and springs. So I used Carb cleaner and sprayed it all down a couple of times. each time blowing it all out with the compressor. after 4 times it looked pretty good. So then I carried on with the tune up. Had to reinstall the coil twice because the first time I forgot to install the ground strap in the new cap :whymewhyme: lol I wasn't all that amused at the time though lol.

But holy crap she runs so much better! :) Not sure if it was from actually cleaning the distributor or from having a new cap & rotor? maybe its a bit of both. New plugs always help too.

Not even kidding I bet I have at least a 20% increase in power. Its funny cause I was thinking about swapping out Distributors cause I was starting to think that the Ignition Module was starting to fail. I still may swap it if that oily residue returns :Insane:

Anyways she runs way better and I am glad I finally got around to tuning it up.

Not a bad job, but always seems to be one of the greasiest, lol.

It's a LONG story but that thing fought me due to the new pumps I bought being bad out the box. It's been a long week and yes a greasy one (giggity) :party36:

I've had my fill of power steering pumps for a while. LOL

Bummer! It really seems like the power steering pumps are hit or miss (mostly miss). I must've been lucky with mine, my initial replacement was good and still going strong 2 years later. Swapping the pulley is a bit of a pain though.

Finally figured out the pulling to the right when braking! Only took 5000miles to get around to it. Went out to just rotate tires and decided to adjust my drums.......drivers side was frozen. Some heat and lube (silglyde) and a few good stops going backwards and my truck stops straight now! Gonna have to relearn how to drive it because I am so used to pressing the brake and turning the wheel left...
