I fully intended to convert the truck to TBI using MegaSquirt over Christmas. But that dang "family commitment" thing keeps getting in the way.
I cast an adapter with my Metalwork class, and this is a Holley TBI body I got off ebay. It came with 4.3L injectors (and rumour is Holley Injectors aren't all that great), but I had already bought a junkyard TBI for a 350, so I Frankensteined the GM pod onto the Holley base.

Then details to the swap were hindered by things like "Christmas Hours" and "I didn't plan this through all the way," and it does not look like this will be done over the break. While yes, I ~could~ ~probably~ get it done, but it's better to just stand down, and do a more thorough job of the swap.
Then, while I was fueling up (I'm always fueling up), I noticed a crack where there used to be a large bubble on the wheel arch. Like a fool, I picked at it, and a large chunk of Bondo fell out.
So the other day, I fired up the orbital, and chased that and one other super wee crack. When I first picked up the box, there were cracks behind the wheels - I had a kid chase the crack and see how far it went. Apparently it went REALLY far, and there was a LOT of Bondo in there. So we just mixed up a resale-size bucket of filler, and put it all back. These were new cracks.

It's like a giant Gob Stopper of sedimentary Bondo layers. And close to
5/8" thick in places.
Wheel arches had been replaced some someone, but very very badly done. There are so many defects, so much filler, and so much rust, I'm not going to do anything about it.
Except slap some more in there.

And then rolled on a couple more layers of Tremclad. Not even thinned. Straight from the can. Like a boss.

Me, not so much either.
