What have you done to your square lately??

[Camar068]

Still working on getting her running after the LS locked up.

Anyway, today I got under it to put the torque converter bolts in with washers (4l60e).....man what PITA!! Without the washers its easy. You need about 4 more fingers on one hand lol.

Can't tell you how many times I dropped the washer. Finally I got a long screwdriver with a magnet on the end holding the bolt. Get the washer in place, then fish up the bolt. Of course my magnet was pretty strong so the bolt kept grabbing the block and turning, but it was a lot more manageable than trying to do it with one hand.

Tearing down the motor, getting it ready for when my dad comes over to tag team it. In the meantime, cleaning up the engine bay and wiring. Prepping for paint and tidying it up, finally.

Finally finished with the sniper on my 292. Working on best A/F mix and idle speed.

On the A/F if you haven't download the software an enable the 2D table. It will run better but you have to tune that through the software, once you enable the larger table it isn't available for changes on the handheld.

Did you do any other enhancements to the 292 like lump ports in the heads? I'm curious to hear how you like the Sniper on that 6.

 

[dbush]

No enhancements, everything is stock. It is my daily driver so I will keep you posted on how I like it.

So no joy at all. GRRRRRRRR! I got the 4 person full on chinese inspection. Hood up, tape measure out, mirror on wheels to look at the underneath. Meanwhile the mustang on my left would not stay running due to the low idle and aggressive cam. The bro dozer on the right had a bumper that was above my waist with tires out past all four corners. They both passed. I failed for window tint at 10% and no cat. Go figure. And they wonder why I prefer the Pirate life. lol

That s ucks….
You could always just throw another tag on it with a current year sticker….not that I’ve ever done that…..
But window tint and missing major emissions components in a state that does inspections are just too easy of a target. Although in reality they were probably just jealous of your truck….

Looks great! I love the ‘75-‘76 Grille

 

[SDJunkMan]

Had to replace a U joint on the CUCV. Picked up a vibration after plowing snow last week, though it was just the snow and ice built up in the wheels throwing them out of balance. After it warmed up and the snow melted it was still there, then clunked when I put it in gear. Parked it right away, lucky it didn’t throw the driveshaft.

I’d roll the windows down and then disconnect them, lol. Don’t think 4 season weather protection is a law…Tint? What tint?

 

[TotalyHucked]

I think I finally got the electrical problem fixed, so I drove it all weekend. Put 3 tanks through it, felt good to drive it again

I went and visited the big fella the other day.
When Max brought home the '49 something had to go into storage and the squarebody was the one to be put away.
We needed to drop some of his "accumulations" off for storage and tried to start it.
No luck as it was being stubborn and jump starting it wasn't working.
It needs a new battery and possibly a new starter as well...
So we tucked it back in and closed the door again.
One of these days one of @Maxwellvis three vehicles will go in there and mine will come home.

The square makes the 3100 look tiny in comparison....

Now the big feller is home again.
Max took his bug and placed it into the storage unit.
To do so, he had to swap out the starter with another one we have here as a spare.
Those GMT400 mini starters are awesome!

It turned over much better, but still needed a new battery.
As the one that was in it was a core return from when Max was working at the auto parts store.

Costco to the rescue as even with a buddies discount at the Auto Zone, Costco was over $100 cheaper for the same battery.

Now it turns over like crazy and is sitting in the drive way again.
All that is in the drive way are five Chevy vehicles.
