What have you done to your square lately??

When your truck is on the lift and hurricane remnants knock out the power you're at the mercy of the power company as to when you lower it back down.

Cranked mine up two days ago to back it out so I could clean up smy hop.
Cranked it up to pull it back in the shop and it is now making a terrible noise.
I'm guessing dropped, broken valve or rocker arm or all of the above.
Hope I'm wrong.
When I relax & get my info together, I'll call Blueprint.
Engine has 1,600 miles on it and I know it hasn't been over about 3,500 RPMs.

I will be very sad if I have to pull this engine out and/or take the heads off.............

I hate to judge, but the girl on your pinup calendar is a real dog.

Oh, and buy a generator FFS.

Drove the 84 to work today. Nice and cool in the morning but back up in the 90's on the way home. Good Ole Texas weather for ya. Nice to jam the new system with subwoofer box. There was a bit of a break between songs then gobsmack love/hate/sex and pain came on and made me jump. Scared me and I just started laughing at the stop light. People were probably like Wtf. Lol

Took the truck out for coffee and a cruise around town this morning. Found a slow antifreeze leak around the lower radiator hose where it connects to the radiator. Probably from when I couldn’t find a 1.75” hose when I bought the Cold Case rad, and expanded it with a little heat. They had sworn that “some big block trucks used 1 3/4 at both ends” to justify selling a radiator with that size lower outlet- but if they did, they’re obscure or rare. I did find a hose listed that’s obscure that fits that spec for our trucks- the ephemeral Continental 61176, the rest are all 1.5” at the lower rad outlet. We’ll see if is actually that when it arrives. If not, I’ll have to either wrap more hose around the existing hose and clamp it, or fabricate my own with a mid-hose adapter. Oh well, it’s good enough for now and not a major leak, so staying close and keeping an eye on it is fine with me until the hose arrives this week and/or I come up with another permanent fix.

Finally bought a new fuel tank and sending unit. My truck came with an '87 fuel tank (installed by PO) that was meant for fuel injection and has plastic baffles on the bottom. With a normal sending unit, the float comes down until it rests on the baffles like a ship on a reef -- meaning the gauge gets down to 5/8 of a tank and stops there.

(I only figured this out thanks to a forum member who saw a pic looking into the tank and clued me in. Thanks!)

Anyway, I had shopped tanks but the shipping had been outrageous. Jegs had this (and tank straps) with normal shipping costs. Now let's see when I get it installed...; - }

My roommate hauled the several large boxes up the stairs so I bought us a pizza:
