What have you done to your square lately??

I'm disappointed. No mention of the license plate here

An exclusive close up just for you, sir!

Surprise yesterday. Showing off my truck "ralph" for my friend and opened the hood. Saw water under the radiator, on the shelf below the radiator. Odd. Went to take a look, and the lower hose was sliding off the lower hose outlet at bottom of the radiator. Reached down and it was barely on... Pushed back on and re-clamped it, added coolant and water. If I wasn't showing my buddy the truck, she would have lost all coolant very soon and left me stranded some distance from home. Whew. Gonna keep a close eye on that.

New gaskets and TBI hardware finally came in an the TBI was rebuilt, solid this time around with no leaks. The injectors were spraying very healthily. The truck revvved up great in the driveway. On the test run it started out with some sputtering and hopes were that it would work out. About 1/4 mile away from the house all power gone, truck died. During an attempt to jump, the fuel pump made no noise at all when ignition was put in on position. Watched it get loaded up, and followed it to the garage. Hopefully what it really needs to run healthy again is in the near future.

Hauled the new shower kit home from the hardware store - because who wants to work on their truck when they could be doing renovations in the house...

I’ll check it out!

Today was a challenge. So, the torque converter was a “bolt through “ design meaning there’s no threads in the converter mounting pads, you have to put nuts on the other side to clamp it down.

But wait there’s more! The holes for the most part in the flex plate are 3/8, and the torque converter holes are 7/16. So after talking to the transmission shop (that had no good answers), I found the inner bolt circle patter would all accept 7/16 but one, and I just had to take a wrench and thread it through the flexplate without too much difficulty.

For a minute there I thought I was going to have to drop the transmission again and get a different one. But a trip to Hardware Sales (awesome resource) and I had some Grade 8 hardware in hand. I could spend all day there.

The torque converter is bolted down and the dust shield on. Next up is the linkage but that will wait until my next day off.

I’m going to take it to the tag office this week and ask for a replacement but I’m betting they’re going to bill me for it.

I went by your tent as you were packing up on Saturday. Got me a freebie book though. I spied out the Fairlane a bit also.

Aw man, I hate I missed ya! I actually wasn't working this weekend, was just there for fun but did stop by the tent a few times. That was my first time at RTTS, I think we'll be back. That was a good one
