What new tools have you got lately?

Air speed tester for finding out what these cooling fans are actually putting out.
Pretty nifty little doo dad for $30 on the Amazon.

Before we get to far with the new radiator in the Camaro, we wanted to know if there was any deeper issues.
So I found this little combustion tester as well on the Amazon for $21 and it will do 50 or so tests.
More than I will need to use hopefully...

That way we will know if the heads are leaking into the coolant before we put the new rad and water pump in.
Only have to take it apart the one time hopefully this way.

Is that the equivalent to the ones you get at parts stores? With the cylinder, the squeeze bulb and the blue fluid?

The impala trunk smells like China….aluminum 2 ton floor jack, riveter, ferrel nut riveter and a hvlp paint gun.

Yuss.
I totally didn't take photos of it yesterday.
Here we are.
The video on Amazon seemed to make it look super easy to check with.

Picked up a Greenerd #3 arbor press for $20, someone cut up where the daisy wheel would go and missing handle, a Craftsman vise (made by Reed) and another sad vise for $5 each at the event I attended last weekend.

They all need some love and tlc but for those prices I got some room to work on them.
