Mr. Chiperstein... wake up.. get to it.

I hear day three startup calling your name. And that ain't happening if you don't get working!

New fuel pump ordered, along with a new fuel level sensor and rewire.

Text update from ScottyMcChiperson..

Crank bolt fight is over, he has put two coats of paint on the SC and headers. Waiting on breakfast then it's on to swap the valve springs and pullies.

Based on my current estimations... he's starting it up either at midnight or tomorrow.

Header paint? Sheesh, how much JD yellow you buy SD? :p
Ya know header paint should cure for at least 7 days or else you will just burn it off in 5 minutes. Might as well slow down and enjoy your breakfast now.

I source relay boxes from all over the junkyard all the time. Taurus's and early 90s T-birds are awesome. The Taurus relay box I'm going to use for the windows, I combined 2 of them into one so I have 8 relays in one box:

A lot of my wheeling buddy's use those boxes; they are hard to find around these parts.

You bet. I ripped it all out when I got rid of her. Re-installed in the F-250 a few years later, then sold it.

Took the truck in for a caliper replacement, got a call it needs rear u joints, RF ball joint, lower trans cooler line, both seals where the axles go in the front diff, and an exhaust manifold stud that randomly left.

Oh joy

Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

A while back I was hearing this weird clunk and momentary vibration when first accelerating after it sat for a while. Now I'm hearing that same noise any time I go from drive to reverse. Guess I'm gonna need to do motor mounts this summer, along with the oil pan gasket since that leak will kill a new mount.
Also I charged my ac, and it was ice cold. Now its just cool until I've been driving for like 10 minutes it starts to get cold...

Let my wife drive it to work today. That way when I get in the trims will be settled and I can get some good logs. That's thinkin' ahead.
