    What did you do to your other vehicle today?

    This other car stuff might seem lame and un important, but I took this shit apart in 99 :D Got the balancer, crank and water pump pulleys installed, and got all the missing hardware figured out. Everything on the front is torqued and not just mocked up anymore.

    What did you do to your other vehicle today?

    Funny you should ask :D It did sort of. And drove. Vortech abused 351W and a C4 trans. Was renting a house I thought I was going to buy so I started a 5.0/ T5 swap in 99. Found a better house and moved. Then got distracted by a bunch of other stuff :D

    New Tool Day

    Turns out its a 1950s Pexto 382-D 3' 22ga. slip roll. I've never seen one this not clapped out. Someone loved it because it was well lubricated. Pulled the gear covers off and there was a fair amount of grease. The drive end of the top roller and retainer on every one I have ever seen was...

    Original Thermostat

    The one you said you don't know what temp it opens at and you are just watching the needle? Did you read mine?

    Original Thermostat

    New Tool Day

    Unintended acquisition. Extremely low mile 3' Pexto slip roll. It was headed for a dumpster and well... I dont have one so 🤷 The only bad part is that I got it on my way out of town and its raining. Best I could do is hose it all down with WD40.

    Rear drum brake question

    That thing you are looking at is the self adjuster. Nothing to do with the parking brake. Parking pawl is an automatic trans thing. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/doing-rear-drum-brakes-a-must-read.1987/

    No power to coil (I think)

    These threads trying to diagnose issues while measuring nothing drive me nuts. Fuel pressure? Voltage somewhere? Continuity to ground? Nopes. "Help me diagnose this thing I replaced a bunch a stuff on just because, and now it still dont run right"
