About as long as it takes to get the right part.

 

what's this silliness about?

go on pepboys.com, find the spectra radiator, cross reference it, find it on Jcwhitney.com, order it, install it, done.
wish i could remember the part #

 

need to buy belts.
asuming i am off friday, will try to button up the engine friday.

brandon, you have to drill that hole. it hates me. we will grind the flange nice and hook up the exhaust....if i don't already do it on friday.

need to check on that torque wrench....said it would be $100 to rent it....need it for about 30 seconds.

 

Hey, ..... Logan, .... do you have the radiator like me that the lower pipe inlet is 4" over from the corner, unlike 95% of them? I have a place for OEM+ Quality ones. Not cheap... but I'm happy with mine, lol.

 

Geezus Jerry buy a HF torque wrench. I had mine professionally calibrated after four years of use and was at 1% tolerance...

Thanks Chef! Nah mine is not offset like yours. I ordered another one but Ill let you know!

 

You guys are getting close. I will be keeping an eye on the computer this weekend. Hoping for the best for ya. Its always nervous and exciting.

 

List of things to do today:

NEED TO DO:
kiddo to appointment about 915 (conveniently where I work)..18 miles thataway
Auto-Zone, buy belts(same area)
drive about 30 miles in the other direction to pay wife's truck payment
drive additional several miles to Harbor Freight (MAYBE....and ONLY if I find a coupon)


now that's a nice simple list....right?
problem is, work has been calling me since 520am......4 times. didn't answer the phone once.....need help covering a call-in. PROBLEM: I will be there with my kids and not for work-purposes.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR....this is how having this position means NEVER truly being detached from work.

I will try to save face by offering myself while I am there, for the time I am there

 

BRANDON...

if I can get that hole drilled today, I will.

things that NEED to be done to this motor is a quite short list. with your help we could knock them off. This is the point where I would rather have someone looking over my shoulder too. If you are free tomorrow, seems like it just MAY happen tomorrow.

I am sure the excitment is building. This has come along way from when you first got it. Great job.

 

Yeah i should be free tommorow, tonight is out as i have been dealing with a-hole cops about an illegally parked truck in my cousins driveway hindering me from cleaning up the property and removing some stuff that my mom is taking.

 

i'm giggly like a school girl.

OK...no I'm not.

hehehehhee

yeh...i've seen your posts....not surprised by any of it.

ESCAPED from work, headed to auto-zone, wouldn't ya know it? had to put a burning building between me and auto zone, so had to abort the mission.

home to change.....had to get some pics of the fire and heading to Harbor Freight. have a 20% coupon in the ad that was sitting in my garage.

PROGRESS MADE.......0%
AGGRAVATION.........100%

 

Done yet?

Oh, order a radiator from Autozone..... We will see.

 

home.

torque wrench...minus 20%, minus $25 gift card = got it

and belts.

Brandon......need a 3/4'' to 1/2'' adapter....forgot that.

 

here's what was blocking our progress this morning







and here's a pic a manly-man torque wrench

 

belts ON.

aaaaaand, that's as far as we get right now. gonna take a run to get that adapter. I know Brandon is having personal issues right now, so I understand man.

Yup Jerry i was gonna suggest that, lock it in 5th and 4lo set the ebrake and block it. if that don't work someone can stand on the brake while the other stands on the torque wrench.

 

hey...i got an adapter (3/4 to 1/2'')....so don't worry about finding one

 

I had one of those I think, it's for my hub socket.
