That one gets alot of people, 14lb's you hit that really fast with a not very long ractchet bar.
I know you already ordered a new one but in the future. Bust out the dremel with a diamond bit and cut a flat head slot in it and they tend to come right out. Last one I did actually vibrated out from the dremel so i just kept pushing on one side and worked it out that way. If the break off deep enough you can just zip a shorter bolt in on top of the broken one.
Don't forget to fill that leaky PITA up with rtv around the upper threads on the bolt. Yeah I really hate that hole, it's the old love hate thing, I hate leaks and it loves to leak there when the oil puddles up.

has anyone ever bought a timing cover from ted? If so does it come with the bolts or do I have to use my old ones? And one more Question for you guys. Can I put the intake on with the timing cover off? stupid question but I'm bored until the cover is replaced
Also took her top off......
Pictures to follow. I rednecked up a bikini/shade top from a burlap sheet I had laying around. Looks decent. When I bought the truck the back window didn't work. The PO had a wire running from the tailgate to the battery. It's pretty sketchy but it gets the job done. She told me that the window relay was broken. So I pulled the rear panel apart as well as the relay. Everything looked good from what I can tell, I've never seen a broken one so I wouldn't really know. But when removing the top I noticed the bolts weren't in the correct places. I think she put a too long bolt in the pressure switch. Does anyone know how to fix this or where to get another one?

I ordered Ted's timing kit, including the cover and it did not come with any bolts. As kornhusker stated, if the head is in place, should be no problems on the intake. I did the whole timing set without touching the intake or exhaust. Just removed the radiator and oil pan.

No i dont beleive the bolts come with teds timing cover, make sure all the cover bolts are correct length for the corresponding hole. As for installing intake, is your head still on?? Im assuming it is. If so i dont see why the intake couldnt be installed. Also when you get to that point tightening a fastener where your like... its gonna snap... then stop. just fyi from past experience.
but in the meet time I did get these today

Dont let a hillbilly hook chains to those factory tow hooks ive seenem pull out (to a not so hook fashion) Never seen one snap though. I prefer nylon slings for towstraps, and shackles.

as for the lights I had just got done talking to my dad about how this summer I'm gonna dig through some garage sales to see if I can find parts for my truck. I went to buy the tow hooks from this guy down the road from me and he had the lights
also had some 4.37-4.10 gears and pinions for 20 bucks. gonna go back for those all in all he was a really cool guy who loved toyotas. he had a sweet '89 runner SAS and bobbed on 40's the thing was sick!

Well It's just about payday and I found this http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/pts/3742747215.html
for a $150 bones It's pretty tempting. Is the '84 axle the same as the '85?

The way I understand it the 84 nd 85 are the same. It is the 83 and earlier that do not have some brackets or mounts of some sort. That is a good price for an axle.

speed bumps....
Well I've hit a few speed bumps... First the timing cover cracked 
then came installing the intake and exhaust manifolds. I then realized that I'm missing a few studs. and by a few I mean all of them but like 4 
so come friday I'll be placing an order for new intake and exhaust studs from LCEperformance and a timing cover from engnbldr.
now to just photos of the truck.
I'm in love with the no top
The shade top I rednecked. Don't really like it but I was incredibly bored so there you have it.
after the head was installed
and dual tow hooks
does anyone want to buy some tow hooks
So that's where I'm at right now. Unfortunately I'm stuck until parts are ordered and delivered. Anyone got any ideas of thing I can do?

I wish the truck already had one underneath so I wouldn't have to even think about it. But oh well. Thanks for all the stuff you post in my thread, I appreciate it.
