Chadley needs some things moved around, he's checking some stuff for me this week. Hoping I can do it this coming weekend. I've got plans the 14th and 15th, then one more weekend before things get crazy for me for 8 weeks.

Those trucks remind me I'll soon have a headache rack. I don't think I want high forward facing lights behind the cab though

Ran the valves on this last night. One was a little loose, no issues found. They were not the source of the once per revolution tick that's developed.

Runs like a top. Didn't oil the front of the trailer in 40-50 miles to Lake Rd & back to pick up Was White. So that was probably the vacuum line that came off and let it pressurize the crank case. Not near as much load as running I90 with an NPR on the goose though.

Forgot to mention, for the second or third time, I REALLY missed 4x4. If the Big Bore wasn't there, the trailer might still be. Once the car was loaded, I pretty much couldn't move it.

With the wet slushy situation, I'm not sure 4x4 even would have gotten me out of the yard but I bet I at least could have turned around without more dragging.

Tire chains go back on my list.

I'm thinking the same.

It's going on a trip this weekend and probably next. Filangies crossed. Oil pressure is still fine.

I'd be happier if I had an engine on a stand to drop in it. I think if it makes it the next two weekends I'll be looking at a bottom end rebuild :(
Or a parts truck. These 12v trucks going for 3-4k are getting intriguing.


Fucking thing.
