I bought Mark's cables as well. One of my grounds was missing and another was in horrible shape.

Cause lots of money? Or like George Costanza’s wallet?

For me I was chasing some “previous owner” gremlins as I reassemble this engine. So having fresh start with some quality ground and battery cables was worth the effort. Any older vehicle has a potential for the wiring to go tits up, corrosion or...

Folks it’s time to upgrade your battery cable system… Any landcruiser I acquire, gets a set of “Mark’s Girthy Cables”, and yesterday my FZJ80 got a feel for Mark’s girth. Come along for the install, see the girth for yourselves as I compare them...

I'll go for a walk this afternoon.

It’s this pump, but the 2013 models may have the newer style… I learned

Ben, I live next to pick n pull Windsor, if you shoot me what you are looking for I can run thru and see ?

Swing and a miss today at the junkyard. To continue the power steering drama I stopped by our local u-pull-it to snag a Volvo electric power steering pump. Didn’t find the exact one, but learned a lot.

I think you are your toughest critic... Not perfect, but you're out there doing it... Grind a little off and try, try again... :) Love the videos Ben!

Those test welds on the angle sat on top because you did not grind or flapper disc it until it was silver, if it is not silver you are not ready to weld.

Slow the wire down a bit and quit moving the tip so much, go slower, focus on the point where wire tip meets material, stare at the arc until you can see the arc puddle, if its buidling up on top before it burns in you may need hotter welder...

Peer pressure in this community is real. I’ll probably start using cigarettes next… Added some sleeves for the Saginaw box mounts. Tried welding, found out I’m not perfect. Plenty of jokes. Watch and criticize.

Electric ?

Available at junkyards, or parts stores… with a wiring kit you can adjust psi…

Oh the pump… that’s going to be something different…

TC? It’s an electronic injection, external, non internal like the newer model.

The VW should have a TC style pump on it ?

This ALH should be a decent powerhouse. Going with a larger turbo, and injectors, plus tune… should see 140hp and 230Tq which is plenty for the size and weight I’m running. I need to piece together the rest of the power steering parts for sure...

Thats good news. Now has anyone told you to mount the steering shaft to the nose of box before bolting box up as the fitting ends up right inside frame box where you can not tighten the set screw on the little ujoint. The steering shaft may be...

Man I managed to get it fixed but I appreciate it. It was a PIA though. Had to go in from behind, which meant filing down the box a bit so the stupid thread Chase could line up straight. And since the piece I bought to chase it was so long, I had...

Did you find a tap to chase the buggared threads? Mama was pretty punchy this video!

Since it seems you still have some good threads in the hole of the PS gear box a thread chaser will likely make a useable repair. If you don't already have a set I found this video of a comparison between several sets including a tap and die set.

Put a nut on the back if it will fit or if its FUBAR I got a new steering box in windsor you can have.

These are entertaining videos. Your wife is a hoot.
