I'm planning to be there for the morning. I'll get in line for some electrical help.

OK, sounds like a good project.

Steph and the girls will be here, so bring on the little ones. We have a fully fenced back yard, so the we can take the pond out of play. My dog is kind of a dick about his property and the house, so please leave dogs at home; sorry.

Stump should we add broken axle chunk extraction, so you can at least have a fully functional 40 for winter?

 

[Stumpalama]

I hope to have the axle out fro under the truck by then so, sure.

 

[TRFCSUX]

I hope to be attending this as well

I've asked Chris to bring his Motive brake bleeder. I found cloudy floating junk in one reservoir and dark nasty fluid in the other so I'm going to flush the whole system and possibly replace all the soft lines.

Also, does anyone know if I can buy separately the accordion rubber boot off the top of the carb? I think it's on the accelerator pump/plunger? I replaced all my 3mm vacuum lines today and it was the first time I've had the air cleaner off.

Here's my to-do list, might be a little much but I guess we'll see.

Check for vacuum leaks
Set timing and idle (which one first?)
Adjust valves (should I get a new VC gasket?)
Flush out old brake fluid
Replace soft brake lines, bleed brakes.

Stump - Do you have the means to weld a small crack on my exhaust manifold? I assume it's cast iron and have no idea what that means as far as welding it goes.

 

[Stumpalama]

I think cast iron requires preheating and specific cool down protocols. I recommend a professional for that, or finding a non CA manifold to replace the cracked one.

 

[iptman]

Yeah I got a replacement ready to go, just not ready to tackle that project yet.

 

[Stumpalama]

Yes, get a new VC gasket.

 

[TRFCSUX]

i have a coolant leak. i cant find it. i need help !!

 

[Stumpalama]

Can you see it? Is it blowing back from the front or is it down low? Have you checked the oil cooler? It tends to rust out at the top. Outlet area.

 

[OTRAMM]

Steve doesn't like my suggestion of where it could be....

 

[TRFCSUX]

Ryan you can't always be right !!!

 

[Stumpalama]

Steve doesn't like my suggestion of where it could be....

And where would that be?

 

[OTRAMM]

drivers front corner of the head gasket....

 

[Skrewball]

Steve needs a whole lotta $$$ and some vitamin V8!

 

[Stumpalama]

Well, it IS almost Thanksgiving...

drivers front corner of the head gasket....

 

[H2o]

I should be able to make it. I have a solid axle (loose) that would eventually go onto my truck. Could do a rebuild on it. Though may want to pick up some better-than-OEM berfs for it first.

 

[TRFCSUX]

im going to bring the 62 on saturday in hopes that it will be leaking so bad that somebody can find it.

 

[FMF]
