@Gun Runner 5 I don’t think I’ve vacuumed a car out and detailed it since I took my mom’s 1992 Green Chevy Blazer to the prom. In 1994.

Today I got a bunch of little stuff done. Correct AC idler bracket, idler pulley, and belt. even though I had new bolts, I kept the 2006 yellow cad ones. Because vintage and dirty can be cool.

Brake pedal return spring arrived from cruiser parts.

Does anyone know what these two clusters of connectors do? Power windows to driver‘s door?

Antenna. Compared to modern vehicles good God this thing has got to be 4 feet long. I took the left outer fender off to make install easier. Probably didn’t need to.

Windshield washer reservoir. Had to take the battery tray out. I’m sure I don’t have the right connector because nothing matches on the harness. I’ll have to figure out where the washer reservoir is on a 1999-2006. On my 74 series it’s on the passenger fender well. Crap.

Battery hold down and nut. My group 34 battery was too short. So I put in custom riser blocks until a plastic spacer block arrives Friday. Battery is now held snugly.

Fancy. That’s me.

Alternator cap part number just so I don’t lose it. The non-OEM alternator post was too tall so I had to electrical tape this in place. That’s not satisfying, but at least I can’t shock myself.

Hello,

The reservoir is on the passenger side on 1999-2006 trucks.

God$&mn OCD.

Homemade solution worked just fine. But OEM solution was available.
