Did you ever get your charcoal canister replaced?? How do you tell the one you have is bad? Why can't you use a coffee can with briquets in it and save for the BBQ?

I figured mine was toast because of the amount of tank pressure and at altitude fuel was boiling off in the tank. I changed it out with the GM cheapo the day before the bacon run and had no pressure problems up there at all

Just wait for the mining claim. That will prove the success.

Do you have a shroud?

 

[EMOTHUG]

Must have used an SOS pad on that thing!! Glad you could use it.

I did clean it up and paint it. Wanted to make sure the plastic wasn't rotting

 

[EMOTHUG]

@Kief I have one from either a jeep or Chevy I'm playing with to see which one I can get to fit better. I'm not sure if an OEM would fit any better with the aluminum radiator. I was just running out of time and had to drive it to work this morning

 

[EMOTHUG]

Will finish that up tomorrow. And try and put in the rear spacers.

Got my rear spacers in last night with about a total time of 20 minutes? and did some rerouting of the tail pipe so I quit dragging it on everything.

Better hand that girl a bucket and some soap! Washy washy...

 

[EMOTHUG]

Oh I tried, but she has sound logic. I didn't let her drive, so she doesn't need to wash it lol

 

[EMOTHUG]

And I do it the proper way lol

 

[mobydick]

Good way to bring home topsoil!

I need to start sourcing parts for a manual swap. More then likely a 4 speed just because there more plentiful and cheaper. And it just fits my driving preference a lot better. That's the only true complaint I have with my 80.

This is the thread I'm compiling my material list from.

You have a 3FE, right? If you are going to swap the trans for a manual, you might as well pull a TBI 5.7, NV4500, NP2?? out of a Chev and swap it all over...

I thought about full swap all at once but there isnt anything wrong with my 3fe as it sits. Plus if/when I go to do a small block swap it can be mated to the 4 speed
