Soooo...is it running yet?
 
Nope. Need an air rail and one air nozzle still :(

You would have been proud of me and my anti seize today!! ;)
 
Oh, and that vsv... I think I have some good leads on the parts I need though, unless there is someone local/closer/sooner...
 
Okay! Prob aren't what you're looking for but gives some visual to what's going on/went on:
Busted vsv and new freeze plugs:

Awesome wiring by combat chuck! (new direct power run up to/through shifter boot, soon to be into new center console for aux fuse block for radio, cb, extra power outlets... Maybe even mount an inverter in there ??)

Oh, and I will pre-empt the flaming by disclaiming that I haven't cleaned the valve cover yet, and def will when it's off for valve adjusting and new gasket!!

(side note to Pighead: I got the ds motor mount and smog pump bracket all cleaned up ;) )
 
Here she is, getting all fixed up right! :cheers:

awesome!
Your exhaust man did a bang-up job!

You could definitely run an inverter inside your cab without issue once that expansion line terminates into a fuse bock.
 
Now that's looking good! That's for the pics!

When I'm at the boneyard I always try to scrounge a few emissions parts, VSV, etc. off any Toyota or Japanese car of similar vintage. I like the color coded silicone vacuum hose.
 
Wow she's a beaut!!!

the f*** is that?
 
I fixed above post ;)
 
She running yet?

When she's back on the road, taker her up 505 to Winters, and go west on 128 through Sage Canyon Road. That area is incredible this time of year!
 
Will do for sure!! Chiles and pope canyons are my hunting spots!! And some wheeling back there too... Hoping to get the air rail and nozzle in mail tomorrow so I can fire her up!!!
 
Oh, Pope canyon is amazing!
Never hunted back there, but I should someday.
Been wanting rabbit for the better part of a month now!
