What did you get done 11/9/14 edition
The truck came back from getting the paint on the cab. Now that its home, I started removing the core support from the old plow truck. right inner fender is good the left is bad so I need to replace that, then I put a door the right door on and just laid the fender kinda on with one or two bolts
How about you all>?

Re: What did you get done 11/9/14 edition
I scored a set of 100% rust free inner fenders at a local pick and pull yesterday for $40. And I also got a set of GM 2005 HD 8lug take offs with good tires for $400 off of CL today.
And, I got the Christmas lights on the house today. No fun but done.

Re: What did you get done 11/9/14 edition
Got the temp gauge fixed, got the heater and defrost working, adjusted the timing and it was running great. After about 4 months of waiting on funds and the other little things getting done. I took it down the highway. It was fantastic.

Rebuilt the quadrajet, played with manifold vs ported for the vacuum advance and bought a new timing light.

Re: What did you get done 11/9/14 edition
Got the heater core out. Found out the replacement aluminum ones are a POS. The instructions say duct tape makes an excellent seal. Really? Pulling a used one this week. Cold weather on the way.

Re: What did you get done 11/9/14 edition
The '83 has had a starting problem since I got it. I was thinking timing, but there was no timing tab. So I put one on, the only type on the shelf, the two o' clock type. Then I tried to time it and it ran like garbage, so I had to find top dead center with a screwdriver. Turns out it needs a 12 o' clock timing tab, so I just used the mark I made to time it. It actually was pretty close to being right. So I put the battery from the '87 in it and it seems to start fine now. Now to figure out why the '87 isn't running right.
