What I've been up to and what the UPS driver dropped off
Well I've been working my a$$ off at work and been neglecting the truck. So I felt bad and called up Summit and order some parts (see below). I ordered the finishing parts of the gauge swap (Auto-Meter Pro-Comps), a HEI pigtail since mine was starting to get loose, a TCI SFI approved flexplate since I have a bad spot on the stock flexplate (with a 2500 stall it finally bent it enough to where the starter won't engage it at a certain spot) and the ARP bolts for the crank to flexplate and the torque converter bolts to the flexplate. I installed the gauges like bigblock73 did in front but need to still get a speedo cable. Damn Napa ain't around here anymore So after one day of working on gauges and installing them they look great and work even better. At night there's no doubt on what my gauges are reading. It's clear as daytime. So after installing the gauges I went to tackle the flexplate but of course I ran into trouble. I'm going to have to borrow a compressor and air tools to get the tranny bell housing bolts loose. I tried everything and nothing worked. Time for more power. Next day off I'll be doing that and then onto the front end.
Personally I'm doing good with a new higher position at work and lost 165 as of last month. I still have more to go but over half way there. Also another aspect of my life is doing even better. Divorce is getting done and let me just say (since a public board) LIFE IS GOOD!!! If you want more info on this PM me
