New camera Anniversary gift. 20 minute break. Pic of truck to try it out.

Anyone else see what's wrong in this pic...

is that a header bolt down on the crossmember?

bigblock73 · 11-17-2007, 01:15 PM

You dropped a bolt?

Shock Me is the winner!!

And Bigblock73 - I didn't drop it, I've noticed no exhaust leak. (So maybe I DID drop it!) But, I'll know more at lunch. I didn't notice this until I reviewed my pics this morning.

Looks like that spark plug wire and other hose got a little cozy together there on the header pipe. And that aluminum AC looks all messy where it connects to it's manifold, other than whatever that is wrapped around it, it looks all funky where it connects to the compressor.

Actually the burned wire is on the other side #5. My spark wires are blue Taylors. The A/C is aftermarket installed by the original owner. It worked 4 years ago when I test drove it (and still works!!). How can yo NOT buy an older truck with working A/C??? Yes the Vapor hoses look like they're rubbing the headers and the wires are sloppy as heck.

Someday on the engine detailing....

AC didn't work on my 80 when I got it, but after replacing a burnt switch and fixing some bad wiring, it works, and didn't even need to be recharged!

OK! That's the forward bolt on the center ports. I threaded it back in and snugged it a bit with my trusty Multi-Tool.. which promptly snapped at the lower jaw!! I'll torque them all up at home tonight.
