    Yesterday, I finally got around to installing the new NGK spark plugs I had sitting on the garage table for months.I found out 2 of the accel header plugs weren't firing and had ash deposits on them, closer look and the looked liked they were cracked right at the base
    Also cleaned the tires/hubcaps for the first time in over a year

    Went to a car cruise and seen some nice rides. then took a ride with my dad to Cabelas , there prices are nuts.

      today, I finished the lowering of the rear of the c-10..
      still need to replace one brake line(hit with hammer(oops)
      and waiting on new rubber hose and shoes (ordered)...
      moved on to the transmission, dropping the pan in this thing is a royal pain..
      8 bolts on the crossmember REALLY!! 8 bolts to the frame,4 per side.. W.T.F.
      can't get to 2 pan bolts without moving the crossmember.. so..
      now I have to wait for the tranny mount as the one on it was micky mouse (D/F YOU SURE THIS WASN'T YOUR TRUCK)
      painted the pan, would've added a drian but no point as a 200r4 is going in .. at some point

          Great weekend, installed the LM-1 and its working, fixed the brake issues. While I was there, I installed a manual boost controller and found the 5psi I was missing.

          Of course, as you fix one thing, you find new things to do. Clutch won't hold the extra 5psi of boost.

            Bob, your tool theory worked. Had my bag full of tools in the truck and didn't need a damn one of them!

              That always happens to me.

              When I travel cross country with the SVO, I hook the boneyard SVO up behind. Haven't needed it once.

                  Picked up ranger trans and converter from lou - they have an old rotunda converter cleaning machine - they ran mine through several cycles to purge any bad juju out of it - I need to do the same with the cooler.

                  Put my neighbors vette body on the trailer - dropped it at the vette shop - picked up the rolling chassis complete with all new drivetrain and dropped that back at his place -- sounds easy - but involved lots of tricky maneuvering with the truck and trailer and some interesting loading and unloading moments!





                  Got the lawnmower ready for the season - changed oil, air filter, and spark plug, blade looked good enough to leave it alone.

                  There's always something new to learn.
