What does your car need b4 the power tour?

I changed the torque converter in the wagon today. The lock up in the old one quit working. All the transmission shops were behind, so I did it myself. This old man is tired.

But the price was right !

Mine needs another bath too -- 3 days of cleaning and waxing then 2 + days of rain driving to and from work.

.....a good bath

Nailhead and Mopar parts are high too. I don’t know what my car needs yet because we still haven’t got it out. The weather has just been crappy.

Haven't had the Wagon out of the garage yet either. All the basics check fine in the garage. Oil change tomorrow and then maybe a few warm up miles. The road trip from Sioux Falls to home last fall was enough wheel time to prove the car is ready for the Long Haul. There's a few minor changes I'd like to make, but nothing that's necessary for the trip.

It runs and the new brakes work, but since it's all new front suspension...it needs an alignment, and it's difficult to drive.
I need a tune, and that is happening next week.

Joining this thread late, but things are moving along...
Recent action:
New wheels/tires, gear change with Eaton posi install, leaks fixed, dented fender replaced.
Still needed:
New carpet install, wet sand new fender and polish whole truck, new bed cover install, and of course, fill up both tanks!

Being a Ford guy - I would have thought you would have grown accustom to premium pricing

True. You should see what they want for flatty parts.

I was looking at headers but apparently, people that make headers for Oldsmobiles, think they're made of gold.

Well, I thought we were ready. I found out the exhaust manifolds were cracked and warped. New manifolds on order and we should have them tomorrow.

C10 is back to being reliable. It was the pickup coil after all.

I finally moved on to get the A/C working. :D






Not sure if this will work well, but it's cheap enough that it was worth it.

[a_d_a_m]

If I can't get the C-10 reliable in the next couple of weeks, maybe I'll swing on the Squire so we can have a woodgrain party. Our cars are practically twins.
