    Speedo recalibration

    Don't quote me but I believe that you need to get into the comp program for that. A local tuner shop perhaps.

    Turbo brick for me. 245's where great. Caught that bug with a 164E. But for fun I miss the 2002.

    Das Weiner Schnitzel

    Nice little car. A friend had a turbo car left on his lot. Turbo shattered and trashed the motor. A fella bought it from him and I swapped in a good motor. It would run for 30 seconds or so. He spent a bunch of money trying to get it rekeyed. Never did hear the final tally.

    The new Delco professional pump does have some webbing, but not the casting marks.

    Cracked, NEW AC Delco water pump

    I had to go look at the pair of pumps I have. The one that's being replaced and a new Auto Zone I was given. Didn't use the AZ as it was crusty from being left in a barn. They look identical to your cracked piece. Both have the same casting marks. Looking at the picture of the rusty one I don't...

    Cracked, NEW AC Delco water pump

    Hello and welcome from West Virginia! Dang it you've scared me, just today I painted my new Delco water pump. It's in the neighbors garage so I can't even go look at the thing till tomorrow.

    Very good advice above! Home Depot might have a walk behind trencher for rent.

    Let the fun begin.

    Heads, valve covers, and water pump painted. The last thing to paint is the battery tray, truly the only part of the truck with other than surface rust. And a couple of spots below it.

    Guys Mr. Murphy has been on overtime with me. Coupled with all the rain in my garage I haven't been able to accomplish much on the truck. Hopefully soon though.

    Interior paint/dye

    The rattle cans go a long way. SEM says 2 to 3 light coats does 10 sqft.

    The fella that put the blame on Virginia's motor locking up, at a slow manifold gasket leak I'd say nailed it. I haven't pulled the pan yet but no cylinder scoring. But the valve covers and filler tube are coated in some nasty red scale kinda goop. I've scrubbed the insides with a wire brush...

    Nice job on your truck! Had the Delco spider held up? The semi produced are great, did the seats in a car once, It held up for years other than a small area on the edge of the driver's bolster.

    Broken Lifter Spider Mounting Hole

    For what it's worth, I agree with Road Trip in that I'd let my daughter drive that. You've welded the nut to the bolt, thats not coming loose. The tray won't let it slide up, so nothing coming apart. And the loctite will prevent backing out. You've got this sussed.

    Fuel pump

    Had to make a short trip. Almost full tank of fuel, climbing the grades made no needle variation. Apply the brake, the needle twitches down a smidge. Release the brake it dips down about a quarter of an inch and returns. Then stays stable. Tomorrow should be a troubleshooting day. I've another...

    Road Trip thanks so much for taking your time with this I will definitely follow your suggestions. I'm not completely ignorant of the magic smoke, so hopefully I'll be able to understand all of that. Thanks again Jim

    Haven't had a chance to look into this yet. And now that my brains been warped I may not. The trip meter does work.
