Yeah, it didn't hit where I stay too bad. The wind just messed up our privacy fence, but a mile down people had trees in their house and power has been out all day for a good portion of the city. It could have been worse for sure.

My car parts didn't come in today due to the weather.. so hopefully they'll come in, in time tomorrow for me to put them on. If not, I may have to wait until Monday.

Well Houston, we have a problem. Was wondering why I have been smelling fuel the past few days. The top o-ring for one of the feed lines in my injector assembly is leaking.. And since I have disturbed it by taking off the intake and the lines out, it's now REALLY leaking. So, being as I have to be at work tomorrow by 12 and my girlfriend will have the 95', I will be buying the spider assembly rebuild kit from the Advance here in town in the AM and hopefully get her back together in time.

If anyone wants to know how, I will post a how-to video up tomorrow on rebuilding the injector assembly. The kit is $14 here.

I decided not to do the lower intake gaskets, being as the chambers actually look pretty clean going down. The throttle body was really dirty and the driver PCV valve was getting the upper intake a little nasty.

I haven't posted in a while. Having a lot of issues with my work.. Haven't even been able to put my front end parts on yet.

But, I rebuilt the spider injection system. No leaks. One issue I did find was that my fuel pump check valve is bleeding pressure back. No big deal at the moment aside from probable hard cold starts this upcoming winter. I may change it in the next few months. Hopefully I will get the front done before Monday.

I got my new touchscreen radio in the mail this morning. I'll get pictures of the install. Also have my sub wired in. CB Radio will be next.

Tonight I will be picking up a surprise. I have a buddy that just so happens to have what I've been looking for exterior wise.

Also I have to weld up a door jam. Previous owner cut the side of the body open and folded it back to be what looks like an attempt to change the latch hinge. It's about to bust and let the door fly open any pothole now.

So this is turning into more of a repair thread than a build thread..

That fuel pump I mentioned.. it went out in the parking lot at my work. Ordered the assembly off Rock Auto at next day air. So, Tuesday I get the joy of dropping the tank again. Woo-hoo!

On the bright side, I finally got my rims swapped out. Didn't get a chance to put the new head unit or CB in yet. I'll get some pics up though.
