There was no way to get the pulley off, because the tread to attach the tool is all ****ed up...
So i had to remove the whole ps pump assembly to seat those three bolts. So, 5h work for 3 damn bolts...

Now everything is together. After lunch I'll refill the coolant and ps fluid and give it a try. If it leaks I'll lit it...

Now I got all the fluids in and started for a test drive. Everything looks fine except the tach quit working. Must have forgotten to plug a connector, but i don`t know which...

But I`m happy that it stopped leaking...

My new hilift and tranny oil cooler:



The swingout mounts are also hilift jack points:



From my first try:



Then I played around looking how to mount it. Those are the two possibilities i figured out. First:



Second:





I like the second one more, but i`ll change if someone has a better idea...

Oh, and I need a little help with my tach. Where does it get it`s signal from? Which connector could have been forgotten?

Check the CMP sensor in the base of the distributor.

I definitely like the second one better. It looks cleaner to me with the jack that way.

That`d be possible, because i forgot this connector first and then plugged it blind. Maybe it`s not in right...

Today i started with the tranny oil cooler. First i cut the ac-connector off:



Then i put a connector in to fit the hoses:



The start of the mount:





First mockup:



Then the postman came and dropped this package for me:



It was may "new" (built 1969) air compressor:



Almost finished tranny cooler mount:





Finished welding and primered:

i love having my obd 2 reader. it makes it easy to clear my darn MAF sensor code that pops on under hard acceleration (entering the highway).


i assume the gyro gauge (i don't know the technical term) is for offroading to see what angle you truck is at? or is it just for fun?

A guy up here had one of those tilt gauges... It stuck once, and he rolled it. Everyone was saying "your gonna roll!", his reply "my gauge says im good." it was amusing.
Maybe I missed it, but where are you putting the compressor?
