Had the mounting plates for my bull bar re-slotted 2" higher so I could tuck it higher and match the body lift. Looks better IMO.

Woke up this morning and adjusted my carburetor, then when for a drive came back and my radiator was spitting coolant all over the driveway. Took the shroud off and it was crack at the top kinda by the upper hose. Bought new radiator, put it in flushed it, Good to go. Oh I also picked up some hinges for my rear hatch. Got my exhaust done yesterday. Nothing special. At least I have a tail pipe now. Failed my emissions test. High CO levels at high rpm.

Alright so I talked to my engine guy. And he says I need to get a Three Angle Valve Job and Valve Springs to match my new cam. So this means I have to find the box from my Cam and hope the Spec. Card is in there and that my drunken dad didn't lose it. I'm also in the process of pulling numbers off my engine while I have it apart. Right now I've come up with 2 numbers from the top rear of the motor. But I'm also gonna get my Head numbers and whatnot. I've got pics of the motor too... but they are on my hubby's camera and we forgot the cord... I think. So I'll take some pics with my Cell tomorrow when it's brighter, (although way hotter, and this heat is taking a toll on me being preggo lol)

After a trip to Reading Pa this weekend, it looks like my passenger hub is shot.

Finally got something (small) done today, (also uncovered a bad problem too).

Got gap guards mounted on the front. Made them from big floor mats you cut to shape for the trunk/cargo area of vehicles. Looks redneck, so it fits with me and the rest of the truck!


Bad news is the CEL light came on while going to advance to get replacement panel clips for the gap guards. Stumbled while accelerating and had a gurgle/pop in the exhaust note on deaceleration. Also had a faint whiteish smoke when I checked the oil dipstick and also when I popped the oil fill cap, even though the oil level is right where it should be. Hope it's nothing severe and dropping it off at the shop tomarrow.

Great, going to the repair shop on my birthday, awesome lol Might be getting an auto bill payed for instead of the H.O. alternator alright I'm done.

Got the exhaust done friday. Put a flow on and now instead of the exhaust coming out of the back and turned down like it was stock, I have the exhaust coming out of the side of the blazer right before the rear tire. Looks good .
