Thanks to Pewter in this thread I finally figured out where that errant vacuum line goes. I may even have the ability to get hot or cold air to flow from more than just vents!

ETA - maybe that's not the climate control doohickey. Still no floor heat... Oh well, at least I don't have that line flopping around with a little screwdriver plugging it.

dropped the panel under the steering wheel, had to cut out wires where the retarded po tried to install a hornet alarm system and spliced into the harness and in the harness to the computer, took like 3 hours to get it all fixed, and then put it all back and forgot to hook up the hvac, so im taking it all apart again tomorrow....fun fun

Went to swap new speakers in the dash hoping it was going to be a simple job...nope....my blazer didnt have any OEM speakers in the dash...not even connectors...so I had to run new wires and hook everything up...what I thought would take me about 30minutes took me two and half hours to run wires and make all the connections to get the 4x5s working... But it's all good now... Next week I want to get to replacing the back speakers and maybe installing a small sub...(still debating)

Feel alot better today . Drove to the YMCA to work out in the weight room. Drove back home then went to work. Stop at the gas station on the way home to fill the tank and pay $36.65 worth of gas. Drove 40 miles today. Stopping at the Browns here in Two Rivers tomorrow to see how much for the window visors and weatherstripping for my Blazer so I can start put the money away for it.

Got my speedo connected on the 78. Now I can tell how fast I'm gonna be going! Oh and I figured out the gearing. In the axles.... the rear is 3.08 and the.front is 3.48... so I'm gonna have a hard time with that... but I can always unlock the hubs and run in 2wd. Should get great gas mileage with that 3.08 at least. Unroll I put in some 4.11s
