I think we've all done that, in some way from time to time.

I just put my jag bombs (once empty) on the hood for a refill from the girlfriend. beer gives me a headache

on a side note, h4 conversion housings and bulbs wont be here until wednesday, but i am still going to put in the HD harness tomorrow, since it will be easier to put in lights in the rain instead of a whole harness.

Got the HD harness put in this morning.
Found a vac line unhooked at some canister on the drivers side under the remote oil filter (not sure what that is for, but its the size of a coffee can with 3 vac lines coming off of it)
hooked it back up, maybe that was the cause of my truck running rich? hmm..

Picked up the fixins to add a tilt/telescopic steering column to the ol' Blazer. Using a Corvette wheel and a Cadillac column.

That's the charcoal canister. About as useful as the EVAP systems on the '96+ vehicles. It's sole purpose is for emissions (while EVAP's sole purpose is to take every last dollar from you ....). I normally disconnect them & toss in the trash. Can put a little filter on the end of the vent line to the tank to prevent debris from entering.

Somewhere down the line some left-leaning scientist decided gas fumes were killing the planet ... so this is the result. If gas fumes were that bad I should've died 20 years ago .... but I digress .....
