Nothing fun here. Just a new serpentine belt and a cooling system flush.

 

Big 3 upgrade, charging system increased 1 full volt!

 

Finished 395a on the rear drivers side. Getting ready to buy new gas tank pump and straps

 

Drowned my blazer in a small pond last Saturday...since then I've replaced battery, starter,tccm,plugs, wires, cap n rotor,idle air control, throttle positioning sensor,flushed the pink milkshake out of the tranny, and cappuccino out of the motor. Finally got it running good again....now to start saving for the front diff seal job....I have the seal already, but figured it would be a good time to replace ball joints and control arm bushings....

 

Installed 2 tow point's into my front bumper today kinda like this:

 

Just like this, I bet ...

This came out of a generator that the owner left outside, uncovered for 3 or more years ... probably more .. lol. Got it running after pouring acetone/tranny fluid down the plug hole to free up the seized piston. Cleaned the chunks out the carb and she runs like a champ now.

 

Got all the rocker arms tightened down on the engine and put on one of the valve covers

 

yup, just like that....

 

did my fuel filter. I forgot that a little fuel runs out of it until you get the new one on lol. i laid to the side of it and ofcourse it ran down my arm into my eye. and i didnt get the bracket loose enough to slide the old one out. So,one eye open,fuel falling on me...

its done. I tell ya,so much **** came out of the old one,and you could barely blow through it.

 

I feel your pain. The wife used to have a '92 Cadillac STS. I replaced the fuel filter in that car once. I followed the procedure to depressurize the fuel system but there was still some residual pressure in it. When I cracked the nut loose fuel sprayed out sideways and under my safety glasses and directly into my eyes. That was not a fun time.
