Last week I ordered some new wiper blades from wipers123 cause they emailed me my annual inspection notice. Tried the new trico ice winter beam blades. Had 20 degree temps over the weekend and got our first snow in WI today. THEY ARE AWESOME!! Much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much better than the old winter wipers with the rubber covering them. Bring on the WI winter!!

 

Photos when done please.

 

Started on rust repair and body work a couple of weeks ago, hopefully by spring she's all painted up! I am welcoming ideas!

 

Replaced crappy 1 year old driveworks idler arm with a moog. Much less slop in the steering. 20 min. job

 

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!


Look at my build if you wanna know whats happening lol!

 

Today, New fuel injector and nut kit. changed the oil, now waiting to go back to napa to get the right filter... (filter is on the block now)
then i can fill it up with oil, and start it.. and so help me god, if its not running right......

 

Okay..... put ANOTHER new fuel injector in cause the other new was leaking out of the box, put in a new nut kit, no more fuel leaks.... still having rough idle. Everything else is perfect, flick the key, it starts, there really is no throttle lag from it running rough at idle. pulled up to a stop sign, hit the gas from the stop sign and rough idle and it accelerates perfect, get above idle RPM and it runs like a dream.
Tomorrow I am going to put a new #3 plug in, and clean the #4 plug on the passenger side, they could just be partially fouled.

 

Today I removed my old dash tweeters, bought new Polk 4x6s , & installed them. They sound great! Unfortunately though my speaker covers were so sun damaged that both cracked in half... Guess I'll be pulling new ones from the junk yard.

 

picked up some more parts for the SAS of course details are in my build thread

 

Still struggling with the jimmy to get it to run right, still stumbling at idle like I have a huge cam, like when a dragster pulls up to the line...
Then i give it gas and it runs perfect, until it gets to idle basically. accelerates perfect, just that damn idle.

so for I have replaced nut kit, injectors, fuel pump and TPS.
I think Friday I am going to check the timing, I noticed that the distributor is squeaking, not sure if that would effect idle.
I have Captain Hook being more than generous with his knowledge.
