40. Getting Closer
Although it hasn't run in over 8 years, getting close to firing the motor. Last night I pulled all the old spark plugs, replaced the oil and filter (pre-fill the filter), lubed the cylinders with mystery oil and primed the oil pump with a special tool I found online. Put some new Bosh Platinum 4212's in and re-stabbed the distributor.
Motor has new harmonic balancer, Gates performance 43272P water pump, alternator, fan, and plug wires/distributor cap. Went to install a new TFI module and realized that a special tool was needed that I didn't have so we'll find out tomorrow if the old one is still any good.

37 Heater Hose Delete
The heater core had already stripped out by prjor owner, so went looking for a way to delete the heater tubes.
Ordered this kit online to delete the heater tubes but retaim the ECT sensor which the engine requires for coolant temps. Picked up a 3/8 NPT barb at Lowes to retain the EGR cooling.

Once I get it installed will post up before and after.
36 Front Suspension - rebuilt and back on!!!
Front end re-installed this weekend
Lowering Springs 1.5”
Prothane A arm bushings
New Ball joints
Gabriel shocks
MM bumpsteer kit
MM Aluminum rack bushings kit
Prothane Sway bar bushings
The MM front spring installation tool is some of the best $ I ever spent.
It was a chore getting the A arm bolts off on the passenger side, one sleeves was fused to the bolt and had to be cut.
