Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Installed a rather disappointing gas pedal trim. At least it now looks like a complete set.

That looks to be a real clean lil Nova....Blue vinyl and matching interior. That's got a ton of potential. It looks like those are Oregon plates.... Did ya buy locally or drive cross country...? As far as my truck goes....I took the '66 and brought home a generator for a special project....and then...I also used it as a saw-horse.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 Round two of Woogeroo vs. the Fuel Pump... 2nd fuel pump of the week... this aggravation makes me want to put a block in it that has a mechanical fuel pump!!! (this engine block came in it) The Easter parking lot install fuel pump was leaking from the body molding of the pump, or something really weird! I used a excess piece of heater hose cut into two, 'C' clip shaped covers to protect the fuel line from the grips... worked great, just a little bit of fuel came out into my bucket. YAY. The difference in road side and driveway repairs is the amount of tools you have! I hope this one doesn't leak! -W |

I really sympathize with you. Over the years I’ve had a variety of electric fuel pumps from dirt cheap to very expensive. Regardless of brand, type or orientation of filters I’ve never owned one that didn’t fail – eventually. I’d love to have an electric pump right now to assist in starting after the truck sits for several days, but I just can’t tolerate the dependability of electric pump failures. By comparison, my mechanical pump has been in place for 20 years and still works fine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Fixed the interior light, learned in the process that the light switch needs replacing. Looped my heater hoses together so that my next job can be to remove and restore the heater box.
Hey, can I just plug the heater inlet/outlet at the water pump? Also, installed a new steering wheel, the old walnut wheel was coming apart a bit ( got a few nasty pinches from that one). Not thrilled with how that turned out. Previous owner installed a horn button on the steering column, when I got it all back together the horn just wants to blow. Must be a short that he had and didn't want to spend the time on. Will need to pull it all apart again and find the trouble. First real day in the grudge with my new toy
