Did you ever get heat inside the cab?

I did! It was late Friday night. I was going to post, but I lost track of time and then forgot to last night when I was on.

I changed out the water pump and decided to get new hoses to replace my cracked out ones. When I was cutting them to fit, I decided to poke around the opening for the hoses. When I put the screw driver in the intake port, it stopped way short. So I grabbed an angled pick and started digging crud out of the port. Eventually removed it from the intake and cleaned it all out and checked the intake for more crud.

Long story short, there was blockage at the intake. I imagine this is due to the intake I used was OLD and CRUSTY and probably could have used a good cleaning before I gave it the Krylon touch and then slapped it on a couple years ago. Something obviously broke loose and got lodged. Now the awesome anticipation of it happening again....at least I will know where to look if my heat goes out again!

(But that won't be too long, because I am slowly refreshing the awesome 292 and 4 speed I got from sigshooter. Great guy!)
