Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Over the weekend I picked up this 400ci. To replace the 307 in my 71k.
Tonite i finished stripping the unnecessary stuff off of it and got it drained in preparation of turning it over and popping off the oil pan too have a look. I would like too dress it with all the swp stuff off the 307 I'm not sure if the pulleys will line up with the thicker balancer...I'll find out soon enough. Never noticed 400's are not drilled for a clutch ball stud...this one will be ![]() I'm surprised to see rock auto has 400 flywheels for under $70.

Crawled underneath to check out why my rear diff. Is leaking pretty good. Leak seems to be at pinion seal.(I threw rear u-joint back in december,Related??) Rubber around carrier bearing moves side-to-side inside housing. Pulled rear diff. Fill plug to check level, was about half pint low. Topped her off and installed new pipe plug,old one was square drive and wallowed out, had a brand new hex drive plug from my recent water pump replacement.
Jacked up rear end to pull and wash wheels checking for wheel cylinder/diff. Leaks. Everything looked good, shot them with brakekleen, rotated tires,retorqued them, and since I was there,replaced brake hard line Tee retaining nut that always seems to be missing every time I look under there.(SS flat washer,and nylock should solve that...) Replaced #6 plug wire that I "repaired" about a week ago in parking lot after work. Rerouted wires a lil better from headers. Adjusted adjustable vacuum can, just recently started experimenting with the can after I found out it was adjustable.(when I had dist. Out about two weeks ago I operated the rod with a screwdriver and varnished,old gasoline spewed onto my work bench. The entire can was full!) More than likely gonna pick up that "Proform HEI Tune-Up Kit" from auto zone next paycheck, and have a distributor that I know exactly what's inside it.(no-name,no part numbers, nothing on my current one.) Started,idled,ran, and rode better than it did this morning.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Thank You! They are currently filthy from my 1 year old playing in "his truck"! I spent a lot of time deciding what to run, as I had Buddy Buckets in my last truck and loved them but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. I am very happy with how they look and feel!

Installed the Lokar billet gas pedal and the brake cover for the truck. I also installed a new chrome rear diff cover for the 12 bolt.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Well, the outer surface of the bumper was already like new - really only metal polish and some wax on it.. the inner had the start of rust and that is where I really cleaned things up. After the Coke and foil there, I used metal polish and wax as well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed new bumper, front and rear lenses, rebuilt doors with all new rubbers, added armrest, matching ignition and door locks, and new outside door handles. Busy day. Only have pics of bumper. Started getting dark, so I didn't get look real good but I think I may need to adjust my bumper.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I'm in the middle of changing my differential oil and cover (old one was a nice, rusted chrome unit). Draining overnight. Now I can see my gear ratio. Wife just loves that gear oil smell in the garage! Well, not really!
