Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I knew I’d find the spindle and lower control arm if I kept digging . This isn’t even with any power tool all I did was wire brush after scraping .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Washed it, and peeled off some of the stickers on the back window. I'm not a fan of wearing my politics on my truck. Worse yet, wearing someone else's politics on the back of my truck. Yesterday, I ordered a new steering wheel, adapter, and quick release. I plan on making it as hard to steal as possible.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Fantastic truck, JT!
I didn’t do much. Guy came by to pick up some letters for the hood of his 68 and brought me a trade. Actual front license plate from the period for my truck. It’s about 1.5x thicker than new plates these days. Couldn’t help but put it on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Decided our master cylinder is leaking, not the wheel cylinders.
And worked on teaching my son how to navigate the crazies.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got to the engine today . Need to pull the pulleys and paint also need a new temp sender gage works but sender is DOA . Also the upper and lower alternator brackets are cracked so I need to weld them up. Man I love the Eastwood SCT tool definitely have gotten my moneys worth out of it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
And anyone know why there would be an external resistor on the coil? As long as I’ve owned it there has been no wire coming out of it . Could it be for radio interference ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
The resistor is in the harness in '68. That coil is a replacement; a factory coil wouldn't have that requirement printed on it. The item on the side of the coil is a capacitor (condenser); it is for suppression of radio interference due to the ignition. The capacitor inside the distributor cap also serves for noise suppression, but its primary purpose is for impedance matching the ignition circuit.

I did a little today . Looks much better with the chassis finished to contrast the engine. Painted the fan pulley and PCV parts going to finish the breather tomorrow. Never saw ridges on a pulley before .

Never seen ridges like that, either. Weird.
It's looking good, in any event!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Thanks for the compliment . I see it more as a clean up than a restoration.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Ok I ordered the PCV grommet from Napa guaranteed to fit my 68 250 ci . Well it don’t fit . The hole for the grommet measures 127/128 so one inch accounting for paint. The inside lip of the grommet is 1"3/16ths . I look at rock auto they have one but it’s oddly shaped . Maybe it’s correct I have no idea . Anyone have any suggestions . Don’t need anything else so I’d hate to spend $4 on shipping for a 1.58 part

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
The grommet you show from Rock Auto fits 85-96 Chevy V-8 & V-6 steel valve covers. I dont think that one will work for you but hate to say for sure.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Did the air cleaner today. The snorkel was dented so I popped it out a bit and used some metal filler.
