I've seen that pic on a google search of the ugliest dog.

Well the mustang is about done which means a spot might be opening in the shop. I have to contact one guy and give him first shot since he has been waiting, but sometimes life changes things up on us. I still have to do a shake down test drive once he gets a tag for it.

Cool pic's Alan, as many times as I've seen pic's of your truck today I just noticed you have a GMC hood on your truck. It adds a touch of class to an already classy truck, couldn't be cause mine is all GMC could it? But I was wondering how I missed that early on, oh it don't matter it looks killer and that's what's important anyhow. Do you have a pic of the one under the Coke sign in color? I like the ones outside the barn as well thanks for posting..Vernski

That's a good one.

I've got it on the lift doing a nut and bolt check. It has developed a thunking noise when turning while parking. Something feels like it is shifting.

Not only do I want your truck but I want that lift now too. dang it!

Alan's Classic · 07-25-2013, 10:33 PM

I have a question about the sealing of the manifold to the back of the ac compressor. It's a 89 S10 comp it came with thick seals. The after market manifold came with thin gaskets. The inside nipple of the manifold is too short to use the thick gaskets. I tried charging the ac and have a bad leak in this area. I tried soapy water and couldn't locate it. I'm inspecting things to make sure things are right. I have a feeling it's coming from the fittings where they screw onto the manifold. I've tried new o rings with no change.

Alan's Classic · 07-25-2013, 10:41 PM

I think the manifold is hitting the comp before the seals seal.

Now do I try to use the thick seals and see if it works.....why not.

You got me. You tried everything I was thinking of.

But Dude you need a manicure..

Alan's Classic · 07-28-2013, 01:18 PM

I shaved the raised area on the compressor that was hitting the fitting. If this doesn't work I have no idea.

That is so weird. Did it ever hold pressure or just when you first charged it?
