Well, I spent all day in the rain last Saturday putting in my 700r4 and Dana 60. Had to make a track bar, since the Dana 60 bar was too short, so I used the HO52 bar. Sunday buttoning up some stuff and installing the Bowtie Overdrives EZ TV cable system. Today, I got my freshly rebuilt and shortened drive shaft in, and then came inside because it started raining again. Tomorrow, I will finish it up, cross my fingers, and hopefully go for a drive!!

Rebuilt the 1406 Edlebrock Carb - adjusted the auto choke.

If that tranny doesn't shift well, get the Lokar tv cable. That will fix it.

Installed a new throttle assemble for the LT1 with a Lokar SS cable, layed out the new Techrods wiring harness on the engine (very well layed out), welded in the O2 bungs in my headers and finished installing the B&M Mega Shifter.

New front park light lenses - and took it out to meet some fellow Oregon and Washington owners and their trucks.

yeah I was amazed how nice and taken care of the bumper is and got it for a steal when I was told the price was and offered the guy extra money for it as courtesy for the shape its in but he didn't want the extra money. For now it's a temp until I decided on if I'm wanting a roll pan or a sports or custom type bumper

Broke my gear shift lever at the Chinese restaurant. Got home and replaced it with a spare. I guess with the cold weather the old grease is getting real hard in the column and it makes it hard to get into park. Where exactly is this grease? How far will I have to take the column apart to clean the old out and replace it?

I also started working on my back brakes. Took the passenger side drum offf and was surprised at how dry everything is back there. I got new wheel cylinders anyway but couldn't believe there are no no leaks. I took the drums in to check them to see if they could be turned thinking I could save a little money but the old ones were well out of spec. The new ones were over a 1/4 smaller inside diameter meaning mine were really worn out! Thank goodness for parts store gift cards and employee discounts!

Remove steering wheel , press out the shift lever pin , remove turn signal switch and then remove the upper mast jacket collar , clean out that old rock hard & dust filled grease then use long fiber white lithium grease to lube the various parts , re assemble and loosen the adjuster clamp under the hood , shift into park and re adjust the clamp with the shifter andtranny both in park, it should be good to go for another 40 years and work smooth as silk plus make all those wonderful GM column noises....

If the shift lever pivot pin is too loose & drifts out , get a cotter pin that fits snugly inside it and a flat washer that's snug on the cotter pin , cotter pin goes in the top , washer up from the bottom , spread the cotter pin to hold the washer in place with no free play then use dykes to trim off the excess cotter pin ends .

Works like a charm & is nearly free , no one ever notices .

It was pi$$ing down rain so I went to Long Beach where there are many good Pick-A-Part Junkyards , wandered around and found a '53 DeSoto Taxi that had a Chevy 250 L6 in it that had the hard to find late model rocker box with the raised " CHEVROLET" letters and the correct later model smog hose connections , grabbed that and discovered they'd give me a 25 % discount for being stupid enough to be swimming in the oily water so I went back to the Hearse & grabbed my tool box and coveralls , spent the next 4 hours in the mud grabbing unobtanium suspension parts from Metropolitans and such.....

By the time I left , the sun was out , I was soaked head to toe but very happy indeed .

There's a K5 (?) Blazer (square body , looks like my old '75) in there (Ecology Yard on West Lomita Blvd. Long Beach) with a very nice complete rear seat and other bits & bobs too in case there's any Blazer lovers here .
