Too fuch'n hot in central FL. I normally work at least 40 weeks per year, with at leats 3 days per week. I've had to give up 2 months worth of work on the teeners because I don't have A/C in the shop.... 90+ degrees and 90+ humidity is TOO MUCH for me...
Now, when the fall, winter and spring arrive, I'll be 100% into reburishing the (3) teeners I have left to work on.... -- Rob |

Cut the grass this morning before it got too hot. Then put the re-lubed distributor back in. Set the timing statically and drove her around the block to see how she felt. It been 3 months since I've driven her. Next weekend I'll borrow a timing light and set the timing correctly. Then maybe drive her some more!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

On call this weekend. Worked from 15:00-22:00 yesterday and got a wake up page today at 06:11 and worked straight until noon. I'm off the clock (sort of) at 18:00. I might get a quick trip to dinner in the 914. Depends on the rain because I don't want to have to put the top on for a 5 minute drive.

Drove today... intended to work on it. Crash came over to help me troubleshoot my fuel problem and, of course, it ran well pretty much the whole time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
So for the moment it runs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) , just not reliable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . |

When ya get into that kind of predicament, just take your bud for a long ride with a bunch of tools. Don't forget not to exit your 100 mile AAA boundaries and you should have it all figured out. I'd try to hit all the titty bars within a 100 mile radious. Its all about plannig and fool.ing the car:beer1:

Do I or don't I...........? Group: Members Posts: 5,900 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States |
Did some cleanup work on the transmission early in the day, until they heat index went about 100 (I don't sweat, so I need to be very careful in extreme heat). So then I decided to pull my toolkit out of sealed storage - individual pieces wrapped in baggies, with Dryrite. To my dismay, 2 of the tools apparently had pinholes in the baggies & I fear they may be toast. Worked on them for several hours in the 60 degree cool of my basement, to little avail. They look like.......old tools!
Won't take up everyones time here with CW questions - see that forum if more ineterest (yeah, right!) Pat |

Couldn't work on my teener today. Instead I had to change the fuel pump in the wifes explorer and the rear brakes on my truck.

Installed the low pressure fuel pump and plumbed and wired it. Reinstalled the tank. Bruce Stone came by with his son Wes. They bought a part from me and helped with the tank a little. It will be a little while before it runs. Too hot to work long and hard on it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Fixed my sticky throttle cable, followed by what sounded like a broken lifter.... I could just puke. |

Pulled the motor, split the tranny / motor, took the fuel off, tin off, next I need to get the motor on the stand.
It will be stored for a while until the chassis gets moving. |

Well, it stayed too hot to paint. I got some epoxy primer of the bare metla from the last round of sanding, and put more primer in the front and rear trunks (just so I did not have to toss the mixed paint). I think that I am ready for color, I just need to find a cooler day for painting (not this week... DOH).
Dr. Evil came over for a bit to do some tranny work, but forgot a tool, so we got pizza and played cards instead with our women folk. Zach |

Welded the coolant pipes that were previously tacked in place for my V8 conversion. Aside from the under car pipes, I made a number of interconnection pipes to avoid long runs of rubber hose. Emptied my argon tank, so I need to re-fill the bottle.
Also finished my cable shifting linkage on the transaxle. Made a temporary hook up to the shifter tower and viola! I get all 6 gears and reverse. I took photos, but forgot to down load them. Maybe tomorrow. Andys |
