Weekend is here and it may be a good one. Sunny Saturday and partly cloudy Sunday and warming up to the 40s. I would love to dive into the transfer case put I still have no reliable help. I'm not going to let Lauren pull a cast iron 205 with me and my bad arm. I've got a lot of parts to install and just don't know where to start lol oh well I'll do something and hopefully not wrong

Hmm I think I like that idea it looks like it doesn't take up much space when not in use
It doesn't. When it comes out of the box, you have to put the wheels on it. It will go right back in the box with the wheels on it. I put it under my transmission when I pulled my crossmember and it held up the engine and transmission for days. I wasn't worried about it. No hydraulics to bleed down. I love that little thing.

At last I managed to find time to change the plug wires and do a little tuning. It's still not great but it's much better considering. You see my vacuum guage is still under the hood of my 78 Cutlass and my 78 Cutlass is still on the lift at my family's place in PA. The other issue I found is all those mismatched parts under the hood it seems that balancer isn't for that timing tab so I'm really tuning by ear and feal I should probably get some more done because tomorrow after work I'm going to pick up a ibc tote for the blasting rig Tuesday night im installing a new dishwasher and wendsday I have an I-CAR class. But I just don't feel like doing anything tonight

I got to get it out on the highway and stretch it's legs a little. After work I went and picked up an IBC Tote to use for water container on my homemade rig. Ran the truck up Route 70 and across 34 into Manasquan at the wall border seems like the longer I was on the road with it the better it ran and drove. By the time I got back to the hanger bearing was screaming and it definitely needs some U-joints. I guess I'll do that when I do the transfer case seals I I guess I'll do that one I do the transfer case seals hopefully this weekend weather permitting.
