Probably not going to to be an update for a few days. I haven't had a full night's sleep sense Sunday night and I'm headed in to work today. Probably a good thing I don't think I have the minde set to do what I need to do on the truck anyway. So I'll just go fix other people's cars

I get this and is why, along with shitty money, why I drive truck vs being a mechanic. It is hard enough to motivate myself these days.

Nothing to update guys it's been a pretty crappy week and I was out of split firewood so that's what I ended up doing this weekend. Killing logs keeps me sane. Well relatively level plateau

It's been pretty nasty out since Sunday evening snow, freezing rain. Sleet. Now rain again. This morning the truck wouldn't start when I went out to warm it up. I pulled a plug wire and checked for spark. Nothing! No fire in the hole. I ended up calling Brian the kid from work to give me a ride in and I texted my buddy Mark because he stopped by over the weekend and told me he had a Chevy distributor if I wanted it. Well Mark had a delayed opening today at fort Dix so he dropped it off to me at work. Turns out it's got an MSD module in it and it's a fairly clean distributor. I have Brian drive me home from work and I don't want to work on the truck in the rain so just for argument sake I turned the key vrumm fired right up! WTF? I'm wondering if it's that same intermittent problem I was having on the road last summer? Anyway it's supposed to be in the 50s here and sunny tomorrow so I'll swap the distributor then and hopefully it holds out until it all comes out.

With as much rain as we've had: hose the inside of the distributor cap out with WD40. Ya know WD stands for Water Displacement/er.....
Dunno about you. All my rigs been hating on me for the last couple weeks. Gremlins or Gods litte joke I dunno ! Hang in there.

Anyways thought I would drop this Food For thought. Not sure how long the link will be good for but it;s HRG working on a low buck version of the last of the 454's. Good for a chuckle when they drop a thousand dollar carb on top of a motor but made me smile to see they didnt window the block while they made North of 450 ( should be reliable) hp
