Ordered the pair of rear wheel cylinders for the back brakes on my M/Carlo. Had the UMI cross brace for the rear shock mounts come in. Picked up the oil for my S-10 and a filter for the 5.3.
I get the cylinders tomorrow.

Managed to get over to Napa this Saturday PM. Steve had the wheel cylinders; I showed him the corpse of the dead one and he just shook his head. He also had my Krylon, the box of 180gr 3M gold long board sanding paper, the warrantied seal for the pinion yoke, and the seal surface saver sleeve for the yoke as well. It is typical that with all this bounty to play with, what I may be facing is a lost weekend. My lower pelvic muscles decided they didn't want to do stoop labor no mo' and went into spasm. Wasn't worth a trip to the emerg, about all that would produce would have been something that I already knew. Did take some Tylenol for it but the spasms were messing with my digestion and it took until today for the stuff to kick in. Didn't sleep more'n two hours at a time last night; made up for it today!!
Furnace repair team was supposed to show up today; Uh-uh, nope, nien, nada, nix. Beginning to think I may have to go elsewhere to get someone to do this job. Also think they may be more interested in renting me a new one than me getting more life out of the one I have.
Some days just suck, others are more like quick sand.

Bought some more reference material for G-bodies in general. I used to have an older ACDelco tuneup book, but someone borrowed it and it's long gone. This one zeros in on the G-body era, so it was a no brainer. I especially like the computer controlled carb book. It has some good information in it.
Bringing back good memories those are Dealer Tech books, they had them at the dealer I worked at. Alot of good info in those books.
I bought a parts car for my next project... it has near new tires on wheels i'll install on the buick...
any guesses as to which motor is in it?
It needs a bit of throttle sequencer work but the complete parts kit is there and the fella used to take it to work regularily. The new batteries should be less than a complete LS swap.

It might hafta do with a little something like this... not quite sure of all the "hows" just yet.
When my buddy sent me a link on the white car, he asked what my thoughts were... i replied " hang on Man! I'm reading up on how to chop that white sh*t off so's i can put my yellow cab on it lol"
Currently has a 156V system installed. Has been driven on nice days since its completion. It comes with a 1200A speed drive in it, and that is the part that may have been run a bit hard while subjected to a possible undervoltage condition.
Once the ttype has the ability to move itself around again... the yellow truck heads into metamorphosis again.

Stay busy folksies!
