I swapped on the snow tires. I try to avoid salty roads after fixing all the rust spots but if I need a reliable winter vehicle the wagon is perfect. Posi rear, manual trans, and real snow tires are pretty hard to beat.

That's kinda how I feel about my truck. I fixed so much rust on it that I hate driving it in the salt but it's 4x4, posi (trac-lok for Ford) front and rear, has meaty 31" all-terrains and a 5 speed. It's like it was optioned with snowstorms in mind.

Glad you figured this out so I don't have to :mrgreen: I hate universal rad hoses. What are you doing for your lower rad hose?
20597. Fits nice, but expect to do a little trimming. The lower hose is easier, it just needs to be a big "L". Bypass hose are the same for all "modern" late 60s-8s Buick small block and rwd V6.

No maintenance this weekend just racing at the goodguys autocross. I’m not the fastest but I’m also not the slowest. Here is my dad with the monte pit in the grid area.
